3. PUBLIC  OFFERING:

On  September  3,  1996,  the  Company completed an initial public offering in
which  2,950,000  shares  of common stock were issued for a total sum of $29.5
million.    Expenses  incurred  in connection with the issue approximated $2.6
million.    The  net  proceeds  of  the  offering  were  used  as  follows:

     Repay  outstanding  senior  term  debt          $    9,550
     Repay  subordinate  debt                            10,000
     Redeem  preferred  stock                             2,000
     Reduce  revolving  credit  liability                 5,379

In  connection  with  the  offering,  the  Company increased the number of its
authorized  shares  of  common  stock  from 2,200 to 18,000,000 and effected a
5,540  to  1  stock  split.  All applicable share and per share data have been
retroactively  adjusted  for  the  stock  split.

4. CONTINGENCIES:

The  Company  is  involved  in  certain  claims  and litigation related to its
operations.    Based  upon  the facts known at this time, management is of the
opinion  that  the ultimate outcome of all such claims and litigation will not
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  financial condition or results of
operations  of  the  Company.

5. UNION  CONTRACT:

The Company's production workers, represented by the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, ratified a new three-year agreement after
a  three-week work stoppage.  They returned to work on April 14th.  Management
believes  the  work stoppage will not have a material adverse impact on either
the  operations  or  the  financial  condition  of  the  Company.

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


RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  MARCH 31, 1997, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996.

Net  Sales.    Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were $35.9
million, an increase of $1.8 million or 5.2% compared to $34.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in net sales was attributable
to  a  significant increase in unit volume of material handlers and a moderate
increase  in  service  parts.

Gross  Profit.    Gross  profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
$8.6  million,  an increase of $0.9 million or 12.4%, compared to $7.7 million
for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of
net  sales  increased to 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, from
22.5%  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996, primarily due to improved
production  efficiencies  and  economies  of  higher  production  volume.

Engineering.    Engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
was  $0.9  million,  an  increase  of  $0.1 million or 19.0%, compared to $0.8
million  for  the three months ended March 31, 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  March 31, 1997, were $1.7 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 8.1%,
compared  to  $1.6  million  for  the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This
increase  is  attributable  to  the  addition  of  field  sales  and  service
representatives  and interest subsidy for a higher number of dealer floor plan
units.

Administrative.   Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1997,  were  $1.3  million,  an increase of $0.2 million or 13.3%, compared to
$1.2  million  for  the  three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase was
primarily  attributable  to  higher  outside  professional  services.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
was  $0.2  million,  a  decrease  of  $0.8  million or 76.5%, compared to $1.0
million  for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31,
1997, was $1.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 46.8%, compared to $1.2
million  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996,  and represented an
effective  tax  rate  of  39.1%  and  38.8%,  respectively.

Net  Income.    Income  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1997, was $2.7
million,  an  increase  of $0.8 million or 44.9%, compared to $1.8 million for
the  three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase was attributable to the
increased  sales  volume  and  lower  interest  expense.

Net  Income  Per Share.  Net income per share decreased to $0.30 for the three
months  ended  March 31, 1997, from $0.31 for the three months ended March 31,
1996,  as  a  result of a higher number of shares outstanding from the initial
public  offering.

Pro  Forma  Net  Income  Per Share.  Net income per share for the three months
ended  March  31,  1997,  was  $0.30, an increase of $0.04 per share, or 15.4%
compared  to  the pro forma net income per share of $0.26 for the three months
ended  March  31,  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.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The  Company used net cash for operating activities of $0.8 million during the
first  three  months of 1997. Net cash from operating activities resulted from
$2.7  million from net income, $0.4 million from depreciation and $0.2 million
from  post  retirement  benefit  net  of  deferred  taxes.    The sum of these
operating  activities prior to changes in working capital totaled $3.3 million
which  was  offset  by  $4.1  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  settlement  of  prior  year  litigation.

For  the  first  three  months  of 1997, net cash invested in purchases of new
equipment  and  permanent  tooling  was  $0.8  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 three 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  March  31,  1997,  the  Company  has borrowed $12.6 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  March  31,  1997,  $12.4  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,  FASB  issued  SFAS  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 128 for its fiscal year ending December 31,
1997,  but  does  not  expect  such adoption to have a material impact on EPS.
