About New & Used Forklifts

Most customers find us for pallet racking and are surprised to learn we sell the trucks that work in it. Baltimore Pallet Rack supplies new and used forklifts across the full Baltimore, MD metro — Crown electric warehouse equipment, Clark counterbalanced lift trucks, and Bobcat industrial forklifts covering capacities from 3,000 to 40,000 pounds. We handle electric, LP/propane, and diesel power; cushion tire for smooth indoor slabs and pneumatic tire for yards, gravel, and dock aprons; and specialty configurations including reach trucks, order pickers, walkie pallet trucks, and narrow-aisle equipment. Because we also design and install the racking these trucks operate around, we spec lift equipment against your actual aisle widths, beam heights, and slab conditions rather than selling you a truck that will not fit the building. New equipment comes with full manufacturer warranty. Used and reconditioned inventory is inspected, serviced, and documented before it leaves our shop. Every truck is delivered to your Baltimore-area dock.

Crown SC electric counterbalanced forklift available in Baltimore, MD

Crown Forklifts — Electric & Warehouse Equipment

Crown builds the electric warehouse equipment that runs inside racking systems. Reach trucks, order pickers, turret trucks, and walkie pallet trucks engineered around operator ergonomics and long shift performance. If your operation is indoors, on a finished slab, and picking out of pallet rack, Crown is usually the first line we quote.

Used forklift for sale in Baltimore, MD — reconditioned lift trucks from all major brands

Used Forklifts — All Makes & Models

Our used inventory is not limited to the brands we carry new. We source and sell inspected, reconditioned lift trucks across essentially every major manufacturer — Cat, Hyster, Yale, Toyota, Doosan, Mitsubishi, Komatsu and Nissan alongside used Crown, Clark and Bobcat. If you are replacing one truck in a mixed fleet, we can usually match what your operators already run instead of forcing a new brand into the building.

• Reconditioned trucks from all major manufacturers, not only the lines we carry new
• Hour meter reading and available service history disclosed on every unit
• Inspected and serviced before delivery, with limited warranty on major components
• Typically around half the cost of a comparable new machine
• Match an existing mixed fleet rather than introducing another brand

Used Forklifts — Every Major Make

How Buying a Forklift From Us Works

The mechanics behind the system — and why they matter for your operation.

Tell Us the Application

Capacity you need to lift, maximum lift height, aisle width, indoor or outdoor, and how many hours a day the truck will run. Those five answers narrow the field faster than any spec sheet.

We Spec the Truck

We match power type, tire type, mast configuration, and attachments to your building. If you have racking from us, we already know your beam heights and aisle dimensions.

New and Used Options Quoted Side by Side

You see what a new unit costs against comparable reconditioned inventory, including hour meter readings and service history on the used machines, so the trade-off is yours to make.

Delivery to Your Dock

We deliver to your Baltimore-area facility and walk the truck over with your team — controls, capacity plate, daily inspection points, and charging or fueling requirements.

When a Used Forklift Makes Sense

• The truck will run under 4 hours a day — light duty rarely justifies new pricing
• You need a spare or backup unit to cover peak season or downtime
• Capital budget is tight and you want the lift capacity now, not next fiscal year
• The application is rough on equipment and a new machine would take cosmetic abuse
• You are testing whether a second shift or new line actually needs its own truck

When Not to Choose

• The truck runs multiple shifts daily — hour costs on used equipment add up fast
• You need the latest lithium-ion or emissions technology for a spec requirement
• Full manufacturer warranty coverage is required by your insurer or corporate policy
• The application is narrow-aisle or very-narrow-aisle, where newer guidance systems matter
• Downtime is expensive enough that unknown service history is an unacceptable risk

Forklift Applications Across the Baltimore Metro

Specific industries across Baltimore and Maryland where this system pays off.

Port of Baltimore & Tradepoint Atlantic

Container destuffing, breakbulk, and steel handling around Dundalk, Seagirt, Curtis Bay, Fairfield and Sparrows Point demand pneumatic-tire trucks that tolerate salt air, uneven dock aprons, and outdoor yard work. High-capacity Bobcat machines from 15,000 to 40,000 lb cover the heavy end.

I-95 & Route 100 Distribution Corridor

Fulfillment and 3PL operations in Jessup, Columbia, Elkridge, Hanover and Linthicum run high pallet volume through selective and pushback rack. Crown electric counterbalanced trucks and reach trucks fit the finished slabs and tight aisles typical of these newer buildings.

Hunt Valley Pharma & Biotech

Clean indoor environments with strict emissions and floor-marking requirements. Electric equipment is effectively mandatory here — no LP exhaust in controlled spaces — and Crown electric trucks with non-marking tires are the standard specification.

Baltimore County & Carroll County Manufacturing

Older mid-century industrial buildings around Rosedale, White Marsh, Westminster and Randallstown often have variable slab conditions and lower clear heights. Clark cushion-tire trucks with two-stage masts handle these buildings without over-speccing the equipment.

Lumber, Building Supply & Steel Service

Outdoor yard work on gravel and asphalt requires pneumatic tires and higher ground clearance. Bobcat pneumatic-tire trucks paired with cantilever racking give building supply operations in Bel Air, Aberdeen and Edgewood a complete outdoor storage and handling setup.

Cold Storage & Food Distribution

Freezer and cooler applications need cold-storage-rated equipment with condensation-resistant electronics and heated cabs on longer-duration work. We spec electric trucks rated for the temperature range your facility actually runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers for buyers researching new & used forklifts in the Baltimore metro area.

Do you sell forklifts in Baltimore, MD?

Yes. Baltimore Pallet Rack sells both new and used forklifts throughout the Baltimore metro area. We carry Crown, Clark and Bobcat lift trucks in capacities from 3,000 lb up to 40,000 lb, in electric, LP/propane and diesel power. Most customers know us for pallet racking, but forklift sales are a core part of what we do — call (240) 290-6544 for availability.

What forklift brands do you sell in Baltimore?

We sell Crown, Clark and Bobcat. Crown covers electric warehouse equipment including reach trucks, order pickers and walkie pallet trucks. Clark covers counterbalanced IC and electric lift trucks for general warehouse and manufacturing work. Bobcat covers industrial and heavy-duty pneumatic-tire machines up to 40,000 lb for yards, ports and rough-surface applications. On the used side we are not limited to those three — we sell reconditioned trucks from all major manufacturers including Cat, Hyster, Yale, Toyota, Doosan and Mitsubishi.

Do you sell used forklifts, and are they reliable?

Yes. Our used inventory is inspected, serviced and documented before sale, and we provide the hour meter reading and available service history on every unit so you know what you are buying. Reconditioned trucks typically cost around half of a comparable new machine and carry a limited warranty on major components. For most single-shift Baltimore warehouses, a reconditioned truck is the better value.

What size forklift do I need for my warehouse?

Five answers determine it: the heaviest load you lift, your maximum lift height, your narrowest aisle width, whether the truck works indoors or outdoors, and how many hours a day it runs. A typical Baltimore distribution warehouse runs a 5,000 lb capacity truck. Heavier manufacturing and port work often needs 8,000 lb to 15,000 lb or more. We will spec it against your building rather than guess.

Should I buy an electric or propane forklift?

Electric for indoor-only work, clean environments, and multi-shift operations where fuel cost matters — there are no emissions, noise is lower, and operating cost per hour is significantly less. Propane for mixed indoor/outdoor duty, faster refueling between shifts, and applications where charging infrastructure does not exist. Hunt Valley pharma and food-grade facilities are almost always electric. Yard and dock work is usually propane or diesel.

What is the difference between cushion tire and pneumatic tire forklifts?

Cushion tire trucks ride on solid rubber, sit lower to the ground, and turn in a tighter radius — they are built for smooth finished concrete indoors. Pneumatic tire trucks ride on air-filled or solid pneumatic tires with deeper tread and more ground clearance, so they handle gravel, asphalt, uneven dock aprons and outdoor yards. Port-adjacent and lumber yard operations around Baltimore almost always need pneumatic.

How much does a forklift cost in Baltimore?

Price depends on capacity, power type, mast configuration, attachments, and whether the truck is new or used. A reconditioned unit generally runs about half the cost of a comparable new machine. Rather than quote a range that will not match your application, we quote new and used options side by side for the exact truck you need. Call (240) 290-6544 or request a quote and we will price it against your specs.

Can you deliver a forklift to my facility?

Yes. We deliver to facilities throughout Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel, Howard, Harford and Carroll counties. Delivery includes a walkthrough with your team covering controls, the capacity data plate, OSHA daily inspection points, and charging or fueling requirements.

Can I buy forklifts and pallet racking together?

Yes, and it is the main reason customers come to us for both. When one provider designs the racking and specs the lift equipment, the aisle widths, beam heights and truck turning radius get coordinated up front. That avoids the common and expensive problem of installing a rack layout your existing forklift physically cannot work in.

Will a forklift fit in my existing racking aisles?

It depends on the truck's right-angle stacking aisle requirement versus your actual clear aisle width. A standard counterbalanced truck typically needs 11 to 13 feet. Reach trucks work in 8 to 10 feet, and very-narrow-aisle equipment operates in 6 feet or less with guidance. We measure your aisles before quoting so the truck we sell you actually works in the building you have.
