The key to our success?
Continuous development instead of stagnation.

In recent years, we have grown beyond forklifts without losing sight of our focus. We have continuously expanded into other categories such as work platforms, cleaning machines, attachments, batteries, chargers and spare parts. In 2028 we welcomed OC-Karat the leading provider of warehouse management systems in the materials handling sector, into the fold. Armed with this knowledge, we offer more than just machines – we provide a digital sales boost for your business.

Who we are

The journey from a passion for sales to the creation of the largest online marketplace for forklifts.

So, how did it all begin? It’s quite simple, really. It started with Hubert Mühldorfer and his passion for sales, which has driven him since 1989. The entrepreneur learned his trade from the ground up. He started out as a forklift salesman, then became a sales manager, and finally founded Motus Online Service GmbH with Forklift International, in 1998. This is now Europe’s largest online marketplace for new and used forklifts. For over thirty years, he has been training dealers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol almost daily with the System Mühldorfer.

Christoph Schmid and Oliver Regensdorfer have been the managing directors since 2017 of Motus Online Service GmbH and Forklift International and WildMachinery, the expert marketplace for buying and selling used construction machinery, which was launched in 2020. Based in Regensburg, they and their team provide support to dealers, importers, manufacturers and end customers worldwide.

We know what matters, and we'll get you exactly where you want to go!

Customer feedback: Your opinion matters!

We use Forklift International to offer new and used material handling equipment and to purchase second-hand machines. The platform is user-friendly, provides excellent visibility, and helps us connect with customers and suppliers worldwide. The support team is always professional and responsive. A true recommendation for the industry!

I have worked in the forklift industry for over 30 years. I am known to a lot of industry portals. I consider Poftal Forklift.de to be the most professional and I always use it, (especially for dealers). In addition to its usefulness, its strong point is the service and the assistance of the support person Ms Jolanta Pawnuk. She is always available and helps to solve problems quickly.
