A 13,500 lb forklift is a heavy-capacity industrial lift truck rated for 13,500 pounds at a 24-inch load center, used for large steel, concrete, and machinery loads beyond the six-ton class. Accurate Forklift stocks inspected used 13,500 lb forklifts from East Point, serving the Atlanta metro.
A 13,500 lb forklift handles loads in the upper heavy-capacity range, between six and seven tons. Current 13,500 lb units are below. This is a specialized size — call 770-692-1455 and ask for sales for specific configurations or off-lease units.
Thirteen thousand five hundred pounds serves heavy fabrication, large precast concrete handling, machinery and equipment moving, and oversized industrial freight. This in-between rating often exists to match specific load weights that fall just above standard six-ton trucks, giving operations an exact-fit machine rather than over- or under-buying. Expect diesel power, pneumatic tires, and a heavy counterweight build.

A specific rating like 13,500 lb usually means the buyer has an equally specific load in mind — which makes accurate spec’ing essential. The rated capacity assumes standard conditions; your actual load center, the height you lift to, and any attachment all change the usable figure. Tell us the precise weight and dimensions you handle and we’ll confirm a unit that meets them with appropriate margin. Each used 13,500 lb forklift is inspected, with hours and service records available.
Heavy fabrication, large concrete and steel products, and machinery handling — loads that fall just above the six-ton class and need an exact-capacity match.
When your specific loads sit between six and seven tons, a 13,500 lb truck matches them precisely without forcing you up to a much larger machine.
