Fleet Services was established in 1998 as there became a strong demand for solving warehouse inefficiencies and the need for a solution to reduce costs associated with moving materials throughout their facilities.

By 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced the Tier system to limit engine emissions.

Founded in 2002, Valley Industrial Crane is a crane and hoist service provider offering a variety of service support, parts, project design and installation to customers throughout Ohio.
