How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Over 50 years ago, founder William Perry DuBose left the family farm in Arkansas to work in Illinois. He found he could make money repairing and servicing a variety of material handling equipment. His plan was to work for 10 years, make enough money to provide some financial security for his young family and return home to Arkansas. In 1956, he started a company and moved into a small shop in Franklin Park, Illinois. The name of that company was National Lift Truck, Inc.
