Harlan Global Manufacturing, based in Kansas City, Kansas, operates in the airlines and aviation sector as a mid-sized manufacturer and service provider. Founded in 1962 as a forklift-repair service, the company gradually shifted toward in-house parts production to address persistent supply challenges. In 1967 it relocated to a facility of more than 280,000 square feet and, by 1968, began designing and assembling its own towing tractors, with production continuing uninterrupted since their introduction. Its towing tractors cover 3,000 to 20,000 pounds and are used at airports, docks, warehouses, hospitals, amusement parks, and other places where heavy loads must be moved.
