In 1982 Rick, along with his parents, Delbert and Zada
Grindstaff formed Grindstaff Engines, Inc. using home based facilities
and abilities acquired working for others. Very quickly the need to
expand was apparent and a machine shop was formed by purchasing new
and used equipment. After two more expansions our facility now has
approximatly 14,000 square feet in a quiet industrial park in our
hometown of Independence, Missouri. Rick's dad Delbert retired in 1994
and Rick's mom Zada retired in 2002. Rick's wife, Teresa, has brought
her many skills into the buisness, and their son, Henry, maintains
this web site and works in the machine shop. A highly skilled crew of
machinists and technicians perform the tasks of rebuilding the engines
and the many components.
When calling Grindstaff Engines, you will find fast, courteous help
with a broad knowledge base of industrial forklift engines from the
1930's to current engines being used today. Even if you have nothing
to purchase, but have a service question we will be more than happy
to serve you. Please give us a call!
