A sincere welcome from Rick & Patti Peterson, founders and owners.

My wife Patti and I built PowerLift’s sterling reputation by maintaining an unfailing commitment to innovation, quality and customer support.

I started up my welding shop in Lake Benton, Minnesota in 1988, introducing North America’s first production hydraulic door line in 1992.

PowerLift door designs are recognized as the gold standard across the aviation, agriculture, commercial and architectural door industry. Soon after their introduction, interest in PowerLift doors began developing across North America, so we built an expanded production facility.

We soon realized it’s simply not possible to provide personalized custom manufacturing, delivery, installation, and support for an entire continent from a single manufacturing location. This realization led to our unique business model and consequent rapid expansion.

We began partnering with steel fabricators who share our customer-centered quality and service ideals. Today, instead of just one production facility, PowerLift has 40+ manufacturing and service centers across North America.

Our business model offers our customers single source accountability, thanks to local fabrication, delivery, installation and support. You’ll appreciate our industry-exclusive all-welded designs and continuing support that are part of every new or retrofit PowerLift project.

Sincerely,
Rick and Patti Peterson.
