MEET THE OWNER
About Ralph
Ralph Fernandez has spent over 20 years in the material handling business. Since 2015 he has run Orlando Forklifts as a family business out of Apopka, just north of Orlando — and he still hand-picks every machine that comes onto the lot.
You get Ralph, not a call centre
When you call Orlando Forklifts, you reach the owner. There is no rotating sales team and no corporate runaround. If something is wrong with a machine after you buy it, you call the same person who sold it to you.
Every lift is checked before it reaches the yard
Used equipment is only a bargain if it runs. Before a forklift is listed for sale, it goes through our in-house shop:
- A full mechanical inspection by our own mechanics
- Service and repairs completed before the machine is listed
- A load test to confirm the rated capacity
- Hours, fuel type and condition disclosed up front
- A 30-day personal warranty on every machine we sell
Serving Orlando and Central Florida
Our yard is at 1406 S Lake Pleasant Rd, Apopka, FL 32703. Customers come to us from across Central Florida — Orlando, Winter Garden, Sanford, Kissimmee and the surrounding counties. You are welcome to come look a machine over in person and run it before you decide.
Ask a question before you buy
If you are not sure what capacity or fuel type you need, call and describe the work. It is a short conversation and it saves people from buying the wrong lift.
