Once the form appears, complete the form by entering the type of forklift you were looking for including your company name, state & email address. At the bottom of the page click the button "send this email". An email will be generated asking for assistance in locating your specific forklift. Your email will be sent to various dealers, wholesalers and independent lift trucks companies qualified to help you locate a forklift. Additionally, we have placed a link to this form above the advanced search page labeled “Email search”. Click the link and complete the form as described above.

I keep getting "no results found" with a form that reads "can't find the forklift you're looking for".

Try broadening your search by omitting some drop down menus. Example: leave out price, fuel, mast or location.

I entered the description of my forklift in the trade-in value email but never received any replies or received "no bid".

Eliftruck.com does not assign any trade-in values. Trade-in values are constantly changing and can vary dramatically from forklift to forklift. Prices can vary based on market conditions, overall condition, manufacturer, hours of use, location and many other factors. It is for this reason trade-in forklifts are emailed to dealers and wholesalers qualified to establish current prices rather than depend on a fixed calculator to determine a forklifts value.

What exactly does the forklift router do?

The forklift router is simply a marketing tool primarily for dealers and forklift resellers. It allows forklift resellers to broadcast market several forklifts at a time and route them to other forklift resellers that are interested in the brand unit.

I just joined the site and tried using my new password but it doesn't allow me to log in?

If you just joined the site, it may take up to 48 hrs for your passwords to be activated. (Eliftruck.com screens all potential members.) An email will be sent indicating your password has been activated. If you are not a forklift reseller and do not plan on submitting photos on eliftruck.com you will not receive a password.

I don't see the icon of the forklift I am looking for on the home page?

If the forklift you are looking for does not appear in the icons on the home page, you will need to go to the "advanced search". Once on the search page, select the drop down menu marked "choose a type". From that menu you will see several different types of forklifts, choose one and select search. If you are still unsure of the type you require, contact us at 800 867 3675 outside the U.S. 630 759 4799 or email sales@eliftruck.com.

Why are prices not listed on all the forklifts?

Some dealers choose not to list their prices on eliftruck.com for several reasons.

What is the best monitor setting for viewing eliftruck.com?

This is a great question. In the late 90's most monitor resolutions were set to 640x480 which made text & icons appear very large on your screen. This setting gives you less screen area and requires you to scroll web pages not only up & down but left to right as well. Today most monitors are usually set to 1024x768 or higher from the factory. This means text & icons appear smaller on your screen but it is less likely you will need to scroll web pages left to right or up & down. At this setting you can generally see a lot more of the web page you are looking at with a lot less scrolling. Eliftruck.com has been optimized for viewing at 1024x768 or higher.

How do I contact the seller to buy a forklift?

Easy, when you find the forklift you're looking for, click the picture and you can view all the contact information from that window.
