Nashville – November 10, 2026 -- Bailey Equipment & Intralogistics has acquired Northwest Forklift, Inc., doubling the size of its Pacific Northwest team following its entry into the region in January 2026.
Northwest Forklift is a material handling dealership serving customers in Washington state and northern Idaho. The deal extends Bailey's support footprint across Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana. The two companies bring more than 130 years of combined industry experience.
Northwest Forklift operations move into Bailey's Kent, Washington headquarters
Northwest Forklift operations will be consolidated into Bailey's Pacific Northwest headquarters at 23206 66th Ave S in Kent, Washington. The acquisition adds local sales, service, parts, rental and material handling staff to Bailey's regional organization.
Lakota Holder, Managing Director of the Pacific Northwest for Bailey, said the company is "investing aggressively in Washington" and sees long-term growth potential in the market. He added that the deal also improves Bailey's ability to serve Northern Idaho and Western Montana.
UniCarriers joins Bailey's Washington brand portfolio
From Kent, Bailey currently represents Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, CAT Lift Trucks and Jungheinrich, as well as SANY heavy equipment. Northwest Forklift adds UniCarriers to the Washington lineup. The broader range covers electric and internal combustion forklifts, warehouse products and specialized equipment.
Bailey targets faster response times for warehouses, ports and manufacturers
Customers gain access to a larger pool of equipment, rental fleets, parts inventory, technical expertise and lifecycle support. Bailey says the combined organization will deliver faster response times and broader coverage for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, ports and logistics operations.
Justin Bailey, President of Bailey Equipment & Intralogistics, said the deal combines the expertise of both organizations while the company invests in material handling across Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Since opening operations in Washington earlier this year, Bailey has invested in people, facilities, inventory and customer support in the region.
