Adaptalift Group We offer a full range of new and used forklifts and specialist equipment from leading manufacturers

Founded by Peter Whiffen & Margaret Whiffen in 1979, Adaptalift started as Forklift Engineering Australia. Peter Whiffen, a mechanical engineer by trade, started designing and manufacturing forklift attachments & bespoke lifting solutions. As demand grew for the rental of these attachments to be supplied with forklifts, Adaptalift Forklift Rentals & Sales was born. Renamed to Adaptalift Group in 2016, the company has grown rapidly to become the largest Australian privately owned and operated forklift company. With a comprehensive range of materials handling solutions, Adaptalift Group is now a leading provider of elevated work platforms, fleet management and telemetry, and has acquired some of the best known name brands in the industry. The company has a fleet of over 10,500 units nationwide and a network of over 30 locations with head offices in VIC, NSW, QLD, WA, SA and TAS.

R U OK? Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that a simple question can make a real difference.

At Adaptalift Group, we’re proud to be a people-focused, family-owned business. While our workplaces can be busy, and the days can move quickly, it’s important that we take the time to look out for the people around us. Our colleagues, our customers, our friends and our families.

Sometimes, asking “Are you OK?” is all it takes to start a conversation.

And if someone says they’re not, take the time to listen. You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply knowing that someone is there to listen can mean more than we realise.

Today, and every day, make the time to ask.

Behind every great business is a story. Behind ours is a family.
This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers, sons, and families who help shape who we are, both at home and at work. Peter and Margaret Whiffen founded Adaptalift Group more than 45 years ago with a vision to build a business that put people and relationships first.

Today, that legacy continues with son Lindsay Whiffen as CEO, alongside Father Peter Whiffen, now as Executive Chairman.

From father to son, generation to generation, the business has evolved considerably, but the importance of family, people and doing things the right way has never changed.

Happy Father’s Day from our family to yours.
