Used RICO Lifts From Chicago Industrial Equipment

RICO has been manufacturing reliable forklifts and related equipment since 1984. The company is known for its heavy-duty specialty models. Several product lines offer the ability to handle material loads between 1,000 and 400,000 pounds, while maintaining safe operating conditions and productivity you can count on. RICO is unique among forklift companies in that it performs almost all its manufacturing in-house. As a result, it has one of the highest standards for quality control in the industry — an especially important consideration when buying used.

Choose RICO forklifts for demanding applications such as industrial, commercial, automotive and military material handling. In addition to standard forklifts, the company manufactures explosion-proof, counterbalanced, reach and straddle, and other specialty machines, many of which are routinely available on the used market.

At Chicago Industrial Equipment, we’re highly selective in the products we sell. Our used inventory is inspected and tested by experienced technicians to ensure all items meet our standards for performance and reliability. We understand there is always an element of risk to buying used — our goal is to make the process as transparent and worry-free as possible.

Working with a used RICO dealer like us, you’ll find a dedicated, knowledgeable partner for all your material handling needs. We routinely have used RICO lift trucks available for sale, and provide ongoing support for all purchases.

 

Why Choose Used RICO Forklifts?

As noted above, RICO’s high quality control and diverse product line make it an ideal choice for many industries. With an emphasis on productivity, profitability and safety, the company designs application-specific equipment with modular components you can upgrade or swap out as the need arises. As a result, while RICO lifts are highly customized, any used machine can serve as a platform for further modification.

Some of RICO’s core product lines include:

  • Pegasus: RICO offers the Pegasus series of counterbalanced lift trucks in electric, LP and diesel configurations, with capacities up to 100,000 pounds. Pegasus lift trucks feature heavy-duty planetary drive axles and solid forged forks, one-click adjustment for key controls and settings, and an ergonomically designed cab that offers excellent visibility. All major components can be accessed easily, which simplifies maintenance and keeps downtime to a minimum when service is required.
  • QDC: RICO engineered the QDC (quick die change) series of trucks to be the most efficient way of handling dies and molds in manufacturing facilities. In addition to their heavy-duty lifting capacity, QDC trucks feature a low-profile design and tight turning radius for optimal maneuverability in confined spaces. RICO offers both internal combustion and electric versions, in walk-behind and stand-up configurations.
  • EX: Built for the most demanding applications, RICO EX explosion-proof lift trucks meet UL 583 specifications for fire, shock and explosion resistance, as well as NFPA 505 safety standards. The EX product line contains a range of models, including pallet and counterbalanced trucks, as well as straddle, reach and platform tractors, with lift capacities up to 16,000 pounds.

We frequently have low-hour, well-maintained used RICO trucks from the above product lines available for sale. Check out our inventory online.
