Our Founder’s Story:
Peter Whiffen, a mechanical engineer by trade, started designing and manufacturing forklift attachments and bespoke lifting solutions.
Margret Whiffen’s background in the banking industry saw her finance and operations skills support the growing business.
As demand grew for the rental of custom forklift attachments, Adaptalift Forklift Rentals & Sales was born.
