Prolift
started as Clarklift of Buffalo in 1975
when investors purchased
the business from Brodie Industrial Trucks who had been a Clark
forklift dealer for many years. Shortly thereafter we opened a branch
in Jamestown, NY which stayed open until 1994. It was that same
year, 1994, that we took on the Daewoo forklift line that had recently
split from Caterpillar as a contracted partner to manufacturer forklifts.
By the year 1997 the company had become an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) Company. At that time we were a Clark and Daewoo dealer.
The year 2000 was a significant year for
Prolift
as we were awarded the Caterpillar forklift line for both
the Buffalo marketplace as well as the Rochester marketplace. At that time
we changed our name to Prolift and opened a facility in Rochester, NY.
Since that time we have grown into a single
source for our customers
with a diverse product offering which includes
Factory Cat sweepers and scrubbers, Taylor Dunn and Columbia Par Car personnel
vehicles and burden carriers, Pentalift dock equipment, Sellick rough terrain
forklifts and all type of material handling products from racking to industrial
supplies. We offer installation services for dock construction, conveyor
installs and all types of material handling and fabrication.
We are a customer service organization that
provides parts, service, rental and sales along with forklift operator
training.
We have two locations to service the 14 counties of Western
New York and parts of Pennsylvania. We provide 24 hour/seven day a week
emergency service with an experienced factory trained mechanical force
of over twenty. Our average mechanical forklift experience is 25 years.
We provide parts and service support for all makes of forklifts and keep
a large inventory of parts in both locations. Our rental fleet is equipped
to handle any request and we pledge to always find you the rental forklift
you need.
Since 1975 our business has been well positioned
to handle all types of customers and projects.
We have a great group
of people with vast experience that understand what it takes to get the
job done. As an ESOP company you will see the level of dedication in all
aspects of the business. We would be happy to furnish any customer references.
