About Us
Welcome, brave souls! You’ve stumbled upon Armill Lift Trucks, a bastion of sanity in the chaotic world of forklifts and heavy machinery. Founded in 1991 by the intrepid Peter and Ann Millar, we began our odyssey as mere mechanics, tinkering away in the grease-stained corners of the industrial jungle. But as fate would have it, we evolved into a full-blown sales operation when Gary Millar jumped aboard in 1995, igniting a firestorm of ambition.
