Cat Forklifts in the Baltimore Metro
The point most buyers miss about Cat forklifts is that Cat and Mitsubishi lift trucks come from the same organisation. They share engineering, componentry and a service network, which means the parts picture for a used Cat is considerably better than the relatively low number of Cat machines in any given market would suggest. If you have avoided Cat on the used market because you assumed parts would be awkward, that assumption is worth revisiting.
Cat trucks carry strong resale value — not at Toyota levels, but well above the middle of the market — and the internal-combustion lineup in particular has a good reputation for durability in demanding conditions. That makes them a sensible fit for the mixed indoor and outdoor work common around Glen Burnie and northern Anne Arundel County, where a single truck has to handle a warehouse aisle and a gravel yard in the same shift.
Supply is the honest constraint. There are simply fewer Cat forklifts in circulation around Baltimore than Hyster or Toyota, so availability in any given capacity and configuration is less predictable. When a good one comes through we will tell you; when it does not, we will say so rather than pushing a machine that does not fit the requirement.

Buying a Used Cat — What We Check
The things that decide whether a reconditioned Cat is a good buy or an expensive one.
Parts are easier than you think
Cat and Mitsubishi lift trucks share an organisation, engineering and components. The parts picture is much better than the number of Cat machines in circulation would suggest.
Supply is genuinely limited
There are fewer used Cat forklifts around Baltimore than Hyster or Toyota. We will tell you honestly when we do not have one that fits rather than steering you to a machine that does not suit the job.
Check the tire type against the job
A cushion-tire Cat is a poor buy for anyone with yard work, however good the price. If any part of the job is on gravel or broken asphalt, hold out for pneumatic.
Engine hours vs lift hours
On IC trucks these diverge — a machine idling at a dock accumulates engine hours without doing much work. We read both meters where the truck reports them.
Used Forklifts by Area
Our reconditioned inventory covers every major manufacturer, not only the lines we sell new. Hour meter readings and available service history are disclosed on every unit.

We Design the Racking These Trucks Work In
Aisle width, beam height and truck turning radius all have to agree. Because we do both, we spec the truck against the rack rather than discovering the conflict after delivery.
