Hoist Material Handling, operating under the Hoist Liftruck brand, designs and manufactures high-capacity liftrucks in the 7-to-57-ton range. All models are produced in the United States, reflecting a vertically integrated facility and reliance on domestic suppliers. The product lineup covers heavy-duty cushion-tire and pneumatic forklifts, container handlers, and reachstackers, engineered for durability, productivity, and serviceability in demanding applications. 

The company serves businesses that require large-capacity material-handling equipment, supporting customers from initial inquiry through field service and parts supply. More than 75% of each liftruck’s material is manufactured in-house, including chassis, steer axles, and masts, with the balance sourced from suppliers such as Cummins, Dana, and Parker, supporting lead times of eight to twelve weeks. Headquartered in East Chicago, Indiana, the business has a history dating back more than 95 years and was acquired by Toyota Industries North America in 2019.
