Founded in 1999, Lift-Tek designs and manufactures masts, carriages, integral sideshifters and fork positioners for the material handling market. The company’s products are used in industrial trucks, automated guided vehicles, telehandlers, forklifts and more.
“We are pleased to announce the expansion of the Lift-Tek manufacturing facility. This project will not only enhance operational capabilities but also reinforce Lift-Tek and Cascade’s commitment to innovation and growth,” said Cascade Corporation and Lift-Tek President and CEO Davide Roncari. “We look forward to the positive impact this expansion will have on the team and the community.”
Lift-Tek will add 110,000 square feet to its existing manufacturing facility, located at 7040 South Highway 11 in Westminster, and invest in updated production equipment.
