Over 100 visitors attended Badger ToyotaLift's celebration of the completion of renovations to its New Berlin, Wisconsin facility with an open house event on Earth Day.

Mark Stoughton, the dealership's marketing director, says the facility "badly needed" extra space for continued growth and efficient operations.

"[We also wanted] to give a new look to the facility that incorporated our new name and logo," he explains. Badger ToyotaLift was formerly Badger Material Handling.

The 32,000 sqft facility houses Badger ToyotaLift's sales and administrative departments and parts and service departments. It is also a warehouse storing used equipment and rental fleets. The back of the building was expanded for added storage space. The technicians' locker room was moved upstairs to free up space for the service department, while the conference room was expanded.

Celebration attendees enjoyed a buffet with an Earth Day theme. The food and beverages were served with plates made from biodegradable sugar cane, cups and forks made from compostable corn starch and napkins from recycled materials.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
