Associated Forklift, Inc. opened up in early 2003, when owner James “Jim” L. Carr and his wife Christine relocated to Shippensburg, PA from New Jersey, where they had successfully operated Tri County Forklifts for over 30 years. After just a few short weeks of setting up a shop and fleet, AFI was up and running. Jim brought with him his lessons from New Jersey and that is what made the central tenet of AFI’s mission to be SPEED TO THE JOB.
AFI relocated in mid-2018 to Carlisle, PA so as to be closer to the bulk of business, to expedite services even more than same day response time already has. Associated Forklift, Inc. is headquartered in Carlisle, PA at 670 Longs Gap Road. At this time, AFI has only one location. Jim Carr has over 50 years of experience in the Forklift business and he is always eager to help get our customers back up and running and so are we!!
