So who is UCA?

UCA is an American company that designs, manufacturers and supports a complete line of material handling equipment. They are part of a global industrial powerhouse, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Forklift & Engine Turbocharger Holdings, Ltd. (M-FET), which is now the third ranked forklift manufacturer in the world.

UCA has an extremely rich heritage. While the UniCarriers name has only been around a short while, the company is made up of three companies that span more than 100 years. Barrett Industrial Trucks was founded in 1914, and was a pioneer in bringing a new generation of electric powered equipment to the material handling market. TCM founded the forklift manufacturing industry in Japan, producing the first ever Japan-made forklift in 1949. Nissan Forklift began operations in 1957. With its acquisition of Barrett in 1988, it became the first Japanese manufacturer of all five classes of material handling equipment in the U.S.

“Throughout the years our brand name may have changed, but our product quality has not,” shared James J. Radous III, President of UCA. “In fact, our product quality has grown stronger. Over the years we have applied learnings to give our clients second-to-none product reliability, higher productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.”
