The company was founded in 1949 by a Southern California farmer
offered without reserve
named R.D. Taylor Sr., who built handcarts for carrying feed on his chicken
ranch in anaheim. notably, even today, it is still the company’s home.
Taylor decided to expand his business by selling equipment to fellow
farmers. as the carts got heavier, his customers asked for a motorized
version. Production of the first electric truck began in 1951, and it was
tested on his own chicken ranch. Manufacturing and sales of the little
trucks to other farmers and ranchers provided a worthwhile income, and
it soon became the core of a successful business.
Fred a. Dunn joined the business in 1951, and four years later, it was
renamed the Taylor-Dunn Manufacturing Company. In June of 1955, the
new company introduced its Model PG, a three-wheeled, 24-volt electric
car, for doing neighbourhood shopping runs. It had headlamps and
taillights, and used tiller steering. The year 1959 brought the Model R
Trident shopping car, again with full “road” equipment. It was produced
until 1963. Interestingly, Taylor-Dunn continues to manufacture carts for
industry, from ground support vehicles, to stock chasers and dump trucks.
