The Torklift story starts in 1958 when Jon Kay began working at a hitch and tow shop in Tacoma, Washington. Through his experience, he decided he wanted to open his own shop someday. After several years of planning and accumulating equipment, he opens his own shop in Kent, Washington: Torklift Central Welding. Upon opening the doors for business, he begins fabricating his own line of products.
Torklift International continues to develop products and programs to further the RV and automotive industries. Torklift is working with thousands of dealers and has warehouses in five different countries, but that number is growing daily. With 40 years of business and 4 generations working for the company, they maintain their commitment to customer service by being available 24-hours a day and living up to their Legendary Lifetime Warranty promise.
