Tough Conditions Call for Smarter Solutions
Your yard isn’t standard, and your equipment shouldn’t be either.
Concrete operations face challenges like dust, heavy loads, moisture, and uneven surfaces. At Lonestar Forklift, we understand these factors and design solutions around them to keep your team safe, productive, and protected from costly downtime.
Equipment That’s Built for Your Yard
No two concrete yards are the same. That's why our approach begins with your operation, not with a stock list. We develop equipment plans based on the realities of your workflow, layout, and handling needs.
Whether you're moving pipe, precast vaults, block pallets, or rebar cages, we’ll align you with the equipment types that perform best in your conditions:
- High-capacity forklifts for molds, vaults, and oversized materials
- Mid-size forklifts for daily yard work and block movement
- Rough terrain forklifts for all-weather, uneven ground navigation
- Telehandlers for precision placement and versatile handling
- Specialized clamps and attachments to move materials securely
The solution we build for you will be as unique as your yard.

Forklifts
From pipe yards to precast plants, Lonestar Forklift delivers heavy-duty machines built to survive concrete environments. We offer a wide range of high-capacity forklifts from trusted brands like Hyundai, Carer, Manitou, and Konecranes—each matched to your specific load and site conditions. With lift capacities up to 143,000 lbs and customizable attachments like clamps, vices, and fork extensions, our units can safely move everything from green concrete forms to long pipe sections. Need to work in rough weather or uneven yards? We’ve got rugged, outdoor-ready models designed to perform where standard forklifts fail.
Telehandlers
Telehandlers are the go-to solution for concrete sites that need reach, visibility, and rugged power. Whether you're placing forms, stacking product, or lifting materials where forklifts can’t reach, Lonestar’s telehandler lineup is designed for strength and control on tough terrain. We supply both rotating and fixed boom models with a range of lift heights and load capacities, plus attachments like buckets, forks, and jibs to handle whatever your yard demands. Ideal for outdoor precast plants, batch facilities, or jobsites with tight access and height restrictions.
Training
A well-trained operator doesn’t just drive safely, they protect your equipment, your uptime, and your bottom line. Our tailored training programs are built for the demands of concrete production, with a focus on rough terrain handling, attachment safety, and high-capacity load awareness. Whether you’re onboarding new staff or need refresher training for an experienced team, we offer flexible on-site courses led by certified instructors. We also provide training records and documentation to help keep your site compliant and your team confident on the job.
Proactive Maintenance
Don’t wait for breakdowns to stop production. Our Proactive Maintenance programs are built specifically for high-dust, high-wear environments like concrete yards. From routine inspections and scheduled greasing to custom service intervals and emergency support, we help extend equipment life and reduce costly downtime. Our technicians understand the wear patterns common to precast and pipe applications—and we use that insight to keep your fleet running efficiently, shift after shift. Whether you manage five units or fifty, we’ll build a maintenance plan that fits your schedule and your operation.
