👷 About AAA Forklifts

Shawn Englert founded AAA Forklifts in 2013 with one goal: to make high-quality equipment and parts more affordable and accessible for working-class business owners. With decades of experience in agriculture, transportation, automotive, and hydraulic service, Shawn understood the rising costs and limitations of dealer networks — and built an alternative.

With help from his sons Kurtis and Evan, the business grew from a modest 1,500 sq. ft. storage unit to a 14,000 sq. ft. facility in Orlando, FL. Today, we proudly serve Orlando, Tampa, and all of Central Florida — and now Raleigh, NC — with reliable forklift solutions and unbeatable service.

Customer Testimonial

"I've had such a GREAT experience with AAA Forklifts. My driver brought my forklift in thinking we needed to replace the hose due to leaking. They inspected it and realized it just needed to be tightened. They fixed it and sent me on my way with no charges. Most companies would’ve just replaced the part and charged me for it. Tonya was professional and walked me through everything. This kind of honesty is rare. I highly recommend AAA Forklifts to everyone."
