We opened to the public February 15, 2005 and have seen immense growth
from the beginning. Customers, old and new, have been positive towards our
business and the services we provide.

All American Forklift is a new company started by Doug Hickey with over 20
years experience in the forklift market. The “20 years experience” is based on
two men that joined this company wanting to provide more for their customers.
Being “employee’s only” meant their resources and needs were controlled. As
“hands on managers" they have the ability to do things they see necessary to
better handle the needs of their customers.

Robert McLain was employed with the Local Yale Dealer for 16 years. By
starting out as a technician and working up to operations manager, he gained
his knowledge of the forklift industry and the trust of over 200 customers. Steve
Bellinger was also employed with the Local Yale Dealer for 17 years and a
Hyster dealer for 5 years previous to that. As service manager, Steve shared the
responsibility of insuring every customer was a satisfied customer.
We like to think of ourselves as the same old industry with a whole new
attitude. This can easily be seen with the years of industrial experience we
share along with the modern attributes of daily business.
