Put your dormant stock back to work. A forklift service team must have the part straight away: one truck down can hold up a whole warehouse. So handling equipment workshops keep plenty of parts just in case, and some of them never leave the shelf. With HOTIPARTS, your parts regain their value: we show them to other workshops and fleet operators, without your name and, if you wish, without a displayed price.
How dead stock builds up
- A maintenance contract ends. You serviced a customer's fleet. They switch provider or brand, and the parts held for their trucks stay with you.
- The rental fleet is renewed. Rental forklifts are replaced after a few years. Your workshop no longer needs the parts for the old models.
- A new generation arrives. Control boards, drive controllers, displays and electric motors change with each generation. The old versions stay on the shelf.
- A company replaces its fleet. A logistics or manufacturing firm with its own workshop sells its old trucks but keeps the spare parts.
- Wrong orders and returns. The wrong roller or seal version, a part ordered for a breakdown that was fixed another way.
These parts tie up capital and space, and their value falls every year.
Who is looking for these parts
A well-maintained forklift works for 15 or 20 years, often for a second or third owner. These machines need parts the manufacturer's network no longer stocks: mast rollers and lift chains, cylinders, hydraulic pumps, brakes, steering parts, control boards, contactors, solid tyres.
On HOTIPARTS, buyers search by part number: independent forklift workshops, used forklift dealers refurbishing machines, and companies that maintain their own trucks, in Europe, the United States and Brazil. All brands are welcome, for example Linde, Jungheinrich, Still, Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown or Clark.
Discreet until you agree
- your name is never shown: the buyer sees "Supplier A", the country and the "Verified company" badge;
- by default, no price is published: you give it in your answer, or show it only to logged-in members;
- your contact details are only shared if you accept the connection, and only the ones you choose.
