 Grip BannerTri-Lift and Clark are proud to announce a new residual value initiative known as the "Great Residual Incentive Program " (G.R.I.P.). This program gives our customers the ability to save on residual leases through lower monthly payments and shorter lease periods on new equipment thereby increasing their flexibility with equipment schedules. Shorter lease terms are an important factor for our customers especially in today's economy. Businesses must adapt quickly to changing business models and market conditions or suffer from them. Monthly payments as low as $199 per month are available on a three year   (36 Month) residual lease. For complete rules and details of the program contact Lee Marsh at 336-691-1511 or lmarsh@tri-liftnc.com

Chain Inspections
TCM newIf your forklift chains are not carefully inspected for wear and properly maintained, ultimately they will fail. This not only could be a safety hazard but also damage your product and other parts of your forklift.  A Chain Inspection will determine your forklifts'  chain condition. We can inspect your chains to determine if there is Elongation, Rust Corrosion, Cracked Plates, Misalignment, Protruding and Turned pins and check the Chain Anchors and Sleeves. Our Safety Inspections page goes in to more details of the benefits.  Contact our Service Department to check your chains today at service@tri-liftnc.com.
