Forklift Auctions in Appleton, WI
Appleton anchors the Fox Valley's industrial corridor, with paper manufacturing, converting equipment, printing, and general industrial operations along the Fox River.
Fox Valley paper mills and converting plants move enormous volumes of raw and finished material, from incoming pulp and paper rolls to outbound cases and pallets destined for printers and distributors, and that flow depends on a fleet of forklifts built for the job. Roll clamp attachments for handling paper rolls, high-capacity counterbalance units for warehouse floors, and reach trucks for narrow-aisle storage are all common at Appleton facilities. When a mill downsizes or a converting line is retired, that fleet becomes available at once. KD Auctions catalogs each unit's attachments, hours, and condition, then markets the fleet to warehouses, distribution centers, and other paper and converting operators through its 500,000+ industry contacts, drawing bidders well beyond the Fox Valley.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're retiring several forklifts with paper roll clamps from an Appleton converting line. Do specialty attachments help or hurt resale?
Roll clamp and other specialty attachments generally add value because they are expensive to buy new and always in demand from other paper and converting operations. KD Auctions inventories every attachment separately in the catalog so buyers can bid with full knowledge of what is included.
How long do we have to remove forklifts after an Appleton auction closes?
Buyers typically have 7 to 14 days to arrange removal after the auction closes. Most forklifts can be driven onto a flatbed by the buyer or a transport company, and KD Auctions can provide transport referrals if needed.
