Forward Lift, a manufacturer of light- and heavy-duty vehicle lifts, is marking its 50th anniversary in 2018. As part of the celebration, the brand is rolling out an updated logo and new product-focused advertising and social media campaigns.
“Many shop owners face challenges like limited floor space and limited budgets,” says John Uhl, director, light-duty product manager for Forward Lift parent company Vehicle Service Group. “Forward Lift provides a range of vehicle lifts with the features shops of any size need, along with consistent quality and support at a fair price. Offering reliable equipment takes the risk out of purchasing a lift, allowing our customers to focus on taking care of their customers.”
