Bailey Equipment & Intralogistics Acquires Northwest Forklift to Expand Warehousing and Logistics Equipment Business

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, Bailey Equipment & Intralogistics, a U.S. provider of materials handling and warehousing logistics equipment services, announced the acquisition of Northwest Forklift, incorporating its forklift sales, rental, repair, and parts operations in Washington State and northern Idaho into its own business system. The acquisition doubles Bailey's workforce in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and further expands its service coverage across Washington State, northern Idaho, and western Montana.

Northwest Forklift has long been engaged in the distribution of materials handling equipment, serving customers across Washington State and northern Idaho. The acquisition involves local sales, equipment repair, parts supply, rental, and materials handling professional service teams. Following the completion of the transaction, Northwest Forklift's existing operations will be integrated into Bailey's Pacific Northwest regional headquarters in Kent, Washington, unifying regional sales, equipment deployment, and after-sales service. Together, the two companies possess over 130 years of industry experience.

Following the business integration, Bailey will expand the local supply range of forklifts and warehousing equipment. Previously, the company represented brands including Mitsubishi Forklift, Caterpillar Forklift, Jungheinrich, and SANY in Washington State. The acquisition will also bring the UniCarriers forklift brand into its Washington State product portfolio, adding sales options for electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts, warehouse vehicles, and specialized materials handling equipment.

The integrated team will provide forklift sales, short-term and long-term rentals, equipment repair, parts supply, and full lifecycle technical support. Service recipients include warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, ports, and logistics operations. Bailey will also increase equipment inventory and rental fleet resources, and incorporate Northwest Forklift's existing technicians and customer service system into its regional operations network.

This acquisition marks Bailey's second major business expansion since entering the Pacific Northwest market. In January 2026, the company acquired the Washington State operations of equipment dealer Equipment Depot, establishing its Kent regional operations headquarters and obtaining local dealership rights for relevant forklift brands. Following the November acquisition of Northwest Forklift, the company has further integrated the local sales and repair network, forming an equipment service system covering Washington State and neighboring states.
