When a Springfield manufacturer adds a shift or a distribution center on I-55 hits its seasonal peak, the right forklift is the difference between hitting throughput and falling behind. Associated is the authorized Raymond dealer for the region, supplying new forklifts, factory-certified Raymond RENEWED used trucks, and short- and long-term rentals to businesses across Sangamon County. We'll match the truck to your aisles, loads, and duty cycle - and back it with the parts and service to keep it productive.

Why Buy or Rent From the Raymond Dealer
Raymond builds some of the most durable, energy-efficient lift trucks in the industry, and as the authorized Raymond Solutions and Support Center for central Illinois, Associated does more than sell them. Every new and Raymond RENEWED truck is supported by our local parts and service network, and our rental fleet is dealer-maintained so it shows up ready to work. Need to flex capacity for a few weeks or stand up a new line for a few years? We'll structure a purchase, rental, or lease that fits how your Springfield operation actually runs.
Local Expertise
Springfield's distribution operations along I-55 handle pronounced demand swings, while its manufacturers run hard year-round. We help both - supplementing fleets with rentals during peak shipping periods, and placing new or Raymond RENEWED trucks where utilization justifies owning. For the high-throughput beverage-equipment and snack-distribution environments common here, we'll spec the right power, tires, and operator setup so the equipment lasts.
Why Associated?
As the region's authorized Raymond dealer, Associated puts forklift sales, rentals, parts, and service under one roof - backed by 200+ factory-trained technicians and one of the largest parts divisions in the Midwest, serving central Illinois since 1960.
