New & Pre-Owned Forklift Inventory

1. Electric Forklifts (Lithium-Ion & Lead-Acid)

Ideal for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and clean indoor warehouse environments. Electric lift trucks offer whisper-quiet performance, zero tailpipe emissions, and lower ongoing maintenance expenses compared to internal combustion alternatives.

2. Internal Combustion Lifts (LP Gas & Diesel)

Engineered for high-capacity lifting, outdoor storage yards, and rugged terrain. Our liquid propane (LPG) and diesel forklifts provide continuous 100% power output, rapid fueling, and exceptional torque for demanding workloads.

3. Narrow Aisle Reach Trucks & Order Pickers

Maximize your cubic warehouse layout without sacrificing speed. Our stand-up reach trucks, high-bay order pickers, and turret trucks allow operators to navigate tight aisles while safely lifting loads to high racking elevations.

4. Electric Pallet Jacks & Walkie Stackers

Compact, high-efficiency equipment for dock unloading, staging, and short-run product movement. Designed to reduce operator fatigue and streamline loading dock operations across Charlottesville facilities.

Q1: Should I buy a new or used forklift for my facility?

A: If your forklift runs continuously across multiple shifts per day, purchasing new provides maximum uptime, long-term reliability, and full warranty coverage. For single-shift or periodic use, buying a late-model pre-owned forklift offers significant cost savings without sacrificing performance.

Q2: Do you deliver purchased forklifts to Charlottesville and Albemarle County?

A: Yes. We handle transport and direct delivery for all sold equipment straight to your facility or job site.

Q3Can Coastal Material Handling service the equipment after I purchase it?

A: Absolutely. We provide comprehensive planned maintenance (PM) programs and mobile field service across Central Virginia to keep your warranty valid and your lift operating at peak efficiency.
