Harrow, Ontario, Canada, - On April, 20, 2016, at the young age of 97 years, Walter Sellick along with sons Howard Sellick – President, David Sellick- Vice President, and grandson Colin Sellick – Systems Manager, had a ground breaking ceremony for a new multi-million dollar, 120,000 square feet facility. "In order to compete on a global scale, we needed to expand and build a state-of-the -art plant" said Howard Sellick. Sellick Equipment has been manufacturing rough terrain and truck mounted forklifts for over 47 years to a variety of industries including building supply yards, engineered wood products, automotive recycling, oil field services, mining and military applications. In recent years, a new generation of forklifts was introduced featuring enhanced ergonomics, environmentally-friendly diesel engines, and increased lift capacities. Sellick products are supported by a nationwide dealer network providing superior parts and service needs.
