ITEM  2        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS


RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  1997, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996.

Net  Sales.    Net  sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997, were $38.4
  million, an increase of $2.9 million or 8.0% compared to $35.5 million for the
  three  months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in net sales was attributable
  to significant increases in unit volume of material handlers and service parts
  sales.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997, was $9.3
  million,  an  increase  of $1.0 million or 11.5%, compared to $8.3 million for
  the  three  months  ended  June 30, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of net
  sales  increased to 24.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from 23.4%
  for the three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to improved production
  efficiencies  and  a  more  profitable  sales  mix  within  each product line.

Engineering.    Engineering  expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997
  was  $1.0  million,  an  increase  of  $0.2 million or 20.2%, compared to $0.8
  million  for  the  three months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was due to
  the  addition  of  engineering  personnel  to support new product development.
  
Selling  and  Marketing.   Selling and marketing expenses for the three months
  ended  June  30,  1997, were $1.8 million, the same amount as the three months
  ended  June  30,  1996.

Administrative.    Administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
  1997,  were  $1.8  million,  an increase of $0.4 million or 29.1%, compared to
  $1.4  million  for  the  three  months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was
  primarily attributable to wages and benefits and extra outside security during
  the  three-week  work  stoppage  in  March  and  April.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
  was  $0.2  million,  a  decrease  of  $0.9  million or 83.0%, compared to $1.0
  million  for  the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This decrease in interest
  expense was due to lower borrowings in connection with the debt reduction from
  the  proceeds  of  the  September  3,  1996,  initial  public  offering.

Income  Tax Provision.  Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
  1997, was $1.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 49.1%, compared to $1.1
  million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, and represented an effective
  tax  rate  of  39.1%  and  39.6%,  respectively.

Net  Income.    Income  for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 1997, was $2.6
  million,  an  increase  of $0.9 million or 52.2%, compared to $1.7 million for
  the  three  months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was attributable to the
  increased  sales  volume  and  lower  interest  expense.

Net  Income  Per  Share.  Net income per share for the three months ended June
  30,  1997,  was  $0.29, an increase of $0.01 per share or 3.6% compared to the
  $0.28  per  share for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was
  attributable  to  the  increased  sales  volume  and  lower  interest expense.

Pro  Forma  Net  Income  Per Share.  Net income per share for the three months
  ended  June  30,  1997,  was  $0.29,  an  increase of $0.04 per share or 16.0%
  compared  to  the pro forma net income per share of $0.25 for the three months
  ended  June 30, 1996. The pro forma net income is presented as if the issuance
  of  shares  of  common  stock  pursuant to the initial public offering and the
  application  of  the  net  proceeds  thereof  had occurred on January 1, 1996.

SIX  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE 30, 1997, COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Net  Sales.    Net  sales  for  the six months ended June 30, 1997, were $74.3
  million, an increase of $4.6 million or 6.6% compared to $69.6 million for the
  six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in net sales was attributable to
  a significant increase in volume of material handlers and service parts sales.

Gross  Profit.   Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997, amounted
  to  $17.9  million,  an  increase  of  $1.9 million or 11.9% compared to $16.0
  million  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage
  of  net  sales increased to 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from
  23.0%  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1996, primarily due to improved
  production  efficiencies  and  a more profitable sales mix within each product
  line.

Engineering.   Engineering expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was
  $1.9  million,  an  increase of $0.3 million or 19.6% compared to $1.6 million
  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was due to the addition
  of  engineering  personnel  to  support  new  product  development.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)

Selling  and  Marketing.    Selling  and marketing expenses for the six months
  ended  June  30,  1997, were $3.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 4.6%
  compared  to  $3.4  million  for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1996.  This
  increase  was  primarily  attributable  the addition of marketing personnel to
  support  the  increased  sales  volume.
  
Administrative.    Administrative  expenses  for the six months ended June 30,
  1997, were $3.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 21.8% compared to $2.5
  million  for  the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase was primarily
  attributable  to  wage  and  benefits and extra security during the three-week
  work  stoppage  in  March  and  April.

Interest  Expense.    Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
  was $0.4 million, a decrease of $1.6 million or 79.8% compared to $2.1 million
  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This decrease in interest expense was
  due  to  lower  borrowings  in  connection  with  the  debt reduction from the
  proceeds  of  the  September  3,  1996,  initial  public  offering.

Income  Tax  Provision.   Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30,
  1997,  was $3.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 47.9% compared to $2.3
  million  for  the six months ended June 30, 1996, and represented an effective
  tax  rate  of  39.1%  and  39.2%,  respectively.

Net  Income.  Income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was $5.2 million,
  an  increase  of  $1.7  million  or 48.4% compared to $3.5 million for the six
  months  ended  June  30,  1996.  This increase was attributed to the increased
  sales  volume  and  lower  interest  expense.

Net  Income Per Share.  Net income per share for the six months ended June 30,
  1997,  was  $0.59,  the  same  as for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The
  higher  sales and lower interest expense in 1997 were offset by a lower number
  of  shares  outstanding  in  1996.

Pro Forma Net Income Per Share.  Net income per share for the six months ended
  June 30, 1997, was $0.59, an increase of $0.08 per share, or 15.7% compared to
  the  pro forma net income per share of $0.51 for the six months ended June 30,
  1996.    The  pro  forma  income  is presented as if the issuance of shares of
  common  stock  pursuant  to the initial public offering and the application of
  the  net  proceeds  thereof  had  occurred  on  January  1,  1996.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The  Company  generated  net  cash  from  operating activities of $2.1 million
during  the  first  six  months  of  1997.  Net cash from operating activities
resulted from $5.2 million from net income, $1.0 million from depreciation and
$0.3  million  from post retirement benefit net of deferred taxes.  The sum of
these  operating  activities  prior to changes in working capital totaled $6.5
million  which  was  offset  by  $4.5  million  of net cash used by changes in
operating  assets  and  liabilities,  primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable to support the revenue growth and reduction in accounts payable and
accrued  expenses  primarily for payment of taxes and settlement of prior year
litigation.

For  the  first  six  months  of  1997,  net cash invested in purchases of new
equipment  and  permanent  tooling  was  $1.5  million.  Management expects to
continue  their  multi-year  capital investment program to increase production
productivity  and  product  output  at  the  New  Philadelphia  facility.

For  the first six months of 1997, net borrowings under the Company's lines of
credit  increased  as  a  means  of  funding  cash  requirements for operating
activities  and new equipment purchases and as a result of an increase in lock
box cash receipts for the last day of the month not yet deducted from lines of
credit.

A  substantial amount of the Company's working capital is invested in accounts
receivable  and  inventories.    The  Company  periodically  reviews  accounts
receivable  for  noncollectibility  and  inventories  for  obsolescence  and
establishes  allowances  it  believes  are  appropriate.

As  of June 30, 1997, the Company has borrowed $8.4 million of its $25 million
bank  revolving  credit facility which is secured by most of the assets of the
Company.   Interest is calculated, at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus 1.0%
or  a  commercial  bank's base rate less 0.5% and requires a commitment fee of
0.25%  per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit commitment.  At
June  30,  1997,  $16.6  million was available for future borrowings under the
revolver  and  the  Company  was  in  compliance with all financial covenants.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations and funds available under
its revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund its working capital and
capital  expenditure  requirements  for  the  foreseeable  future.

NEW  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS

In  February,  1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  128,  "Earnings per Share," which is
effective for financial statements issued for periods after December 15, 1997.
This  Statement  simplifies  the  standards  for  computing earnings per share
("EPS") and makes them comparable to international EPS standards.  The Company
will  adopt  the  provisions  of  SFAS for its fiscal year ending December 31,
1997,  but  does  not  expect  such adoption to have a material impact on EPS.
