Donkey Forklifts expands Texas dealer network with Shoppa’s Material Handling.

New authorized dealer strengthens local sales, service, and support across Texas

FORT WORTH, Texas Donkey Forklifts is continuing to expand its dealer network with the addition of Shoppa’s Material Handling as its newest authorized dealer, strengthening access to American-made truck-mounted forklifts for customers across Texas.

With nine locations serving key markets throughout the state, Shoppa’s brings more than 40 years of material handling expertise and a proven ability to help businesses improve productivity.

“Shoppa’s has the scale, reputation, and customer-first values we look for in a dealer,” said Bradley Holder, Vice President of Sales for Donkey Forklifts. “They have built an outstanding reputation by helping customers solve operational challenges, not just sell equipment.”

Family owned and operated since 1981, Shoppa’s Material Handling has grown into one of the nation’s leading material handling dealerships. The company provides equipment, rentals, parts, service, automation, and warehouse solutions while helping customers improve efficiency across a wide range of industries.

“We’re excited to partner with Donkey Forklifts and expand our material handling portfolio with a proven truck-mounted forklift solution,” said Jason Bratton, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. “This partnership allows us to better serve customers in industries like building materials, lumber, agriculture, and construction who need efficient unloading and delivery capabilities in the field. By adding Donkey to our lineup, we’re continuing our commitment to providing customers with the right equipment for every application, backed by the sales, service, and support they’ve come to expect from Shoppa’s.”

For operations in building materials, lumber, agriculture, construction, and other demanding industries, reducing equipment weight can mean more payload on every load. Donkey’s lineup of mechanical, hydrostatic, and electric truck-mounted forklifts is engineered to maximize payload, improve maneuverability, and simplify material handling in the field.

As Donkey Forklifts celebrates 40 years of American-made innovation, the addition of Shoppa’s Material Handling continues the company’s focus on pairing industry-leading equipment with experienced local support throughout North America.
