A down forklift in the middle of a Normal production run or a peak shipping window costs you more than a repair bill - it stalls the whole line. Associated keeps central Illinois operations moving with on-site forklift service, planned maintenance, and fast parts, delivered by factory-trained technicians and backed by one of the largest parts divisions in the Midwest. We service all makes, with deep expertise on the Raymond trucks we sell.

Uptime Is the Whole Point
Associated employs more than 200 technicians across the Midwest, and our standard dispatch-to-arrival time is among the best in the industry. Planned maintenance keeps small issues from becoming line-stopping failures, and when something does break, our parts depth means the component you need is usually on the shelf - not on backorder. For Normal operations running tight, multi-shift schedules, that combination of preventive care and fast parts is what protects your throughput.
Local Expertise
The high-throughput, multi-shift demands of Normal's automotive and EV manufacturing are hard on lift trucks - batteries, tires, and drive components take a beating under constant duty cycles. We build maintenance schedules around those realities, and we keep wear parts, tires, and battery support moving so a truck feeding a busy assembly line or distribution dock doesn't sideline your operation.
Why Associated?
200+ factory-trained technicians, among the industry's fastest dispatch-to-arrival times, 4,000+ parts in stock with access to 100,000+ more, and planned maintenance that protects uptime - serving central Illinois since 1960.
