Baltimore Forklift Sales & Service

Baltimore Forklifts sells Crown, Clark, Bobcat and Combilift forklifts new. We also sell quality-inspected used trucks from all major makes, including Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Cat, Mitsubishi and Doosan. Because we carry several brands, we recommend what fits your job, not one maker's catalog. Tell us the load, aisle width, lift height, floor and duty cycle. We will tell you which truck fits.

Yes. We offer daily, weekly, monthly and longer-term forklift rentals across the Baltimore area. Renting is often the smarter choice. It works well for seasonal peaks, a project with a set end date, covering a truck that is down, or trying a truck class before you buy. We will also tell you when buying makes more sense. Past a certain rental length, it usually does.

Choosing new or used depends more on hours and duty cycle than on budget. A quality used truck costs much less than the same truck new. It suits moderate-duty work well. Round-the-clock work, or a job where downtime is costly, usually calls for a new truck with a full warranty. We quote both for the same job, so you can compare them side by side.

Yes. Our technicians service all major makes, not only the brands we sell new. We handle planned maintenance agreements and on-site repairs across the Baltimore area. Most operations run mixed fleets after a few years of buying. For them, one service partner for every make is usually worth more than a slightly cheaper rate on one brand.

Yes. We provide OSHA operator training and evaluation on site, on your trucks, in your building. OSHA's forklift standard (29 CFR 1910.178) is enforced in Maryland by MOSH, Maryland Occupational Safety and Health, for most private employers plus state and local government. Private maritime work, such as port and marine terminals, falls under federal OSHA (29 CFR 1917). The standard requires operators to be trained and evaluated before they drive a powered industrial truck. They must be evaluated at least every three years. Refresher training is needed sooner after unsafe operation, an accident or near miss, a failed evaluation, a change of truck type or a change in workplace conditions. Training in your building matters, because the evaluation must reflect your real workplace.
