Buying a forklift isn’t something you do on a whim.
You don’t wake up one morning and go, “You know what I need today? A six-tonne lifting machine with a side shift attachment and puncture-proof tyres.”
It usually happens when something’s gone wrong.
The old one’s starting to cough and splutter. Productivity’s slowing down. Or maybe your team’s growing, and the single machine you’ve been getting by with just isn’t cutting it anymore.
So what do you do?
You look for the best place to buy a forklift. You jump online… and suddenly you’re staring down dozens of options from companies that all sound the same.
Same stock photos. Same “We’ve got the best range!” promise. Same call-to-action slapped at the bottom.
But here’s the thing:
Not all forklift dealers are created equal.
Some will happily sell you the wrong model just to make the sale. Others will vanish the second you sign the dotted line.
And then there are a few—very few—that’ll actually guide you toward the right forklift for the job… and have your back long after the sale.
That’s where Eagle Forklifts comes in.
Here are 5 short-but-true reasons we’re the real deal—and why so many businesses keep coming back.
1. We Know Forklifts Inside Out—And We’ll Help You Choose the Right One
When you talk to us, you’re not getting a generic sales pitch.
You’re getting someone who’s worked with forklifts day in, day out. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and we know what makes a machine a good fit—not just on paper, but in the real world.
We ask the right questions. Like:
- What kind of terrain are you operating on?
- Are you working indoors or out?
- How heavy are your loads?
- How often do you need to use it?
We help businesses choose between diesel, electric, LPG, and rough terrain models based on actual needs—not what’s sitting on the lot.
Whether you’re moving stock in a warehouse, running a busy construction site, or handling hay bales on a farm, we’ll point you toward the right machine.
It’s not about upselling. It’s about setting you up with a forklift that works hard, lasts long, and doesn’t give you grief.
2. Our Range Is Huge (And We Actually Know What We’re Talking About)
Let’s be honest—anyone can slap up a bunch of forklift photos on a website.
But not everyone actually stocks them. Or knows what each machine is best suited for.
We do.
We’re an authorised dealer of Hangcha forklifts—some of the most durable and affordable machines in the market.
We stock a full range of new forklifts, from 1.5 tonne electrics to 7 tonne diesel beasts.
Plus, we’ve got a solid selection of used forklifts for sale, all inspected and serviced by our in-house team.
We also offer attachments like side shifts, tyne positioners, and custom tyres—so if your job needs something specific, we can sort it out.
3. We Don’t Disappear After the Sale
Buying a forklift isn’t like buying a fridge.
You’re going to need servicing. Maintenance. Maybe even emergency repairs when something goes wrong at the worst possible time.
We’re not one of those dealers that forgets your name after the invoice clears.
Our team’s based in Brisbane, and we support customers across Southeast Queensland—from the city to the Gold Coast, Ipswich, and even out to the farming and mining regions.
We offer same-day forklift servicing and repairs. We’ve got preventative maintenance plans to keep your machine in top shape.
And when parts need replacing, we use genuine parts so nothing gets bodged.
When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a forklift. You’re getting support that actually shows up.
4. We’ve Got Flexible Hire Options Too
Not every business is ready to buy outright. And sometimes, you only need an extra forklift for a short period—during peak season, a big job, or while your main machine’s out for repairs.
That’s where our forklift hire options come in.
We’ve got short-term and long-term rental plans to suit your needs, with machines ready to go. Electric, LPG, diesel—you name it.
All our forklifts for hire are regularly serviced, safety checked, and delivered clean and ready to work.
We even deliver to site and pick up when you’re done, so there’s no mucking around.
Whether you’re a growing business testing the waters or an established company needing backup, our hire fleet gives you breathing room—without the full upfront cost.
5. We’re Backed by Local Knowledge—with Dealers Australia Wide
We might be based in Southeast QLD—but our reach goes far beyond that.
Eagle Forklifts has trusted dealers across Australia, ready to help you wherever you’re located.
So whether you’re running a warehouse in Brisbane, a farm in Toowoomba, or a mining site in WA—you’re never too far from expert support.
But here’s what sets us apart: even though we’ve grown, we’ve never lost the local touch.
When you call us, you speak to real people who know forklifts and care about your business.
When you visit or work with one of our dealers, you’re not just getting handed a product—you’re getting honest advice, reliable support, and a genuine commitment to helping you get the right machine for the job.
That’s what’s kept our customers coming back for decades. And it’s exactly what you can expect when you choose Eagle Forklifts.
