Jack and Jim Phillips founded the Equipco Division of their family business, Phillips Mine and Mill Supply, in 1944. Learning of a new versatile lift truck by the Hyster Company, the brothers quickly saw the value that this would bring to their company. In that same year they became the first Hyster dealer in North America. In 1990, the day to day MATERIAL HANDING operations were sold to Carl Swanson and Tom Rush, two long time employees, who have carried on the tradition of excellence. Today, Equipco not only sells forklifts, but also industrial cleaning and maintainence machines, mezzanies and total warehouse needs.

Did You Know? Since the change of OSHA Regulation 1910.178 of December 1999 regarding Forklift Operator training, many companies have been lost. Armed with partial information and the, "I think I know what we need to do" attitude, they are training and are still not meeting the specifics that are required to be compliant to this standard. The standard does not have alternative rules for the primary operator or the casual operator. Every company that has forklifts must train their operators for site, application, and product specific usage. This training is not just one day, but now is 365/24/7.

Based on your company profile Equipco can help you decide which of our two options would best fit your company needs.
