 Work has started on Sellick's new facility |
Construction has begun on a new multi-million dollar, 120,000 sqft. (11,000 sqm) facility in Harrow, Ontario.
Founder Walter Sellick recently presided over a ground-breaking ceremony along with sons Howard and David and grandson Colin Sellick.
"In order to compete on a global scale, we needed to expand and build a state-of-the-art plant," says Sellick president Howard Sellick.
Sellick Equipment has been manufacturing rough-terrain and truck-mounted forklifts for over 47 years, servicing a variety of industries including building supply yards, engineered wood products, automotive recycling, oil field services, mining and military applications.
The business began in 1969, when the Sellicks converted a Ford 4500 industrial tractor into a forklift for outdoor use.
From simple tractor conversions in the early 1970s, Sellick Equipment escalated with the development of the integral one-piece frame. The design could accommodate various industrial powertrains, which led to brand manufacturing for John Deere and International Harvester.
The '80s saw new models and the introduction of the Sellick SEE-THRU roller mast.
In recent years, a new generation of forklifts was introduced featuring enhanced ergonomics, environmentally friendly diesel engines and increased lift capacities.
Sellick products are supported by a nationwide dealer network providing superior parts and service needs.
