Carolina Handling continues 58th anniversary celebration with 58 for 58 Season of service

In 2024, to celebrate its 58th anniversary in business, Carolina Handling donated 58 Raymond motorized pallet jacks to hunger relief organizations throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama. The company is extending its anniversary celebration by donating 58 hours of service to qualifying nonprofits with material handling equipment needing repair.

“Many of the nonprofits we visited over the past few months while delivering pallet jacks have forklifts or pallet trucks that no longer operate, but there are no resources to cover repairs,” said Carolina Handling Chief Operating Officer Joe Perkins. “With a team of more than 425 technicians who maintain all lift truck brands and models, service is our specialty, so we’re expanding our 58th-anniversary celebration by donating 58 hours of service to hunger relief organizations throughout our territory.”

In its new fiscal year, which began April 1, Carolina Handling turned its philanthropic focus to hunger relief, launching a 58-for-58 motorized pallet jack giveaway to help lighten the load for those who receive, store, and distribute thousands of pounds of food each year in their communities.

The 58 organizations that received a pallet jack from Carolina Handling combine to serve 11.2 million individuals each year throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida, distributing 290 million pounds of food.

“The logistics of moving thousands of pounds of food can be overwhelming to organizations that don’t have reliable, safe equipment and processes,” Perkins said. “That’s where companies like Carolina Handling specializing in material handling solutions can help.”
