Lift Truck Supply (LTS) is expanding its Tyler location in East Texas to keep up with service demands.

The oldest Toyota forklift dealer in Texas, LTS has begun construction on a 20,000 sqft. (1,860 sqm) expansion and is set to create additional technical jobs and increase service support for customers.

Service capabilities will double as the site expands to 40 equipment bays.

An indoor drive-through area for road trucks to load and unload equipment will also be added, with the ability to handle extra-large capacity forklifts and telehandlers.

The dealership will also have a new break room and additional space for racking and storage.

“Lift Truck Supply continues to experience phenomenal growth in all areas of our industry and market. We recently added new locations in Mt. Pleasant and Cedar Park to help meet demand in northeast and central Texas,” says LTS general manager Jimmy Head.

“East Texas continues to add new manufacturing and distribution operations, all of which use materials handling equipment.

“We are making major investments at our Tyler headquarters to ensure we keep up with service demands and better support our customers.”
