Founded in 1979, our firm started as an equipment repair company under the stewardship of John Eisler.  Early on, the company saw a need to offer its customers material handling equipment and developed a sales team that included John’s brother, Elwood.

In 1994, as equipment sales outpaced service work, we changed our corporate name to Alden Equipment, Inc.

Over the years, the sales scope of our business has significantly increased.   In 2008, Alden Equipment entered into a long-term GSA contract with the US Government for international supply of material handling equipment.

Alden’s customers now cover the globe.

Situated in Amsterdam, New York, Alden  we now offer over 170,000 individual products to customers in all time zones.  Our products include Forklifts, Aerial Lifts, Warehouse Equipment, Parts & Service.

Alden continues to partner with industry leading manufacturers to bring new and better products to our customers.  Our corporate partners include Omega Lift, SkyJack, Narrow Aisle, Tailift, Chrisman Manufacturing, Snorkel, Multiton, BBI, and Continental Tire.

From day one, our mission has been to deliver to our customers a broad range of material handling solutions at an affordable price.
