Bristol Manufacturing was started in 1982 as a division of Bristol Steel, and was tasked with the re-manufacturing of high capacity rigger forklifts and fabrication of heavy machinery mover carts. Due to the unavailability of such equipment, other companies started renting and buying this equipment, thus a new business was formed.
In 1998, Bristol Manufacturing was incorporated and is currently the industry leader in high capacity equipment and builds as many as 60 units in a given year! A few examples of what we produce:
