Company Profile.
In the late 1950’s, on the fertile Oxnard Plain in California, Mel Wiggins had an idea for a machine which would increase the efficiency of agricultural companies and the workers. His innovation, focus on the customers’ needs, and the quality of production made his idea successful. Wiggins Lift Company was born. Building upon those ideas, Wiggins did the same for the construction industry. Within a few decades, the expanded into other areas and became a global supplier of high-capacity material-handling machines
Wiggins Lift Company, supported by Nationwide Handling throughout Australasia have a strong reputation for customer service and exceptional machines. The craftsmen and designers (some who have been with company over 30 years) use the latest computer-assisted engineering, manufacturing, and planning tools to create, produce machines tailored to the needs of each customer, at price points that challenge standard assembly line units. Many of these solutions have led to breakthrough technologies, such as uniquely modified steer axles and Wiggins’ patented Stability Control™ and Stable Lift™ technologies.
Designed for efficiency, ease of maintenance and a team of quality support networks across the world, it is no wonder we are the leaders in individualized machinery.
