Bringing holiday cheer one forklift at a time
For the past eight years, the town of Winters, Calif., has offered its Tractor Parade as a way to mark the beginning of the Christmas holiday season and celebrate its agricultural heritage. Well, this past December, parade-goers who were expecting only tractors were treated to a brightly lit 10054 Skytrak forklift with an illuminated American flag on the front of the basket – all thanks to the team at I-80 Forklift in neighboring Vacaville, Calif.

2020 : Adopt a Local Graduating Senior
I-80 Forklift participated in “adopting" a local 2020 graduating Senior with a basket of goodies. The purpose of this event is to " celebrate our Seniors… show them how special they are and to send them something special!"
“I-80 Forklift adopted this beautiful young lady who inspires to go to medical school in the Fall. Although she will not get to experience creating a lifetime memory of walking the stage to receive her diploma, our hope was this small gesture will give her a fond memory of her graduating year." Says Michelle Strand.
