Forklifts — New & Used supplied and installed across Delaware. Free, no-obligation quotes.
// Overview
Delaware Pallet Racking — a division of Alliance Material Handling — sells new and used forklifts to warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturers across Delaware. We are a factory dealer for Bobcat and Clark lift trucks and carry a rotating inventory of quality-inspected used lifts from all major brands. Whether you need a single 3,000 lb electric walkie for a tight cold-storage aisle or a 40,000 lb pneumatic-tire diesel for the Port of Wilmington container yard, we spec the truck to your load, aisle width, floor, and duty cycle — then deliver, service, and support it locally. Buying racking and a lift together from one Delaware team means one point of contact, one delivery, and a system designed to work as a whole.
// What you get
// Spec sheet
We look at your loads, aisle widths, lift heights, floor condition, shifts per day, and environment (dry, cold, wash-down, hazardous) to shortlist the right class of truck.
For single-shift, lighter-duty work a quality-inspected used Bobcat or Clark often makes sense; for heavy multi-shift duty we spec new with a warranty and planned-maintenance plan.
We deliver anywhere in Delaware, orient your operators, and set you up with local parts, service, and OSHA-required operator training from the same team.
// Fit check
// Where we install it
High-capacity pneumatic-tire IC lifts for container destuffing, lumber, and heavy palletized freight on outdoor and dock surfaces.

Versatile cushion and pneumatic lifts sized for mixed-duty distribution and light manufacturing operations.
// Straight answers
Yes. Delaware Pallet Racking, a division of Alliance Material Handling, sells both new Bobcat and Clark forklifts and quality-inspected used lift trucks from all major brands, statewide — Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties. Every used lift is inspected before sale. Call (302) 512-4780.
A quality used 5,000 lb warehouse forklift typically runs $12,000–$22,000, while a comparable new Bobcat or Clark lift runs $28,000–$45,000+ depending on power, tires, and mast. Heavy-capacity and specialty lifts cost more. Delaware’s 0% sales tax lowers your total versus neighboring states. We quote firm pricing after a short application review.
Used makes sense for single-shift, lighter-duty operations and saves 40–60% up front. Buy new for heavy multi-shift duty, specialty needs, or when uptime is critical and you want a full warranty and planned maintenance. Delaware Pallet Racking stocks both and will give you an honest recommendation based on your hours and duty cycle.
Yes. Our Delaware service technicians provide planned maintenance, emergency repair, and OSHA operator training, and carry common Bobcat, Clark, and all-brand parts. For production-impacting breakdowns we can usually dispatch within four hours across Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and surrounding areas. See our Forklift Service & Repair page for details.
It depends on your heaviest load, your narrowest aisle, your lift height, your floor and environment, and how many shifts you run. Electric cushion-tire lifts suit smooth indoor slabs and tight aisles; pneumatic IC lifts handle docks, yards, and rough surfaces. We assess all of that on a short site visit before recommending a truck.
