Nissan began producing forklifts at their Totsuka Plant in Japan in 1957. But it wasn’t until 1965 that they started exporting forklifts to the United States under the brand name Datsun.
Over time, Nissan established itself as a top forklift producer, as evidenced by the fact that they produced over 600,000 forklifts worldwide between 1957 and 2007.
By 2012, Nissan Forklift joined UniCarriers (still under the name Nissan) but in 2015, the Nissan brand name ceased to exist and was replaced by UniCarriers.
Interestingly, UniCarriers itself is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Logisnext - along with CAT, Jungheinrich, and a few other forklift brands. Despite Nissan being founded in Japan, the new Nissan/UniCarriers company is headquartered in Marengo, IL.
Raymond
Since George Raymond Sr. founded The Raymond Corporation in Greene, New York in 1922, the company has since established itself as a legendary forklift manufacturer.
First, they designed and patented the modern wooden pallet along with the first hydraulic hand pallet jack back in 1939.
Second, they’re credited with the creation of the first narrow aisle lift truck in 1951, and the first very narrow aisle fork truck in the 1970s.

Today, Moffett is owned by Swedish company Hiab, but still specializes in truck-mounted forklifts. These lift trucks feature all-wheel drive and steering for punishing off-road tasks.
Fun fact: Cecil Moffet’s son Robert is one of the founders of Combilift. Obviously, forklifts are in that family’s blood!

Fenwick has a long history dating back to 1862.
In that year – in Paris – Noël Fenwick began his business exporting various novelty items to the US. As Fenwick’s success grew, the company began importing Yale electric forklifts in 1918. This progressed to a licensing deal, which allowed the company to begin manufacturing Yale lift trucks in 1927. Fenwick repeated this importing–licensing strategy with Lambretta scooters in 1951.
Fast-forward to 1984, and unfortunately, Fenwick shuttered its last production facility in France. It was subsequently acquired by Linde, which continues selling under the "Fenwick-Linde" and "Fenwick" brand names in France.

Formed in 1949, TCM (which stands for “Toyo Carriers Manufacturing”) offers internal combustion and electric forklifts, reach trucks, and skid steers.
It bills itself as having "manufactured the first 'Made in Japan' internal combustion engine forklift." Like many other brands on this list, TCM has gone through several mergers and acquisitions over the years. Here’s the long and short of it: TCM > UniCarriers (in 2012) > Mitsubishi Logisnext (in 2017).
And although it was founded in Japan, today the company’s lift trucks are "predominantly developed and built in Europe."

Of note is JAC’s claim to "[construct] its own engine production and supply system."
OM Forklift Trucks
OM is an interesting company. Founded in Italy before 1937, the company today has its headquarters in India. So, we’re filing it under Asian forklift manufacturers.
Regardless, OM began as a producer of “manual carts” for military use. By 1951, the company was producing electric and internal combustion forklift trucks. And by the mid-1960, it was “the sector leader in Italy” (as the company claims on its website).
In 1967, OM merged with the Fiat Commercial Vehicle Group. Following this merger, Linde became a more active participant in OM’s ”business administration.” This culminated in Linde buying out Fiat’s shares in OM, and resulted in the creation of “OM Forklift Trucks Ltd.”
Finally, in 2010, OM and STILL merged (in Italy), with their products now sold under the “OM STILL” brand name.
BT Forklift
“BT” stands for “Build and Transport." And it traces its roots to Japan, in 1946. By 1948, the company had "produce[d] the first hydraulic hand pallet truck and the standard Euro pallet." That was followed by "the first driverless truck" in 1978.
By 1997, BT acquired the Raymond brand of lift trucks. And in 2000, Toyota acquired BT (and Raymond, in turn). Thus today, BT exists under the Toyota "umbrella" of material handling companies.
Through its partnership with Toyota and Raymond, BT offers a range of electric lift trucks including reach trucks, order pickers, pallet trucks, and stackers.
Nichiyu Electric Forklift
Nichiyu’s claim to fame is creating the 1st electric forklift in Japan (in 1939). Today, the company is a part of Mitsubishi Logisnext, having merged in 2015. They produce a range of industrial trucks that spans nearly all classes (except internal combustion).

Please share with us in the comments section!
Climate forklift is not listed on here
Hi Andy,
I wasn’t able to find any information on the Climate forklift brand. Would you have a link you could post here where I can review it?
Comprehensive and nice list, thanks. Also did not see JAC forklifts which I was sure would be on this list – it is quite a formidable brand here. Regards, Rob – Elec-Mech
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the compliment! We’ll be sure to add JAC forklifts on the next update as well. Cheers!
Is there a new electric forklift manufacturer named some letter v or z or n etc in front of word tech or tek
There’s a company called Noveltek based in Taiwan that manufacturers a few different models of electric forklifts. Thanks for the question – we’ll add that one to the list!
Nichiyu forklift is not added in that list
Hi Ajith, thank you for letting us know – we’ll be sure to add Nichiyu to the list!
Where is STILL?
Hi Vilém,
We totally missed that one, but we’ll be sure to add it. Thanks for the tip!
Still is the same company called Baoli, it is on the list
Never heard of Still until watching the news CBS news Saturday showing one of their electric units unloading a tracker trailer truck- been in the industry since 1973 and was surprised
I wonder if all of these belong to The ITA – Industrial Te KCWRT Association.
I wanted to be sure about what I was told about Linde by their business partners operating in Nigeria and your post corroborated that. Well done on the research.
Hi Oluwaseun,
Thank you for the kind compliment – I’m glad you found what you needed in this article!
You don’t have LiuGong on this list either.
Hi Carrie,
Great catch – we’ll be sure to add them!
You also didn’t mention Nissan.
Thanks for the heads up! We’ll add it 🙂
What about Hangcha forks.
Goodsense forks.
Fork force Forks.
BT forks
Lansing forks
Hi Rick,
We definitely missed those – thank you for the suggestions!
Raymond forklifts are big in my area.
Climax, Conveyancer, and many others, I’m trying to find the name of a German sideloader but can’t remember it s name, I think it began with m, but not sure, definitely not Batman.f
How about Audi and Mercedes-Benz? Not as big as the ones listed, but still lift manufacturers.
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the suggestions! I did a little googling, but couldn’t come up with anything on Audi- or Mercedes-made forklifts. If you have any additional information, could you post it here? I’d love to look at it. Cheers!
Uh, no mention of Raymond? One of the most prominent North American manufacturers.
Great suggestion, we’ll be sure to add that as well!
How about Rocla, Unicarriers and TCM? Fenwick is the brand Linde uses in France.
Towmotor is also famous and they are back!
All fantastic suggestions that we will add — thank you so much!
BT as well although it’s been purchased by Toyota yet its a different brand and I think Hyster Group- Yale.
Crown…
It’s a good initiative I suggest to dig out more to complete your list.
Thanks
We’ll add BT as well — thanks!
who makes the Eaves fork lifts
Hi Don,
From what I can tell, Eaves is the actual maker of Eaves forklifts (the full company name was Eaves Manufacturing Co.). I say it “was” their name, because they don’t appear to be open any longer. Instead, it seems that Harvey Manufacturing is the name of the business that occupies the Arkansas address that I traced to Eaves. Here are a couple of links that I found while searching that you may find informative: https://bt-forklifts.net/not-specified/eaves-forano-e175-928089; https://www.manta.com/c/mm7lrrh/harvey-manufacturing-llc#contact
Thanks for reaching out!
How about General Forklift, out of China? We have had one for 11 years, but they seem to have departed North America. Currently cannot locate a dealer, so they may be absorbed by another company.
Hi S.J.,
From what I can tell, General Forklift seems to have come from Dalian, China. There is still a major forklift manufacturer in Dalian called the “Dalian Forklift Co.” I’m not sure if the General Forklift you have is the same as what the existing company produces, but if you compare the pictures below, they do look pretty similar:
I hope that helps!
I like, that kind of information….Thank you so much…
You’re welcome Surya!
Do you have a list of component manufacturers ? Mainly for Lifting Masts and Carriages for forks. Who can give feedback on this question ? BR Mikael Andersson / Product Manager Kalmar.
Hi Mikael,
We don’t currently have a list of component manufacturers. But that is an interesting topic and I can see how it could be very useful, especially for folks on the manufacturing/distribution side of material handling. Our team will look into it and see if that’s something we could put together. Thanks for the suggestion!
No idea how I got to this site but I collected since I started in 1972 over 1375 manufaturers of forklifs worldwide. That is beside 43.000 car and truck brands.Keeps you busy. So brace !!
Wow, that is really something! It’s crazy how many manufacturers there are, and new ones seem to pop up every single day. Cheers!
Woah! I wasn’t aware that there are a lot of forklift manufacturers, thanks for the info!
– Pete (Owner of a Painting Company )
Hi Pete,
Indeed, there are a ton! You’re welcome!
HOW ABOUT AHUI FORK LIFT GROUP
Hi Michael,
It looks like we do have that one. It’s listed as “Anhui Heli” under the Asian Manufacturers grouping. Cheers!
There is Cukurovo branded producer in Turkey.
Also OM Pimespo in Italy.
Don’t know if Balkancar from Bulgaria is still working.
Thinking about a Champ 1958 200D. Can you tell me about the company and if there is any manuals for this unit?
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for reaching out! It seems there are many rumors about the company floating around the web. The most reputable source (the Chicago Tribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1990-12-28-9004170438-story.html) says Champ started in Los Angeles in the early 1950s as a “manufacturer of rough-terrain straight-mast forklifts.” Gehl bought them in 1990, but Gehl’s website currently makes no mention of Champ.
As far as manuals, I couldn’t find anything. It’s probably longshot, but you can check eBay periodically (if you aren’t already). Or set up automatic alerts to let you know if one gets posted.
Otherwise, you can try contacting your nearest authorized dealer/service center for help with repairs and/or sourcing parts. Check out https://www.toyotaforklift.com/find-a-dealer. Or, contact us (https://www.conger.com/locations/) and we’ll direct you to your closest authorized dealer/service center as well.
Thanks!
Strongly recommendation is EP from China.

I’ve spent a good bit of seat time on a Taylor!
Hey. Didn’t see Taylor Forklift its big American brand
Hi George,
You’re right — we’ll be sure to add Taylor on the next update. Thanks for the heads up!
Cheers!
Great !
Can one get spare parts for the listed forklifts ?
Hi Noel,
Yes, you can. I encourage you to contact your nearest authorized Toyota forklift dealer for parts sourcing. Dealerships like Conger Industries and our associates within the Toyota dealer network are able to source a wide variety of parts for various forklift brands and models, both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket.
Thanks for reaching out!
Hi Alex,
I think LOADSTAR brand, Made in India, should be in the list. Probably the youngest company around with operations having started post Covid, the company is making significant strides in the Heavy Forklift and Reach Stacker market.
Looking at a used Viper forklift 25 with a 4000 lb lift do you have any information on this
Hi Joe,
It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot available online about Viper. I couldn’t find a founding date or location on their website. But they do seem to have a presence in Chicago. Per the Web Archive, their website has been active since at least 2014. And the earliest result for “Viper Lift Trucks” found via Google News is from July 4th, 2018.
So unfortunately, I can’t really say anything definitively about Viper Forklifts. That said, if you’re looking for a used forklift, feel free to drop us a line. We’d be happy to help you in your search with whatever questions or assistance you need. Good luck!
Hello. XCMG has a line of forklifts. They are based out of China. Would be a good addition to your list.
Thank you.
Kaystar rough terrain forklift is not listed!
In 7 or 8 months from now I will get a new forklift at work. Is called Merlinum. 2 months ago we wisited them to try out one with turnable seat. They only make electric forklifts, they are going to build 16 ton electric soon. Our forklift is 8 ton on 60 cm.
Hi Knut,
Thank you for sharing about Merlinum! It’s interesting to know that there’s a new high-capacity electric forklift manufacturer around. Please let us know how you like the new lift once you get it!
