guidelines. The products meet strict ASME/ANSI industry standards. See the Products here.
If the equipment looks familar it is because
many of the automotive equipment supplies Made in the USA come from a long line of
popular manufactures. In mid 20th century there was Blackhawk red,
Hein-Werner orange and Walker
blue. Lincoln Automotive bought Walker
and started a reign that lasted over twenty years. Hein-Werner and
Blackhawk merged and then in the early nineties were bought by Lincoln Automotive.
Then Lincoln
tried to stay competitive by manufacturing overseas. They were unable to
maintain quality and soon sold out. The purchasers maintained the
overseas manufacturing and did no better than Lincoln had done. Finally a company
with deep overseas manufacturing roots saw a need for a good USA Made
product. In 2003 Shinn Fu Company of America bought the Marquette
Lifting and Porto-Power Collision Repair Equipment. In 2004, after
extensive retooling, they introduced the Hein-Werner Automotive Lifting
equipment and re-launched the Porto-Power Collision Repair Equipment Line. In
late 2007 they brought the products that had been made in Mexico home to the US. With that move they increased
the US Made number of maintenance equipment to 51
items.
