About Us

About Wisconsin Lift Truck

Wisconsin Lift Truck was founded in 1962 by Otto J. Wolter. It began as a simple parts shop and has grown to be a widely recognized powerhouse in the material handling industry, and beyond. Over the decades we’ve become the trusted source for material handling solutions, power solutions, and fleet management solutions under the Wolter umbrella.

About Wolter

Since the Wolter story began in 1962, our company, like our industry, has been constantly evolving. We’ve grown to become one of the largest and most diverse industrial equipment and productivity solutions providers in the country.

Along the way, we’ve assembled the parts and pieces necessary to address our clients’ unique productivity challenges. In 2011, we gathered our companies under one umbrella, Wolter Group, LLC to make our collective strength more easily recognizable. Now, we’re taking that a step further and rebranding all of our member companies under a single name: Wolter.

Wisconsin Lift Truck Will Be Rebranded as Wolter

In an effort to give our customers more integrated productivity solutions, we’ll be bringing all of our companies under the Wolter name. During this transitional period, you’ll still see these former brand names along with the Wolter name. For more information about this process, visit WeAreWolter.com.
