If you have a growing material handling operation and are in need of replacement parts, minor items such as casters, hoists, jacks and other equipment, you could save a great deal of money purchasing these items on eBay. Believe it or not, there is an expanding market for material handling accessories on eBay. One search turned up 122 results for "forklift parts and accessories". Another search yielded 160 results for "carts and trucks" and 90 for "hoists".

Many of these are listed under "eBay Express" or are "Buy It Now" items, so bidding in the traditional manner is unnecessary. When shopping online, be sure to compare the prices you find at eBay and other retailers with the current catalogs you are using to make your purchasing decisions. Also, a quick phone call to a trusted vendor could get you an additional discount if you mention a competitive price found through your online shopping experiences. It never hurts to play eBay off your existing suppliers.
