OUR HISTORY

The Dur-A-Lift story began in 1969 with Durnell Engineering in Emmetsburg, Iowa. In 1988, Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) acquired the assets of Durnell Engineering and relocated manufacturing to our current plant in George, Iowa. Today, DTI is one of the largest employers in northwest Iowa, with a team of over 200 dedicated professionals working to craft the highest-quality bucket trucks.

DTI also owns Sudenga Industries, a leading manufacturer of grain handling equipment. By sharing resources and expertise, these companies work together to deliver exceptional innovation, service, and quality.

and Lyon County had everything we needed to continue growing here. I’m pleased to say that still holds true today.”
– Chuck Sjogren, President
