About Forklifts from MCM Group+

Forklifts for sale in South Africa

MCM Group stocks 24 forklift models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every forklift we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.

Forklifts are used for lifting and moving palletised loads in warehouses, yards and on construction or farming sites. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.

How to choose the right forklift

Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the forklift between sites affects which size class makes sense.

Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a forklift with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.

Forklift price and finance

Pricing for forklifts at MCM Group starts from R 229 075 excl. VAT, with the final figure depending on configuration, attachments and any current specials. Request a quote on any model for an up-to-date, all-in price including VAT and delivery to your area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Forklifts

What types of forklifts does MCM sell?
MCM Group supplies diesel forklifts, electric forklifts, and rough terrain forklifts. Diesel models are ideal for outdoor and heavy-duty use, electric models suit indoor warehousing, and rough terrain forklifts handle uneven ground on construction sites and farms.
What is a rough terrain forklift?
A rough terrain forklift is designed with large tyres, higher ground clearance, and 4WD capability to operate on uneven, unpaved, or muddy surfaces. They are commonly used on construction sites, farms, and in forestry operations across South Africa.
How much weight can a forklift lift?
MCM forklifts range from 2.5-tonne to 16-tonne lifting capacity depending on the model. The right capacity depends on the weight of the materials you need to move and the lift height required.
Does MCM offer forklift servicing and parts?
Yes, MCM Group provides spare parts, technical support, and after-sales service for all forklift models sold. Our national parts division can be reached at parts@mcmco.co.za or +27 65 877 1767.

Forklift selection in South Africa must account for the operating environment, the load type and the floor surface. Electric forklifts dominate in food, pharmaceutical, retail distribution and cold storage environments where emissions and noise control are mandatory. Diesel forklifts are the standard choice for outdoor yards, construction and industrial operations where heavier loads, higher travel speeds and longer shifts are required. Rough terrain forklifts — with pneumatic tyres and four-wheel drive — handle unpaved, muddy or sandy surfaces that defeat standard forklifts.

Lift capacity at load centre is the correct way to specify a forklift — not just the headline capacity. A 3-tonne forklift at 500 mm load centre can only lift 2.5 tonnes at 600 mm load centre because the load moment arm increases. Always specify the actual load dimensions and weight when selecting a forklift to ensure the machine is correctly rated for your application.

MCM Group supplies diesel, electric and rough terrain forklifts with full local warranty, parts supply and after-sales service from branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein. Finance options including operating lease and instalment sale are available through MCM Group's approved partners.
