What Air Technical Industries does

Air Technical Industries (ATI) is a US-based original equipment manufacturer of industrial material handling equipment, founded in 1964 and headquartered at 7501 Clover Ave., Mentor, Ohio, where it operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified factory. The company designs and builds a catalog of more than 2,500 standard product models spanning two core lines — cranes (reversible boom cranes, floor cranes, beam cranes, truck-mounted cranes, below-the-hook lifting devices) and lift tables (Zero-Low scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts, lift-and-tilt, dock lifts, upenders and positioners) — plus specialty products including the MIRA Mobile Industrial Robotic Arm and Tug Master tractor systems. Capacities range from 50 lbs to 60,000 lbs, with proprietary technologies such as Zero-Low lift table profiles as low as 3/8 inch and, most recently, an all-electric knuckle boom crane with screw actuator that eliminates hydraulics. The business serves vertical segments including general manufacturing, aerospace and aviation, US defense, food processing, pharmaceutical, energy (including nuclear power), automotive, oil and gas, and transportation, with documented custom projects for the International Space Station, nuclear power plants, and the F-35 Lightning II engine program.

ATI operates a dual go-to-market motion: consultative enterprise direct sales (Request a Quote, Challenge Us engineering intake, phone, email with one-business-day response) for custom and complex applications, paired with a self-service e-commerce storefront at shop.airtechnical.com for configuring and purchasing standard products. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue streams consist of standard product hardware sales, custom engineered solutions, and aftermarket technical support and replacement parts. The company is privately held, family-owned since founding, with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries. Distribution extends through the owned e-commerce channel, the ThomasNet industrial marketplace, and direct field sales primarily focused on the North American market. The marketing program combines a blog, resource center, testimonials, and presence on YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and Facebook.
