Our Story

From One Man's Vision to the Region's Trusted Partner

In 1996, Bill started Material Solutions with a straightforward belief: warehouse operators deserved better than what the equipment market was giving them. Too many hidden costs. Too many machines that looked good on paper but fell apart on the floor. Too little honesty.

He set out to change that. Starting with a handful of reconditioned narrow aisle forklifts and a commitment to transparency, Bill built the business one relationship at a time. No advertising gimmicks, no pressure tactics — just quality machines at fair prices, backed by someone who would answer the phone when something went wrong.

Twenty-seven years later, that approach has grown Material Solutions into one of the tri-state area's most respected names in material handling. We carry roughly 50-75 reconditioned units from Raymond, Toyota, and Crown at any given time. We've expanded into OSHA training, wire-guided systems, and warehouse racking. But the foundation hasn't changed.

We still believe the best business is built on handshakes, not hard sells. And we still pick up the phone.

Our Values

What We Stand For

These aren't words on a wall. They're the principles we operate by every single day — and the reason customers keep coming back.

Quality Without Compromise

Every unit goes through a rigorous multi-point inspection and reconditioning process before it earns a spot on our floor. We sell what we'd use ourselves.

Transparent Pricing

No games, no bait-and-switch. Every price is listed upfront on every listing. What you see is what you pay — we built our reputation on that.

Relationship Over Transaction

We're not optimizing for a single sale. We're building partnerships that span decades. Most of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

Specialist Knowledge

Narrow aisle equipment is all we do. That focus means we know Raymond, Crown, and Toyota machines inside and out — and we pass that expertise to you.
