// Overview
New Forklifts in Delaware
Delaware Pallet Racking — a division of Alliance Material Handling — is a factory dealer for Bobcat and Clark lift trucks, selling new forklifts to warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturers across Delaware. 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 new means a full factory warranty, the exact configuration you specify rather than whatever came through inspection, and a planned-maintenance plan from the same team that installs your racking.
- One Delaware team for racking and the lift that works it
- Specify the exact configuration rather than taking what inventory offers
- Local parts and service techs — usually on site within four hours
- No Delaware sales tax stretches every equipment dollar further

Application Review
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.
Spec & Quote
We configure mast, tires, power, capacity and attachments to the application and quote it firm, with the warranty and planned-maintenance options alongside.
Delivery & Support
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
Is it right for you?
// Choose it when
- Heavy multi-shift duty where uptime is critical and a full warranty matters
- You need a specialty configuration — reach, freezer, explosion-proof, high-capacity
- Your current fleet is aging out and repair costs are climbing
- You want one local vendor for equipment, service, and parts
// Consider alternatives when
- Single-shift, lighter-duty work where an inspected used truck does the job for 40–60% less
- A very short-term or one-off need — ask us about rentals instead
- You only need occasional pallet moves — a pallet jack may be all you need

New Forklifts questions
01 Do you sell new forklifts in Delaware?
Yes. Delaware Pallet Racking, a division of Alliance Material Handling, is a factory dealer for Bobcat and Clark lift trucks and sells new forklifts statewide — Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties. We also carry quality-inspected used lift trucks from all major brands. Call (302) 208-6603.
02 How much does a new forklift cost in Delaware?
A new Bobcat or Clark 5,000 lb warehouse lift typically 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 rather than giving a range and adjusting later.
03 Should I buy a new or used forklift?
Buy new for heavy multi-shift duty, specialty configurations, or when uptime is critical and you want a full factory warranty and planned maintenance. Used makes sense for single-shift, lighter-duty operations and saves 40–60% up front. We stock both and will give you an honest recommendation based on your hours and duty cycle.
04 Do you service the forklifts you sell?
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.
05 What forklift do I need for my warehouse?
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.
