Material Handling Wholesale

Material Handling Wholesale has been a family-owned and operated business for over 40 years, serving the material handling industry with dedication and expertise. Founded in 1978 by Robert Hannan, Sr. and Betty Hannan, our vision was to establish one of the largest forklift salvage yards in the nation while providing economical solutions for businesses. In 1994, we relocated to Elgin, Illinois, where we continue to offer refurbished forklifts and parts at competitive prices. Our commitment to quality is evident in our rigorous inspection and refurbishment processes, ensuring every product meets high standards before shipment. With three generations of the Hannan family leading operations, we maintain a focus on customer satisfaction and value-driven service.

Our inventory includes over 2,500 trucks and parts from trusted brands like Crown, Raymond, and Toyota, catering to diverse material handling needs. As a global supplier, we ship across the United States and internationally, supporting businesses worldwide. Our 10-acre facility in Elgin houses the largest scrap yard in the nation, with over 21,000 forklifts parted out to deliver cost-effective solutions. We pride ourselves on fast order fulfillment, with 90% of orders shipped within 24 hours, and a team of lift truck specialists available to assist customers. For more than four decades, our dedication to reliability, transparency, and customer-centric service has solidified our reputation as a trusted industry leader.
