Buying Considerations
New vs. Used: New Cat forklifts offer the latest technology (AC motors, regenerative braking, lithium-ion) and full warranty. Used Cat forklifts offer significant savings (often 30–70% less) but require thorough inspection of hours, engine/battery health, and maintenance history.
Power Source:
Electric (EC series, EP series): Zero emissions, quiet operation, ideal for indoor warehouses
Diesel (DP series, DPH series): High torque for heavy outdoor applications, ports, construction sites
LPG/Propane (GP series): Cleaner than diesel, suitable for mixed indoor/outdoor operations
Cat Certified Used: Cat Used units provide the best balance of price and reliability with dealer support, rigorous testing, and available warranties.
Auction Risks: Most auction units are sold “as-is, where-is” with no warranty. Some units may be inoperable (GC30), missing keys (MC30), or require significant repairs.
Dealer Support: Authorized Cat dealers provide parts, service, and warranty coverage. Cat dealers sell only the best equipment and Cat Certified Used machines are rigorously tested.
Financing: Available through most dealers and Cat Financial.
Shipping and Taxes: Buyer is responsible for all costs related to transporting the item. Auction items may be subject to state sales tax (e.g., California sales tax on IronPlanet items).
2026 Models: New 2026 Cat models available through dealers include the MNO038Q2 mini order picker, NPP20Q2BL mini power pallet truck, and DP25P3 diesel forklift.
