Forklifts in Baltimore, MD

Baltimore City forklift work splits two ways: old brick buildings in the city's industrial blocks, and port yards that move cargo off ships. Baltimore Forklifts covers both from Alliance Material Handling's base in Jessup, just south of the city. Baltimore is an independent city, so it is not part of any county. It counted 585,708 people in the 2020 census. I-95, I-895, I-83 and I-395 all run through it, and the Beltway (I-695) crosses its southern edge at Curtis Bay. The Port of Baltimore's public terminals line the harbor at Locust Point, Fairfield and Seagirt, with Dundalk Marine Terminal on the county line. Fleets here move containers, autos, paper, lumber, steel and the goods made in city plants.

From brick factory blocks near the harbor to the port terminals and Holabird warehouses, fleets follow the building stock. One side is brick mill and factory buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s, often multi-story, with freight elevators and low ceilings. The other side is single-story warehouses and port-side buildings with dock doors and open yards. Which one you occupy decides mast height, tire type and battery chemistry.
