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

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 highly profitable and well-respected operation within the materials handling sector. 

The business currently operates with two experienced full-time technicians, alongside the owner, who also works 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 flowy, 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 $2.05 million in fully owned forklifts and spare parts stock, offering excellent value and minimal upfront capital expenditure for incoming owners.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $600k+ and PEBITDA of $900k+
• $2.05M in fully owned forklifts and spare parts stock included
• Recurring income through long-term hire agreements
• Flowy, streamlined operational systems and digital job tracking
• Strong industry reputation and long-standing client base
• Two experienced mechanics to remain in the business post-sale
• Strong referral-based sales with minimal marketing spend
• Excellent supplier relationships, including international import channels
• Flexible premises options – property available for purchase or relocation

Business offered as a going concern. Handover support and training included for up to 1 month. The owners will exit the business, so skilled new operators will need to replace the current management. One owner is available to support import logistics post-sale.

This opportunity suits either a pair of mechanically skilled professionals – such as technicians or engineers – looking to operate their own business, or an established forklift company ready to expand into Brisbane’s northern industrial corridor. All key systems are in place, and the operation is primed for scale or continued stability.

Asking Price: $2,500,000, including all forklifts, spare parts stock, and goodwill. Optional property available for $4,500,000
