The 8FG18 is Toyota's compact petrol/LPG counterbalance forklift — the default workhorse for small warehouses, wholesalers and workshops, with used stock concentrated along the eastern seaboard and in South Australia. Most examples come off dealer yards or fleet churn rather than private sale, and the model changed little over its run, so condition and hours matter far more than build date. Container-entry masts and two-stage clear-view masts both appear regularly, often with sideshift fitted; solid tyres are typical on units that have lived indoors. Supply is steady rather than deep, and asking prices spread widely — late-model, low-hour units with tidy service history command a clear premium over tired high-hour stock. Buyers should sanity-check the hour meter, inspect mast chains and rollers, and confirm the LPG system's compliance before committing.

What Moves the Price
Mast & side-shift
A container mast with side-shift is what most buyers actually need. Plain two-stage masts without it sit at the bottom of the range.
Low hours for age
Forklifts live on the hour meter, not the calendar. A low-hour unit from light warehouse duty out-prices the same year worked hard on a yard.
LPG vs diesel vs electric
Indoor buyers want electric or LPG, yard buyers want diesel. A machine on the wrong side of that split waits longer and sells cheaper.
Tyres, forks & battery
Solid tyres worn to the line, heeled forks, and on electrics a tired battery are all quoted straight off the price — a battery alone can be a major cost.
