The line
Why we quote Toyota
If you are buying one used forklift and you do not have a strong reason to prefer another make, Toyota is usually the right default. It holds value better than anything else on the market — commonly more than 60 percent of original MSRP after five years — which cuts both ways: you pay more up front for a used Toyota than for a comparable Hyster or Komatsu, and you get more back when you sell it. For an operation that turns equipment every few years, that resale floor is worth real money.
The practical argument is parts. Toyota is the most common forklift in North American warehouses, which means parts availability is excellent and independent service knowledge is everywhere. In a the Dulles corridor market where a lot of buyers run mixed fleets picked up one truck at a time, that matters more than a spec-sheet advantage — a machine you can get parts for on Tuesday beats a slightly better machine you wait a week on.
Toyota also introduced the System of Active Stability, which cuts engine power and locks the rear axle when it senses the truck approaching a tip condition. On a used truck this is worth verifying rather than assuming, because it appears on most but not all models and years. We confirm it is present and functional on any Toyota we recondition, and we tell you when a machine does not have it.

Before you buy
Buying Toyota used: what to check
These separate a good used truck from an expensive one, and all of them are checkable before you commit.
Expect to pay more, and get more back
Used Toyotas carry a price premium over comparable makes. That is not a markup — it is the resale market pricing in reliability and parts support. If you plan to sell the truck on, the premium usually returns.
Verify System of Active Stability
SAS is present on most Toyota models but not all years and configurations. It is worth confirming rather than assuming, and we tell you either way on any unit we sell.
Hour meter honesty
Toyota trucks routinely run past 10,000 hours in good health, so a high meter is not automatically a problem. We look at mast chain stretch, deck and mast wear and service history before we judge a machine by its hours.
Check the mast for the building
A Toyota spec'd for a modern distribution center may have a three-stage mast that will not clear an older Pulaski Highway building. We measure your clear height before quoting rather than after delivery.
Questions
Toyota questions
1 Where can I buy a used Toyota forklift in the Dulles corridor?
Dulles Forklifts sources and sells reconditioned Toyota forklifts throughout the Dulles corridor, including Sterling, Ashburn, Chantilly, Manassas, Gainesville and Leesburg. We do not carry Toyota new, but our used inventory covers every major manufacturer. Call (703) 000-0000 for what is currently available.
2 Are used Toyota forklifts worth the higher price?
Usually, yes. Toyota retains value better than any other make — commonly more than 60 percent of MSRP after five years — so the premium you pay buying used is largely returned when you sell. Parts availability and independent service knowledge are also the best in the industry, which matters more in day-to-day operation than most spec-sheet differences.
3 How many hours is too many on a used Toyota forklift?
There is no single number, and hours alone are a poor guide. Toyota trucks routinely run well past 10,000 hours when they have been maintained and worked on decent floors. A 5,000-hour machine from a dirty operation on a broken slab can be in worse condition than a 10,000-hour truck from a clean distribution building. We judge on mast chain stretch, mast and deck wear, and service history.
4 Do you sell used Toyota forklifts with a warranty?
Reconditioned units are inspected and serviced before delivery and carry a limited warranty on major components. We disclose the hour meter reading and any available service history on every truck we sell, whatever the make.
