40 Years of Donkey
The Donkey story began in 1985 with a commitment to grit and a refusal to be outworked. Out in the Colorado Rockies, Ken Ensor looked at the legendary mining donkeys of the region and saw a blueprint for the perfect machine: compact, relentless, and capable of navigating the toughest terrain. He turned that vision into the first truck-mounted forklift — a revolutionary tool that didn’t just meet a need, it defined a new standard for the American worker.Today, that legacy has a permanent home in Bay Springs, Mississippi. Every Donkey forklift that leaves our facility still carries the DNA of Ken’s original design, fueled by the same innovation, integrity, and American craftsmanship that has defined the brand from day one.
ALL DONKEY FORKLIFTS ARE MADE IN THE USA
