Local expertise

Forklifts in Green, OH

Green is a business-park city, and we bring forklifts to every one of its parks, from the airport ground to the I-77 exits. The city sits between Akron and Canton in southern Summit County, with Akron-Canton Airport inside its borders. Three I-77 exits serve it: the airport exit (113), SR-241 at Massillon Road (118) and South Arlington Road (120). Green has more than a dozen named business and industrial parks. Much of its industrial space sits in these planned parks, not in old factory districts.That shapes the trucks buyers need here. Many buildings have wide aisles, dock doors and smooth floors, so electric trucks do most of the indoor work.

Forklifts for Green business parks

The City of Green maps its business parks by name. We work in all of them. They include:

AKCAN Industrial Park
CAK International Business Park and Port Green, near the airport
Gateway Corporate Park and Akron-Canton Corporate Park
Interstate Business Park, Boettler Business Park and Miller Industrial Park

Tenants range from small shops to large distribution buildings. A 3,000 lb electric truck may cover a small unit. A big dock-heavy building often runs a mixed fleet of counterbalance trucks, reach trucks and pallet jacks.

Massillon Road and the SR-241 corridor

Massillon Road (SR-241) is the main north-south spine through Green. The city widened it to four lanes from I-77 south to SR-619, with roundabouts at Raber Road, Stein Road and SR-619.

For fleets, that matters in two ways. Delivery trucks reach the parks faster. And service vans can reach your building from the interstate without long detours.

From the parks around Akron-Canton Airport to the I-77 exits at Massillon Road and Arlington Road, fleets follow the building stock. One side is older single-story light-industrial buildings along the main roads, many with lower roofs and tighter docks. The other side is planned business-park buildings with dock doors, wide aisles and taller racking. Which one you occupy decides mast height, tire type and battery chemistry.

Green questions

Do you deliver rental forklifts to businesses near Akron-Canton Airport?

Yes. We deliver rental forklifts to buildings around Akron-Canton Airport, including CAK International Business Park and Port Green. Rentals run daily, weekly, monthly or long-term, and we pick the truck up when you are done.

What forklift fits a newer Green distribution building?

An electric counterbalance or reach truck fits most newer Green distribution buildings. These buildings tend to have smooth floors, dock doors and taller racking. We check your clear height (the usable height under the roof steel) and your top beam before we quote a mast.

Can you service the mixed fleet in our Green business park unit?

Yes. We service every major make, not only the brands we sell. Many Green tenants inherit trucks from a past tenant or buy used. We can put all of them on one planned maintenance schedule.
