About Us

About Us – Eliftruck.com

At Eliftruck.com, we’ve spent more than 25 years building one of North America’s most trusted and widely recognized online marketplaces for material handling equipment. Long before online equipment marketplaces were common, we pioneered a platform designed specifically for forklift buyers, forklift sellers, and professionals searching for telehandlers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, industrial batteries, chargers, and forklift attachments. Today, we continue to lead the industry with a customer-first approach rooted in real-world experience and decades of hands-on knowledge.

Who We Are

Eliftruck.com was founded and built by people who have spent their entire careers in the material handling industry. With over 30 years of personal experience in equipment operations, purchasing, fleet management, and dealership support behind our leadership team, ELT was developed not by programmers who guessed what users wanted — but by professionals who lived the workflows of equipment buyers and sellers for decades.

Our entire staff, with the exception of our developers, consists of former material handling professionals. Whether it’s forklifts, lift trucks, warehouse equipment, rough-terrain forklifts, or aerial lifts, our team knows the equipment inside and out, from specs and safety to pricing and lifecycle management. This insider expertise directly shapes how we design, maintain, and improve our platform.

Our Tinley Park Headquarters

Eliftruck.com proudly operates from our full in-house office located on the 4th floor in the Tinley Park, Illinois business district. We occupy the entire floor, reflecting both our growth and our commitment to centralizing operations under one roof. Every piece of our platform — from customer service to programming to listing support — is created and managed here in Tinley Park.

Our development team is 100% local, and our in-house experts work side-by-side with our seasoned material handling professionals to ensure every feature on our website is intuitive, useful, and aligned with how real-world buyers and sellers actually shop for equipment.

What Makes Us Different

A Marketplace Built by Industry Veterans

Because Eliftruck.com was created by individuals who worked in material handling, we understand exactly how customers search for used forklifts, new forklifts, pallet jacks, telehandlers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and aerial work platforms. Our website reflects this expertise — from equipment filtering options to listing layouts to dealer tools and buyer education.

Ease of Use for All Ages and Skill Levels

We believe an equipment marketplace should be easy for anyone to use, whether you’re a first-time buyer or a 40-year veteran of the warehouse industry. Our platform is deliberately designed for clarity, simplicity, and speed — a difference that has earned us consistent compliments from users across North America.

In-House Customer Support — Always Live, Never Outsourced

Every call to Eliftruck.com is answered by a live representative located right here in our Tinley Park office. We do not use offshore call centers, automated response systems, or outsourced support services. When buyers and sellers reach out, they connect with someone who actually understands forklifts, lift trucks, material handling equipment, and how the industry works.

A Reputation Built on Trust

Eliftruck.com is BBB accredited in the state of Illinois and has maintained a stellar reputation for 25 years. In an industry where trust, accuracy, and reliability are essential, we are proud to have no negative reviews and a long-standing track record of ethical business practices.
