Florida Forklift Supply (FFL) was founded in 1986 by Marty and Pam Schellinger.  FFL’s mission was to sell a quality product at an economical price, backed by excellent customer service.  Obviously this worked, as the company grew.

In 1994, the company expanded to their current site of 5000 square feet.  FFL continued to assist all types of companies in manufacturing, distribution and independent and dealer service mechanics.  During this time, FFL became a leader, in the Southeastern states, in sales for aftermarket forklift parts.

May 1st, 2008, Eli Durante purchased Florida Forklift Supply and contributes over 25 years of unprecedented experience to the helm of Florida Forklift Supply, LLC.

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Eli came to the USA in 1967 as a professional soccer player.  He played in the NSAL from 1967 to 1976, during which he played against the world re-known, Pele.

During 1981, Eli and Ben Schwark founded Tiger Tractor Corp. For over 20 years, Tiger Tractor Corporation became a strong force in the Airline Ground Support Industry by producing the very rugged Tiger Tow Tractor and the very reliable Tiger Belt Loader. You can find Tiger Tow tractors and Belt Loaders in airports worldwide.  Tiger Corporation was also a leading supplier of spare parts for the Airline Ground Support Industry, domestic and overseas.

Today, FFL continues to concentrate on the aftermarket forklift spare parts business and has now added the GSE/Airline parts.
