Marine Forklifts
Toyota forklifts purpose-built for marina and boatyard environments. Backed by Summit Handling’s decades of forklift expertise across New England.
The right forklift for the job. The right partner for the long term.
A marina or boatyard forklift faces demands that a standard warehouse machine was never designed for. Saltwater exposure, uneven surfaces, wet docks, and the need to handle boats, engines, and marine equipment safely all require a purpose-built solution.
Summit Marine Lift, a division of Summit Handling Systems, brings decades of Toyota forklift expertise to the marine environment. We supply, service, and support forklifts specifically suited for marina and boatyard operations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
