Wiggins Lift—custom engineering and manufacturing to meet your unique material-handling needs

Wiggins Lift—custom engineering and manufacturing to meet your unique material-handling needs

At our manufacturing facility in California, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques both for engineering and manufacturing. This enables us to be creative as we partner with our clients to produce custom solutions. Wiggins Lift is known for our custom engineering, unlike other manufacturers who produce assembly-line forklifts.

This includes custom attachments for material handling of tires, rebar, large spools, and more; low-profile lifts for small spaces; ordnance handling forklifts for use aboard ships, and more. But we also design and build more unusual solutions. Here are just three examples:

Trash Cylinders

Residential trash trucks deal with a pretty dirty environment. Wiggins was asked to design and manufacture a cylinder that could not only perform well, but weigh less than previous solutions. A lighter truck means a more trash can be transported at once, saving time and money. The addition of a rod scraper consistently removes debris from the cylinder, protecting the seals and increasing reliability.

Drill Rig Modifications and Load Stands

Drilling rigs are fraught with complex regulations and requirements. Wiggins designed and manufactured a self-erecting stand with a BOP (Blow-Out Preventer) to keep the drillers safe as they work above the well head. Because it was self-erecting, it removed the need and expense of a standard crane installation. Tested to 150 tons, the need for safety and precision was paramount. Wiggins delivered.

Stationary Mask and Lift Cylinders

Because Wiggins designs and manufactures its own lift cylinders, we can provide solutions for stationary lift applications. For example, the need to lift a heavy-duty entertainment lighting and laser array from an underground position to 70 feet above ground. The cylinders had to sustain high cycles and have a long life. Another example of Wiggins’ ability to engineer solutions to unique situations.

Wiggins Lift Company and Agriculture

Wiggins Lift Company and Agriculture

Wiggins has been designing and building equipment for the agriculture industry throughout its long history. We pride ourselves on machinery that is dependable and easy to maintain. In fact, Wiggins Lift got its start in the fields of the Oxnard Plain in California by building innovative machines that could be easily serviced in the fields.

We can design, engineer, and manufacture any product to your needs.

Ag Loader

This diesel powered loader can handle 4 pallets at 3,000 pounds each. It delivers clean produce quickly and safely, and lowers the risk of worker injury. It operates in all seasons and in all weather to keep you running year around. The substantial ground clearance, wide tracks, and low ground pressure reduces ruts and the risk of getting stuck.

Harvester

This harvester is self-contained and easy to set up, disassemble, and transport. It is 14 beds wide to harvest faster, cleaner, and safer than other options on the market. The harvester decreases physical demands on workers, expanding your labor pool and decreasing danger of injury. It is diesel powered with wide tracks and low ground pressure allowing it to work in all weather and in all seasons without tearing up your field. These characteristics also keep it from getting stuck or leaving large ruts in the field.

Produce Handler

The Produce Handler can unload a truck in a single pick. Handling up to fourteen pallets at once, it saves time and fuel, and gets produce into the cooler faster. This truck was designed from the ground up for high load and long center applications, no retrofitting. It features a propane engine, fork positioning, and slope piling.

WIGGINS AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS – HIGH CAPACITY WITH CONFIDENCE AND STRENGTH

We customize all our products for your unique application. Lift capacity, turning radius, negative lift height, and many other features are all determined by your unique environment and needs.

Wiggins 12-pallet trucks are simple, easy to work on, and dependable. They have good visibility and are the preferred truck by the drivers.
