The History of Taylor-Dunn

Taylor-Dunn started out supporting local farms which, over the years, has grown into supporting a variety of applications at hospitals, airports, schools, amusement parks, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and the military.

R.D. Taylor Sr. started in 1949

Mr. Taylor initially built a small electric-powered cart for personal use in his poultry supply business. After receiving inquiries from other ranchers about the little cart, he decided to build a few for friends and neighbors. The year was 1949, and the business was named the "Taylor Shop".

Fred Dunn joined in 1951

Fred Dunn, Mr. Taylor's son-in-law, joined the business in 1951, and several years later the company changed its name to Taylor-Dunn Manufacturing Company. Before long, the company began making and selling vehicles to hundreds of ranchers and nurseries from San Diego to Simi Valley.

Goodwin's purchased in 1990

Arthur Goodwin introduced lean manufacturing, a "just-in-time" method. He also expanded upon the product line, brought in a German built precision laser cutter and an engineering software to allow for rapid prototyping of engineered drawings for the highly customized vehicles, all which are still used today.

Polaris Industries acquired in 2016

Taylor-Dunn joins GEM, Goupil, Mega, Aixam and well as ORV commercial vehicles as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris. While Polaris is known for powersports, adjacent markets are an important aspect of their growth strategy, and industrial vehicles are a natural extension.
