Big Lift LLC (Booth C6085) has acquired ePicker (B2427), a fast-growing materials handling equipment provider. Since its launch in 2021, ePicker has built a network of material handling distributors that market its portfolio of electric pallet jacks, stackers, access vehicles and lithium-ion-powered forklifts in North America.
Big Lift currently distributes Big Joe Forklifts, a North American materials handling brand founded in 1951. Big Joe pioneered the Class III “walk-behind” lift truck market segment and continues to build its broad portfolio of powered walk-behind lift trucks.
“This acquisition is an important part of Big Lift’s strategy to become the market leader in lithium-powered material handling solutions and, specifically, the industry leader in lithium forklifts in North America,” said Big Lift President Dan Rosskamm.
Big Joe channel will continue to focus on innovative niche products and in-between-handling applications while EP will primarily focus on “purpose-built” lithium-ion forklifts.
