Testimonials

On 6/2/2026 Geno Giuntoli had this to say:
Paul has been an Absolutely amazing person to work with. I bought the forklift from him over a year ago, but he is always and I mean always willing to help and troubleshoot on the phone and I have to say every problem that I’ve had has been Operator error and has never been the machine.

On 1/8/2026 Chris De Jesus had this to say:
Fast and professional service. We were down here for a job and needed the brakes fixed. Took all of maybe 5 minutes. Recommend 10/10. I wish we had one in Wisconsin.

We've been using Lift Truck Drs for the last few years and have been exceptionally pleased. We have several manlifts and forklifts that we depend on daily in our brewery and service businesses. Whenever we have any issues, I give Paul a call and he's on it. The repairs are quick, and their prices have been more than fair. Highly recommend these guys!
