Lift Power Turns 50!

50 Years of Growth

Lift Power is proud to celebrate its 50 year anniversary in 2021! Founded in 1971 by L.D. Mohrman Jr. as a forklift dealer, Lift Power has since expanded to become a multi-location, full-scale material handling product and service provider under the leadership of Don Hune.

Lift Power now functions not only as a full-service forklift dealer (offering forklift sales, service, and parts), it also runs full-scale dock and door and storage and handling divisions. The goal, in the words of Don Hune, is to a be a partner clients can rely on “to help them be more cost effective while improving productivity.”

Lift Power has certainly met this goal at increasing degrees over the decades, and the company continues to find new and innovative ways to provide premiere products and services to its ever-expanding customer base.
