Our Company
Mission
“To provide exceptional service and stand by the promise to put our customers first while offering the expertise to support a smooth, safe, and cost-efficient material handling operation.”
Overview
Founded in 1985 by William F. Medico, Action Lift has grown into Northeastern Pennsylvania’s leading material-handling specialist. For 40 years, we’ve delivered trusted equipment solutions backed by a commitment to exceptional customer service. In December 2025, Action Lift was acquired by Lift, Inc., a dynamic material-handling company based in Central Pennsylvania and a proud Crown Equipment Corporation dealer.
With the addition of Lift Automation to our lineup of customer-focused solutions, we now offer industry-leading design, integration, and servicing, helping our customers operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
This partnership strengthens our capabilities and expands the solutions we bring to our customers. Our commitment remains the same—Customer Support is Our #1 Priority!
At Action Lift, we abide by 30 fundamental business practices called THE ACTION LIFT WAY.
