LiuGong North America, a manufacturer of equipment for use in the materials handling sector and elsewhere, has added Spokane Forklift and its Boise-based affiliate, Melton Machinery to its dealership network.

According to LiuGong, the partnership enhances its coverage in the Pacific Northwest and deepens its commitment to customer support across some of the region’s most vital industrial markets.

Founded in 2007, Spokane Forklift’s footprint takes in Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and Western Montana. Within this area, the company serves key communities including Spokane/Coeur d’Alene, Moses Lake, the Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, Lewiston, and Missoula.

Meanwhile Melton Machinery, which Spokane Forklift launched in 2023, serves the Treasure Valley, including Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, and Garden City.

Jared Ward, Vice President of Material Handling at LiuGong North America, welcomes the new dealers.

“Their deep local knowledge, outstanding service record, and long-standing customer relationships make them an ideal partner as we expand our material handling footprint,” says Ward.

“Together, we’ll ensure that customers across the Northwest have access to LiuGong’s proven equipment, expert support, and commitment to long-term value.”
