NW Lift Truck Service, Inc.

Established in 1987, NW Lift Truck Service, Inc. serves businesses with forklift sales, rentals, leasing, parts, maintenance, repair, transportation, and operator training. The company began as an independent mobile lift truck repair operation with one service vehicle and a small Portland shop. It later expanded into new and used equipment sales, built an extensive rental fleet, and became a forklift dealership. Its current equipment lineup includes lifts from Tailift, HangCha, and Noblelift, while its technicians repair and service forklifts from all manufacturers. Short and long term rental options help businesses address seasonal workloads, unexpected demand, emergency replacements, and equipment evaluations before purchase or a longer commitment.

The Portland operation supports material handling and storage requirements across Clark and Cowlitz, Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties. Its service programs focus on planned maintenance, equipment uptime, inspections, and repairs, complemented by access to replacement parts and flat top hauling for moving lifts to repair facilities or customer locations. Accredited trainers conduct industrial forklift and manlift instruction both on site and off site, including operator certification and Train the Trainer programs. The company entered the dealership business with TCM in 1991 and became a Tailift dealer in late 2012, reflecting a progression from mobile repair into a broader lift truck operation for industrial and commercial customers.
