IMT Today

We stay close to our markets. IMT pays strict attention to detail when it comes to product design, manufacturing, testing, and support. Customer-driven features are incorporated into each of our products to fit your specific application needs.

We’re a people-oriented company that pays attention to the voice of the customer, and uses that knowledge to meet your expectations and exceed industry standards.

Our testing processes include finite element analysis, strain gauge testing, and life expectancy testing. Nothing is left to chance, so customers can have the utmost confidence in our products.

Today we use such world-class production techniques as one-piece flow production, KanBan supermarket inventory management, and lean manufacturing, and employ Six Sigma principles to enhance product availability and customer satisfaction. We also have state-of-the-art equipment to support our fabrication processes, robotic welding, machining operations, multi-stage paint systems, six final stage assembly lines, and a comprehensive testing and quality control process, all of which work together to give our equipment its superior quality.

It begins with the laser technology that assures superior edge quality and dimension control in our steel-cutting process. We use robotic welding for precise weld control and increased production, and state-of-the-art machining centers to make sure all boom and cylinder pins fit properly and all bearing surfaces are precise. Our multi-stage paint process cleans and paints the components, then bakes the paint for a complete finish. The product is then assembled on our one-piece flow final stage assembly lines before undergoing a final comprehensive test process to insure that the finished product meets our quality standards.

IMT offers the most dependable surface protection in the industry: DuPont™ Imron^® 5000 polyurethane finish, known for its long-lasting gloss, durability, and chemical resistance. Preparation is key, so after rotoblasting to remove all mill scale and rust, we employ a five-step prep process: chemical prewash, water rinse, phosphatizing, water rinse, and a reverse osmosis rinse that eliminates mineral deposits before the paint goes on. From there, highly trained technicians apply the coatings, which use the most advanced UV screeners and light stabilizers to stand up to rough weather and industrial chemicals. Tests prove Imron is unsurpassed in retaining gloss and clarity of finish, and in resisting chips, abrasions, chemicals, and pollutants.

IMT has been meeting the needs of multiple markets for over 40 years, but none of it would be possible without a dealer network that’s second to none. All across the country, IMT dealers offer fast, knowledgeable service and the ability to help customers find the right IMT product for every application. It’s hard to tell which is stronger — our products or our dealer network.  

For fleets of any size, our commitment to you is evident in our ValuePlus Fleet Management^SM system, an online program that provides you with the information necessary to reduce operating expenses, maximize vehicle utilization, develop proper replacement cycles, and view comparisons to similar vehicles worldwide.

But our commitment doesn’t end there. Our optional Diamond Shield™ warranty protects your investment — the body, crane, and compressed air system on qualified IMT commercial vehicles — for a full 36 months, and keeps you running like new with genuine IMT parts for planned maintenance intervals.

When you’re looking for reliable equipment that enhances your ability to do your job, remember IMT. Because nothing says commitment like the diamond.
