Flames, Neons, and Skull Shifters for Your Forklift

A lot of people will tell you that creating your own niche market is a lot better than joining one already in progress. A lot of people didn't know it at the time, but they really wanted to pimp out their company's forklifts.

Oakville based MasterLift have been doing it for anyone willing to pay up for the past three months. Xzibit might have a laugh at the fact that they haven't bothered to throw an Xbox 360 into a lift yet, but that isn't stopping the company from putting blue neons under the warehouse work horses.

Did I mention you can customize your own lift, including the lift operator? Check out the blogTO Pimped Lift, after the jump.

Not too shabby! I'd like a few more font options, red neons and maybe some capital lettering, but be damned if that isn't pretty forking nifty. Masterlift have only been offering the service for three months and have already completed 20 custom forklifts. When this first debuted the options were somewhat lacking, but with another dozen or so choices in drivers, I'm not complaining!

If you want to make your own customized forklift, check out the Pimp My Lift website. You might wanna turn the volume down, though.

How is this related to anything Toronto?  Who here owns their own fork lift and who here will ever own one?  blah Pluggin a great product is one thing.  Plugging a friends useless service is another.

<p>They&#39;re based in Oakville. Not everything has to relate to Spadina and Queen Street.</p><p>Lots of people use, and or own forklifts.&nbsp; They ain&#39;t as common as, I dunno, <em>the telephone</em>, but they are used in pretty much every warehouse and manufacturing plant on the planet. In case you didn&#39;t know, a lot of people work in these places. </p><p>&nbsp;And I also don&#39;t know the first names of anyone who works at MasterLift. </p>

<p>That&#39;s so cool. Problem is I can&#39;t get my daughter (14 years old) off of this site. Good for them to be so creative though. All I know is that if I was a forklift driver I&#39;d want my lift pimped. Good one Ryan!</p>

I think it's a cool place. I have a custom lift that I just completed and folks around here love to see it.

Wow this forklift has a nice style and it is pleasing to the eyes, I just hope that there are more forklifts like this.
