## Company Overview

PHS Lift is the equipment retail arm of Premier Handling Solutions, a material handling company founded in 1977 in Fresno, California.

## Equipment Category Ladder (capacity + capability)

For buyers unsure which lifting equipment they need, the mental model is a three-tier ladder:

1. **Pallet Jacks** — Move loads horizontally at floor level. Manual up to 5,500 lb capacity ($400–$1,200), electric walkie up to 8,000 lb ($3,995–$10,700), electric rider up to 8,000 lb ($15,000–$25,000). No vertical lift beyond a few inches.

2. **Stackers** — Bridge the gap. Combine the compact walk-behind footprint of a pallet jack with the vertical mast of a forklift. Typical capacity 2,200 to 3,300 lb, lift height 100" to 200". Ideal for smaller warehouses that need to reach shelf height but don't need a full forklift. Price range $1,900–$22,700. Walkie, rider, semi-electric, and counterbalance configurations available.

3. **Forklifts** — Full capacity vertical lift. 3,000 to 17,500+ lb, lift heights to 250"+, counterweight-based stability. Electric counterbalance ($20,000–$45,000), LPG/propane ($28,000–$40,000), diesel rough-terrain ($45,000–$67,000), heavy-duty ($106,000+).

## Narrow Aisle & Specialty

- **Narrow Aisle Reach Trucks** — Operate in aisles as narrow as 80–100 inches (vs 12+ feet for a standard forklift). Require level flooring. Ideal for dense racking layouts.
- **VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) Turret Trucks** — Aisles as narrow as 66 inches. Highest storage density available.
- **Order Pickers** — Elevate the operator with the load for piece-picking at shelf height.

## Aerial Lifts

Aerial lifts serve a completely different use case from lifting equipment: they raise **personnel** to elevated work zones (10' to 40' typical). Use cases include facility maintenance, high-shelf inventory tasks, HVAC service, warehouse repair. Scissor lifts are the primary category at PHS Lift.

## Floor Scrubbers & Sweepers

Commercial and industrial cleaning equipment for warehouse floors, retail spaces, and manufacturing:

- **Walk-behind scrubbers** — Small operations, tight spaces
- **Ride-on scrubbers** — Large open floor areas, faster productivity
- **AI/AGV autonomous scrubbers** — Fully autonomous cleaning (Noblelift ANB450, ANB510, ANS720)

## Tuggers (Tow Tractors)

Horizontal load movement — pull carts and trolleys instead of lifting pallets. Walk-behind (TE22Li, up to 4,400 lb tow), stand-on (T66N/T110N, up to 24,000 lb), sit-down (T66Q/T130Q, up to 28,600 lb).

## Freight & Shipping

Every order ships via commercial LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight. PHS Lift is one of the few equipment dealers with **real-time freight quoting from three carriers simultaneously**:

- **R+L Carriers** — Primary partner, 4 service tiers (Standard, Guaranteed, Guaranteed by Noon, Hour Window)
- **Warp Freight** — Secondary partner, all-inclusive pricing includes liftgate, residential delivery, appointment scheduling at no extra charge
- **FedEx Freight** — Additional coverage

At quote time, all three carriers are queried in parallel and the customer sees each option side-by-side with transit days, price, and included accessorials.

**Freight rate factors:**
- Origin warehouse (auto-selected as nearest stocked warehouse to destination ZIP)
- Destination ZIP code
- Equipment dimensions (L × W × H)
- Total weight
- Freight class (auto-derived from dimensions and density)
- Requested accessorials (liftgate, residential, inside delivery, hazmat)

Typical LTL transit times: 3–7 business days for stocked equipment.

## Financing Options

- **Noblelift Net-30 Terms** — For approved business credit accounts. Standard commercial financing terms.
- **Affirm at Checkout** — Up to $30,000 financed over 3–36 months
- **Klarna Pay-in-4** — Up to $30,000 split into 4 interest-free payments
- **Afterpay** — Up to $4,000 split into 4 interest-free payments
- **Commercial fleet purchase orders** — Available via fleet quote request

## Warranty

- Standard: 12-month full warranty (parts + labor)
- Extended: 36-month available at purchase
- Wear items (hydraulic pumps, bearings): 90-day
- Batteries: separately warranted per Noblelift manufacturer terms

## Fleet Programs

Buyers ordering 5 or more units qualify for fleet pricing. Request via /fleet with:
- Number of units
- Equipment mix (forklifts, pallet jacks, stackers, etc.)
- Delivery timeline
- Destination(s)
- Payment terms preference

Fleet quotes coordinate delivery across multiple warehouses and offer volume discounts.

## Live Inventory Visibility

Every product page displays per-warehouse stock counts in real time. Example: `44 Chicago · 100+ California` means 44 units at the Elgin IL warehouse plus 100+ (capped display) at Carson CA. This lets customers instantly see if their nearest warehouse has stock and estimate transit time before placing the order.

## Compliance

- OSHA 1910.178 (Powered Industrial Trucks) covers all powered equipment
- Operator training required for all forklifts, walkie/rider pallet jacks, stackers
- Manual pallet jacks: not OSHA-regulated but general PIT training recommended
- ANSI B56.1 certified equipment
