Our story

Alliance's Baltimore-Area Forklift Team

Baltimore Forklifts is the Baltimore-area forklift team of Alliance Material Handling. Alliance has sold, rented and serviced lift trucks in the region since 1955, more than 70 years. Our headquarters is in Jessup, between Baltimore and Columbia. We cover Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard, Harford and Carroll counties. We offer new and used forklifts, rentals, service on all makes and OSHA operator training.

We sell Crown, Clark, Bobcat and Combilift forklifts new. We also sell quality-inspected used trucks from every major make, including Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Cat, Mitsubishi and Doosan. Carrying more than one brand matters. A dealer with one brand recommends that brand for every job. We look at your load, aisle width, floor, duty cycle and power needs. Then we tell you which truck fits, even when it is not the one we would most like to sell.

Central Maryland needs a wide range of equipment. Port and marine terminal work around the harbor needs tough outdoor trucks. Distribution buildings near BWI and along I-95 run reach trucks and order pickers at height. Older brick plants and warehouses in the city often have low ceilings and tight aisles. Farther out, Harford and Carroll counties mix new distribution centers with yards and outdoor work. One truck cannot do all of that. So we ask about the job before we quote from a spec sheet.

Our mission

Safe, Efficient & Affordable

Our mission is to put the right lift truck in the right building at a fair price. We keep it running with local service. And we give straight answers about what your operation needs, not what is easiest to sell.

What we stand for

Our Core Values

Safety First

We build our sales, rental and service work around OSHA 1910.178 and ANSI/ITSDF B56.1. We never cut corners on safety.

Local Expertise

We know the buildings, floors and duty cycles across the Baltimore area. That runs from port-area yards and older city plants to new distribution buildings near BWI.

Honest Value

We give clear pricing. Our advice is based on what you need, not on what earns us the most.

Responsiveness

We answer our phones and get back to you. When a truck is down, we come to your building to fix it.
