Local expertise

Forklifts in Wooster, OH

Wooster mixes farm country with factory work, so its forklifts range from clean electric trucks in food plants to rough-terrain trucks in yards. Wooster is the county seat of Wayne County and its largest job center. US-30 and US-250 cross the city, along with SR-3 and SR-83. Farming runs deep here. Ohio State's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center is based in Wooster. Local industry spans food processing, brush and paint-tool making, auto parts, polymers and research. Several established Wooster employers have expanded in place instead of moving away.

Forklifts for Wooster food and factory floors

Food processing is a big part of Wooster industry. Food plants tend to want:

Electric trucks, with no engine fumes near product
Pallet jacks and walkie stackers for coolers and packing rooms
Trucks that stand up to regular washdowns

Wooster factories that make metal parts or tools may run heavier cushion-tire trucks on smooth concrete. We service both kinds, on every major make.

Rough-terrain forklifts for Wayne County yards

Not every Wooster load sits on smooth concrete. Farm suppliers, lumber yards and building sites work on gravel, dirt and grass. A rough-terrain forklift, such as a Sellick, has large tires and high ground clearance for that ground. We sell new Sellick rough-terrain forklifts in Wayne County.

The city also owns an industrial park where it extended Daisy Way in 2021 and brought in full utilities. City officials expect the park to reach about 1.2 million square feet of industrial space as current projects finish.

From the food plants and factories in town to the farm and lumber yards of Wayne County, fleets follow the building stock. One side is older factory and food-processing buildings in and around town. The other side is newer industrial buildings in the city-owned park, on flat sites with full utilities and room for docks. Which one you occupy decides mast height, tire type and battery chemistry.
