American Built. American Backed.

We started Patriot because the forklift industry had a problem: too many locked-in service contracts, proprietary parts chains, and inflated costs for the small operator. We built something better.

"To us, it's about relationships, not forklifts."

Every Patriot forklift runs a Kohler, Cummins, or Kubota powertrain — engines any qualified technician can service and any parts supplier can stock. That's not an accident. We designed the lineup so your best local mechanic can keep your machine running, not just the one wearing a specific brand on their shirt. The result is a lower purchase price, lower service costs, and the best warranty in the category: 2 years, parts and labor, on the entire machine. We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we pick up the phone when you call.

Service It Anywhere

Kohler, Cummins, Kubota, Curtis — no proprietary lock-in. Any qualified tech can work on your lift, and parts come from supply chains that already exist.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

A lower purchase price is only the start. When you're not paying a premium for brand-locked service and captive parts, the savings compound every year you own the machine.

2-Year Warranty, Full Machine

Parts and labor — engine, transmission, axles, hydraulics, electrical, and every factory-installed component. Not 90 days. Not powertrain-only. Two full years.

Built for the 1-to-10 Lift Operation

We work with small businesses that own their equipment and need it to perform every shift. Fast delivery, direct support, and a lineup that covers 4,500 to 15,500 lbs.
