Own a Business in the Industry You've Been Working In: Forklift Hire, Repairs & Sales, QLD

Business ID: XB163500

FY25 Adjusted EBITDA $600k+ | Adjusted PEBITDA $900k+ | $1.3M+ in Owned Assets


Ready to stop working for someone else and start running your own? This is a rare chance for a forklift technician, service manager, or materials handling professional to step straight into ownership of an established, profitable business, without the time, cost, and risk of starting from scratch.

With over 30 years of trading history, this forklift sales, hire, and mechanical servicing business comes with a proven platform, loyal client base, and strong local brand already built for you.

Over $1.3 million in fully owned forklifts and spare parts is included in the sale: real assets that can potentially support bank or equipment finance, using the fleet and stock as security rather than relying purely on unsecured lending. Speak with the broker and your finance provider about structuring options.

The business is well-organised and hands-on, with an experienced technician team on the tools. The co-owner manages client relationships, bookings, and scheduling, while his wife handles bookkeeping and payroll from home.

Why this business, why now:

   -  30+ years established, with a loyal client base and minimal marketing spend required

   -  Over $1 million in repairs and maintenance revenue generated independently of hire clients, a diversified income base

   -  Recurring hire income plus steady repairs revenue

   -  Experienced technician available to support the transition

   -  Strong supplier relationships, including negotiated international import channels

   -  $1.3M+ in owned forklifts and spare parts included, minimal additional capex required

   -  Established operational systems already in place

   -  Relocation required, with premises options available to the incoming owner

Offered as a going concern, with up to 1 month of handover support from the current owners, who will exit on sale. Given planned staffing changes, this suits buyers with prior experience in forklifts, materials handling, or heavy equipment, whether an individual technician, a pair of industry professionals, or an established operator adding to their book of business.

Asking Price: $1,238,910, including all forklifts, spare parts stock, and goodwill. Speak with the broker about structuring options and how the asset base could support your finance application.
