The Mini Forklift by Stärke has Arrived!


This compact, flexible and durable forklift with German engineered drive axle and mast is now available through the Stärke Material Handling Group across North America.

Revolutionize your factory, warehouse or indoor work site with the ability to go from one end of your facility to the other, and deliver materials right to the production line or workstation, without weight, height or width restrictions. The Stärke 3-wheel Mini Forklift is your compact, light-duty, narrow aisle workhorse that loves tight spaces.

Perfect for indoor applications where size matters; the Mini Forklift has an impressive turning radius and is also suitable for construction projects where a light-weight portable lift is required. The Mini works in tight retail settings and trailer loading/unloading applications as well.

The cost of one Mini Forklift will save your facility money right away by eliminating multiple light-weight electric pallet trucks and walkies - replacing them with one unit that can do it all - while affording the same easy operation you will find in a standard forklift.

With its overhead guard the Stärke Mini improves the safety of the operator from falling overhead objects, common in a warehousing application, while the LED exterior safety lights alert others of its presence.

The Stärke Mini will prove itself time and again through strength of product, cost, warranty, parts support and ease of use. When Stärke builds a product, they build it tough! Stärke means Strength.


Imagine the possibilities.

Stärke Material Handling Group Supports Jailed Dealer

Stärke Material Handling Group is proud to announce that George Hartford; the owner of Hartford’s Forklift in Auburn, Maine, is going to be spending some time behind bars. Why would they be proud of that, and what did he do to end up jail? He’s helping to defeat a life-threatening muscular disease by participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Lock-up!

This is a donation inspired event in which Hartford’s Forklifthas full support from Stärke. Stärke has also offered an additional challenge to George, assuring more donations for this great cause from Hartford’s equipment supplier. That challenge states that with each new product purchase Hartford’s Forklift acquires, Stärke will increase their initial donation.
The MDA Lock-up takes place on March 5th, 2015 which will fund treatments and cures, provide life-enhancing programs in state-of-the-art clinics and support groups, and send kids with muscle disease to the MDA summer camp, where they will enjoy ‘the best week of the year’, having fun while gaining confidence, independence and new friends.
George’s own company has donated and is receiving help through Stärke, but he’d be thrilled to receive your support too.
Please support him in this important mission by making a tax-deductible donation. Your gift will speed MDA’s progress in muscle disease research and care, and make a difference to children and adults living with muscle disease in the Lewiston/Auburn area.
Don’t hesitate to contact or email George if you have any questions concerning how this donation works and how it will be used
