Your authorized forklift dealer across the Northeast.
New & used forklift sales, rentals, parts, and 24/7 service from Hamden, CT. We spec, deliver, and maintain Hyundai and Big Joe equipment across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and New England.
A forklift is a long-term investment. Buy it from a partner, not a listing.
Buying from an authorized dealer means the truck is spec'd for your application, backed by a warranty, and supported by technicians who know the machine. Here is what that looks like at Evolution Forklift.

Common questions about buying from a forklift dealer.
What does an authorized forklift dealer offer that a private seller does not?
An authorized dealer provides manufacturer-backed warranties, factory-trained technicians, genuine parts, financing, delivery, and trade-in support. Private sellers rarely offer inspection reports, warranty coverage, or ongoing service — which means a cheap purchase can turn into an expensive repair.
Do you sell forklifts to businesses outside Connecticut?
Yes. We sell, deliver, and service forklifts across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Our Hamden, CT location is the dispatch hub for the entire Northeast service area.
Can I trade in my current forklift?
Yes. We accept trade-ins on most makes and models, including Toyota, Yale, Hyster, Crown, Clark, and Caterpillar. We evaluate condition, hours, and market value to put a fair credit toward your next truck.
What brands do you carry as a forklift dealer?
We are an authorized dealer for Hyundai Material Handling and Big Joe. Hyundai covers electric, LP, diesel, and high-voltage sit-down forklifts. Big Joe specializes in integrated lithium-ion warehouse trucks, stackers, order pickers, pallet jacks, and AMR robots.
Do you offer forklift financing?
Yes. We work with equipment finance partners to offer lease and purchase options for new and used forklifts. Most approvals come back within one business day.
How fast can you deliver a forklift?
In-stock new and used forklifts can usually be delivered within a few business days across our service area. We handle transport, unloading, and operator familiarization on delivery.
