Owners Operated Forklift Hire, Repairs and Sales Business with Strong Asset Base – QLD

Business ID: XB163500

FY25 Adjusted EBITDA $600k+ | Adjusted PEBITDA $900k+ | $1.3M worth of assets


  This long-established forklift sales, hire, and mechanical servicing business is now available for acquisition. With over three decades of trading history, it offers a rare opportunity to step into a well-respected and proven operation within the materials handling sector.

The business currently operates with two experienced full-time technicians alongside the owners, who also work on the tools. Office functions are managed by the co-owner, who handles client relationships, bookings, and maintenance scheduling, while his wife oversees bookkeeping, payroll, and accounts from home. Together, they’ve built a highly functional, hands-on operation supported by well-organised systems.

Services include short- and long-term forklift hire, mechanical repairs, LPG compliance certification, and sales of fully reconditioned forklifts. With a reputation for fairness, reliability, and value, the business has become a preferred supplier for many independent and small-to-medium industrial clients.

Included in the sale is over $1.3 million (as part of the package on offer) in fully owned forklifts and spare parts stock, offering excellent value and minimal upfront capital expenditure for incoming owners.
