About ALM Positioners

Since ALM designed its very first positioner, we’ve been dreaming up new ways to transform processes and how to improve precision in welding projects in dozens of industries. From construction and forestry to military and recreational vehicles to aerospace and mining, ALM combines highly effective positioners with a solution-driven customer experience rivaled by none.

Our Story

Better, Faster, Safter, Smarter since 1982.

The goal was clear from the beginning – create manufacturing solutions that promote safety and productivity in the workplace. ALM Positioners first established itself as a manufacturer of automotive and heavy vehicle lifts used to service cars, trucks, buses and military vehicles. The breakthrough came in the early 2000’s when the ALM team designed a custom headstock/tailstock positioner for Caterpillar. A cost-effective, economic success, these positioners became the focus of our design and engineering talents.
