As a business owner, it takes a leap of faith, hard work, and sacrifice to make an entrepreneurial dream come true.

In 1982, Craig Murphy opened Lift Truck Supply in a small
building, servicing equipment and selling Toyota forklifts – it was the first Toyota forklift dealership in Texas. What began as one shop in Tyler has since expanded to 5 locations across Central and East Texas.

Not only has the growth been across physical locations but also in product and service offerings. LTS adapted to meet the evolving needs of its customers and over time developed into a comprehensive material handling solutions provider. 

With growth comes change.

Over the past 41 years, Lift Truck Supply has grown to include: 5 shop locations, nearly 100 employees, and well-developed product lines and service offerings. The business scope has evolved, so it was time for the branding to evolve as well. 

Welcome, LTS Material Handling!

LTS Material Handling marks an exciting milestone for our customers, partners, and employees. We look forward to what the next 40 years will bring.
