About Pioneer Engine Co

A Legacy of Excellence Built on Generations of Expertise

For over five decades, Pioneer Engine Company has earned its reputation as America’s premier forklift engine remanufacturing specialist through unwavering dedication to quality, precision craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. What began as a father-son operation in 1970 has evolved into a industry-leading facility that sets the standard for excellence in industrial engine remanufacturing.

Our Reputation: Earned Through Consistent Performance

Our reputation in the forklift engine industry wasn’t built overnight—it’s the result of 55 years of delivering exceptional results, one engine at a time. When you’ve remanufactured thousands of engines and served countless businesses across the United States, your reputation becomes your most valuable asset. Fleet managers, warehouse operators, and maintenance professionals throughout the country specifically seek out Pioneer Engine because they’ve heard from industry peers about the superior quality and longevity of our remanufactured engines.

Our commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry is evident in our continuous investment in facilities and equipment. The 2013 expansion to our current 15,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility demonstrates our dedication to providing the best possible service. This modern workspace houses advanced machining equipment that allows us to restore every Nissan forklift engine, Mitsubishi forklift engine, GM forklift engine, and Toyota forklift engine to precise factory specifications—or better.

The Reliability You Can Depend On

What makes our engines reliable isn’t magic—it’s methodical attention to detail and refusal to compromise on quality. Every Toyota forklift engine, GM forklift engine, Nissan forklift engine, and Mitsubishi forklift engine we remanufacture undergoes the same rigorous process regardless of price point or customer size. We source only premium components because we know that cutting corners on parts quality inevitably leads to premature failures and disappointed customers.

Our experienced technicians bring decades of collective knowledge to every rebuild. They understand the unique stresses that forklift engines endure—constant stop-and-start cycles, heavy loads, extended idling periods, and demanding warehouse environments. This specialized knowledge informs every decision in the remanufacturing process, from bearing selection to torque specifications to final testing procedures.

The reliability of our engines is proven daily in distribution centers, manufacturing plants, lumber yards, and shipping facilities nationwide. These aren’t easy applications—they’re among the most demanding environments an engine will ever face. When businesses depend on our remanufactured engines to keep critical operations running, and those engines consistently deliver year after year, that’s the ultimate validation of our approach.
