Product

IMT was founded in 1961, initially revamping tire re-capping molds.  Through a series of innovations, IMT offered a self-contained tire service truck by 1965.  IMT continued introducing new innovations, including a full line of hydraulic truck-mounted cranes, lubrication, and mechanic trucks. 

 By the end of the 1980’s IMT equipment was utilized in more than 70 countries globally.  With additional product offerings in the 1990’s and the acquisition of Stedt Hydraulic Co. in 2001, IMT continued to expand its product offerings of high quality, customer focused products.

 In August, 2006 IMT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, a leading manufacturer of specialty trucks and truck bodies. Citing IMT’s leadership position in technology and brand recognition within the service vehicle and truck-mounted crane markets.

 Our mission is simple:  To be a successful, people-oriented company serving global equipment markets.
