Listen to this article

Carter Lumber is one of the nation’s top building materials retailer. Russ Murphy, operations manager at Carter Lumber, says they chose Cat® lift trucks to “provide us with a reliable machine to take care of our customers’ needs.”

Whether going over gravel, stone or mud – in rain, snow or sun – the employees of Carter Lumber don’t stop and neither do their lift trucks.

“From the lid that keeps the guys from getting rained on to the dual wheels on the front so that you don’t get stuck in the mud or in the snow on a nasty-weather day,” says Dave Calkins, corporate department manager, Carter Lumber, “some of the smallest things make your day easier.”

Carter Lumber works with 13 dealers across its 146 locations to keep their forklifts running at peak performance.
