The lineup

Which forklift fits the work

Six forklift classes cover almost every job in this corridor. Every card shows the same four figures side by side: capacity, aisle, lift height and where it belongs.

Electric counterbalance forklift working a warehouse aisle 01Class I

Electric Counterbalance

Electric is nearly always the best choice indoors. It has no exhaust, runs quieter in shared space and costs less to run. Lithium batteries make it work for multi-shift jobs too.

Capacity
3,000–12,000+ lb
Aisle
11–13 ft
Lift
to ~20 ft
Best for
finished slabs, indoors
Electric counterbalance
Pneumatic-tire forklift working an outdoor yard 02Class V

IC Pneumatic Counterbalance

The IC pneumatic truck is the workhorse of this corridor. One truck can work a dock, a yard and a trailer on the same shift. We sell Crown, Clark and Bobcat new, and inspected used from every make.

Capacity
3,000–40,000+ lb
Aisle
12–14 ft
Lift
to ~20 ft
Best for
docks, yards, rough ground
IC pneumatic forklifts
Reach truck working a narrow aisle between loaded racking 03Class II

Reach Truck

A reach truck pays off once a building has 24 ft of clear height or more. It works aisles down to about 8 ft and lifts past 30 ft. That lets a tall building use all its space.

Capacity
3,000–4,500 lb
Aisle
8–10 ft
Lift
to 30+ ft
Best for
tall narrow-aisle storage
Reach trucks
Order picker used for case picking out of selective rack 04Class II

Order Picker

An order picker is for picking cases, not pallets. The operator rides up to the rack and picks by hand at height. A high-SKU operation can fill mixed orders without pulling whole pallets down.

Capacity
2,000–3,000 lb
Aisle
5–8 ft
Lift
to 30+ ft
Best for
case picking, high SKU count
Order pickers
Operator moving stock with a walkie stacker in a warehouse 05Class III

Walkie Stacker & Pallet Jack

A walkie stacker is the smallest machine that still stacks. It costs a fraction of a rider truck and turns in almost no space. It saves your counterbalance for the work only it can do.

Capacity
3,000–6,000 lb
Aisle
6–8 ft
Lift
to ~12 ft
Best for
short moves, tight rooms
Pallet jacks & walkies
Cushion-tire forklift working a smooth indoor warehouse floor 06Class IV

IC Cushion Counterbalance

The IC cushion truck is the indoor internal combustion forklift. Its solid tires make it lower and shorter than a pneumatic truck of the same capacity. So it turns tighter and fits under lower doors.

Capacity
3,000–15,000+ lb
Aisle
11–13 ft
Lift
to ~20 ft
Best for
smooth indoor concrete

Common Questions

Straight answers about buying, renting, service and operator training in Northern Virginia.

1

What forklift brands do you sell?

Dulles Forklifts sells Crown, Clark and Bobcat 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.

2

Do you rent forklifts, and for how long?

Yes. We offer daily, weekly, monthly and longer-term forklift rentals across the whole corridor. 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.

3

Should I buy new or used?

Choosing new or used depends more on hours and duty cycle than on budget. A quality used truck usually costs 40–60% 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.

4

Do you service forklifts you did not sell?

Yes. Our technicians service all major makes, not only the brands we sell new. We handle planned maintenance programs and on-site repairs across the corridor. 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.

5

Do you provide OSHA operator training?

Yes. We provide OSHA operator training and evaluation on site, on your trucks, in your building. OSHA 1910.178 requires operators to be trained, evaluated and certified before they drive a powered industrial truck. They must be re-evaluated at least every three years. They must also be re-evaluated sooner after an incident or a change of equipment. Training in your building matters, because the evaluation must reflect your real workplace.

6

What areas do you cover?

Dulles Forklifts covers Loudoun, western Fairfax and Prince William counties. That includes Sterling, Ashburn, Dulles, Leesburg, Purcellville, Chantilly, Herndon, Reston, Fairfax, Centreville, Manassas, Gainesville, Bristow and Haymarket. If your building is in Northern Virginia, we can get a truck and a technician to it.
