They worked hard for many years to establish a business built on integrity and dedication to quality service.

Customer Testimonials

"At Family RV we use many vendors to assist us with our needs to keep our business running well. We used another fork lift company and they gave us an enormous estimate to repair our fork lift that we actually bought from them.
I called Sunrise forklift and the owner came out and in a few hours repaired it perfectly at 50 % or less then the other repair shop
Thanks."

"My forklift stopped to start. Stephanie sent a technician to diagnose the problem the same day. The technician found the key wasn't working. So he replaced the key set. Still the forklift didn't start, later he found out the starter needs to be reworked. Anyway, he fixed my forklift with extra hours. When I brought the first mis-diagnose up, the manager is willing to give me some discount on the key replaced which is not necessary. Even though I don't need a new key, since they have replaced a new one and willing to give me discount on labor. I'm happy with the result. I'll come back in the future."

"Sunrise Forklift is the local dealer for TCM, and my experience with them has been excellent. The very polite and professional receptionist offered to "send her Dad" out to take an look when our truck wouldn't start. He called from the road, discussed symptoms and locations and turns out to live about a block away from the winery.

A follow up call when he had evaluated the truck told us that it was now starting, but really needed some work, and he provided a good estimate of the expected costs including transportation. (Even a small truck weights 2X what it picks up) His concern was that the required work might be more than the truck was worth (we bought it used with 6500 hrs) and was very thorough and profession in all interactions."

Yes! Yes! Yes! I work for a flooring company, and we have a forklift that we use in our storage facility. These guys have serviced our forklift few times in the past, and they have been providing us with a superb service. Yesterday, 7-29-20, our forklift died in the middle of the day. Thank God, we were able to use it for our daily projects. However, we had several projects today, 7-30-20, that needed to be loaded using the forklift. I have called Stephanie around 4 PM to check if she and her father (The guy who actually worked on our forklift) could pule out a miracle and take care of us. I was hoping they could come today, 7-30-20, early morning, so we could load our jobs. Her father, contacted me, and he went to take care of our forklift 30 minutes after I had originally called. He did not leave until the forklift was up and running. Therefore, today, 7-30-20, we were able to load all of the goods we needed to load, and our projects were done without any interruption. Unexpected things like I describe can ruin an entire day of business that can cause loss of money, unhappy clients, and decrease in future business. By having a reliable, professional, and loyal company such as Sunrise Forklift Inc, we were able to avoid all of the negative effects of a " Dead Forklift". I am extremely happy that you guys are servicing our forklift, and I am positive that we will be working together for a long time. If you need any forklift services, please give these guys a chance. They will always put a smile on your face.
