Stretch Your Budget, Maximize Your Performance
When your warehouse faces tight budgets, growing order volumes and the pressure to perform with fewer resources, choosing a quality used forklift makes smart financial and operational sense.
At Raymond Storage Concepts (RSC), we don’t just sell used equipment; we offer Renewed—our carefully selected and thoroughly inspected inventory of Raymond forklifts and more that works properly from day one, with no surprises. Our team understands the importance of matching equipment to your specific operational needs and financial considerations.
Used Forklifts Cost Less & Do More
-
Ready Availability
When your operation needs equipment, our used forklifts are here for you. Unlike new models that often face lengthy production backlogs and shipping delays, many of our used forklifts can be delivered on a more responsive timeline. This helps your team minimize downtime and maintain productivity, even when facing unexpected equipment failures. -
Stretch Your Budget Further
A quality Renewed truck costs substantially less than a new one, allowing you to stretch your equipment budget further. This price difference gives you options: acquire additional units to expand your fleet, invest savings in other operational improvements or lower upfront costs while keeping productivity high.
Need temporary equipment instead? Our forklift rentals give you the flexibility to handle seasonal demands without the long-term commitment.
Matching Used Equipment to Your Warehouse Needs
Finding a used forklift and other material handling equipment that actually works for your operation means looking at what matters in your daily work. Our team at RSC helps you cut through the options to get equipment that solves your specific challenges:



Our 22-Point Safety & Equipment Inspection
Our experienced technicians thoroughly evaluate every forklift, knowing exactly what to inspect, how to test critical systems, and what components may need immediate replacement, rather than relying solely on potentially incomplete service records. This hands-on equipment assessment ensures you receive a machine that’s ready and safe for your operation by focusing on these areas:
-
Basic Functionality & Core Components
We dig deep into the heart of the machine, checking essential systems like the drive units, motors and hydraulic pumps for leaks, wear and proper operation. We make sure electrical connections are solid, and the controller is working properly. Basically, if it helps the forklift move or power up, we’re inspecting it. -
Lifting Component Testing
From forks to hydraulics, every load-handling part gets put to the test. Our team inspects forks for wear patterns, examines chains for proper tension, pressure-tests hydraulic systems (including hoses and valves) and confirms stability under typical load conditions. We also carefully inspect the mast assemblies and carriage to ensure smooth, strong lifting every time. -
Operator Protection & Control Features
The operator’s safety depends on properly functioning protection systems. We examine overhead guards for structural integrity, test all control response times, verify warning systems work as designed and confirm clear sightlines from the operator’s position. We also ensure brakes and steering are responsive and reliable.

What to Consider When Choosing a Renewed Forklift
Choosing a Renewed forklift isn’t just about getting a great deal; it’s about finding the right truck for your unique warehouse and workflow. To make sure you pick the best fit, here are some important things to think about:
Electric Forklifts vs. LP Gas Power Systems
-
Electric Lift Trucks
- Zero emissions, ideal for indoor environments and industries with strict air quality requirements.
- Operate quietly, reducing noise pollution in warehouses.
- Feature fewer moving parts than combustion models, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
- Higher initial investment but typically lower total cost of ownership.
- Cost differences are usually recovered within two years through reduced fuel and maintenance expenses.
-
LP Gas Forklifts
- Excel when operations need flexibility between indoor and outdoor environments.
- Handle challenging terrain better than most electric models.
- Maintain consistent performance without battery charging interruptions.
- Quick refueling for multi-shift operations, with tanks swapped in minutes compared to longer charging cycles.
-
Lifting Capacity That Matches Your Loads
How tall your racks stand determines what lift height you need. Before choosing a lift truck, consider how high your current storage racks extend, whether you might add more rack levels later, any ceiling obstructions that limit reach and door heights your forklifts need to clear. -
Reaching Your Highest Rack Levels
Standard forklifts work for typical pallet loads around distribution centers, while heavier-duty models handle manufacturing materials. For warehouses with tight spaces, narrow aisle forklifts give you storage density without sacrificing lifting power.
