Industries We Serve with Forklifts
Forklift Solutions for Every Industry
At Thompson Lift Truck, we know no two operations are the same. Whether you’re in manufacturing, logistics, production, or warehousing, you need equipment that matches your pace, space, and workload. That’s what we’re here for.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your operation, then help you find the right forklifts, service, and support to keep things running smoothly.
Explore the industries we work with below and see how we can help you move more, faster, with less stress.
Manufacturing
Heavy lifting, tight deadlines, and constant movement; sound familiar? We’ll help you find forklifts that can keep up on the manufacturing floor and support high-output production environments.
Production
From raw materials to finished products, we’ve got industrial lift trucks that work as hard as your team does, supporting continuous production, day in and day out.
Production environments depend on consistent material flow between workstations, presses, and assembly lines. We help production teams choose forklifts that handle repeat lifts, tight clearances, and nonstop cycles without slowing output.
Logistics & Distribution
Fast-paced work needs fast, reliable forklifts. We’ll help you find the gear to move goods in and out without delays.
Logistics and distribution operations rely on smooth dock-to-storage flow, fast pallet handling, and equipment that can keep up with tight shipping windows. We help logistics teams choose forklifts built for high-throughput environments, frequent loading cycles, and minimal downtime.
Warehousing & Storage
Organized storage and quick access matter in warehouse environments. We help you choose forklifts that fit your layout and workflow, so inventory moves efficiently without wasted space or delays.
Warehouse operations depend on space efficiency, safe stacking, and predictable material flow. We help warehouse teams select forklifts designed for narrow aisles, high rack storage, electric indoor use, and consistent daily picking cycles.
