A Harlo forklift is an American-made rough-terrain forklift designed for the toughest jobs in construction, agriculture, forestry, lumberyards, and more. Built by Harlo Products in Grandville, Michigan, this Harlo forklift has been a trusted name in the industry since the early 1940s.
A Legacy of Quality
Harlo has been in business since 1937 and began producing forklifts in 1958. The company started by hand-building vertical mast assemblies for the U.S. Navy during World War II. Today, every Harlo forklift is still hand-built in Michigan and backed by a third-generation, family-owned legacy of quality and dependability.

Key Features
A Harlo forklift is built for rugged performance. It is powered by trusted John Deere or Cummins diesel engines. Many models feature a heavy-duty reinforced frame, load-sensing hydraulics for smooth control, and a mast cushion kit (accumulator) that absorbs shock on uneven terrain to protect your load. With industry-leading travel speeds up to 27.4 mph and fast lift speeds, a Harlo forklift keeps your operation moving.
