Scaling Up at Solle: Our New 16,000 lb Forklift & What It Means for Custom Cabinetry in Austin, Texas

At Solle Solutions, growth isn’t just about taking on more projects—it’s about building the right systems, equipment, and workflow to deliver high-end custom cabinetry and architectural millwork at scale.

In this episode of our 365 series, we introduce a major upgrade to the shop:

👉 a 16,000 lb forklift

And while it might just look like a big machine, it represents something much bigger for our clients and our capabilities here in Austin, Texas.


Why a 16,000 lb Forklift Matters in Custom Cabinetry

Custom cabinetry and architectural millwork involve large, heavy, and often delicate components—especially when working on:

  • full home cabinet packages
  • commercial projects
  • large panel systems
  • feature walls
  • oversized built-ins

Having a forklift of this size allows us to:

✔ move large materials safely
✔ load and unload deliveries efficiently
✔ transport completed cabinetry without damage
✔ handle larger-scale projects with confidence

This upgrade directly improves how we operate day to day.


Supporting Our In-House Workflow

Everything we do at Solle is handled in-house:

  • design
  • drafting
  • CNC manufacturing
  • assembly
  • finishing
  • installation

The addition of this forklift strengthens that entire system.

Instead of relying on outside help or working around limitations, we now have the equipment to move projects through the shop faster, safer, and more efficiently.


Built for Bigger Projects in Austin and Beyond

Austin is growing—and the projects we’re taking on are growing with it.

From high-end residential homes to commercial interiors and architectural millwork installations, we need the infrastructure to support larger builds.

The new forklift gives us the ability to handle:

  • larger cabinet runs
  • commercial-scale millwork
  • bulk material deliveries
  • full-house cabinetry packages

without slowing down our workflow.


What This Means for Our Clients

For our clients, this upgrade means:

  • smoother project timelines
  • safer handling of materials and finished pieces
  • the ability to take on larger, more complex builds
  • and a more efficient overall process

It’s another step toward delivering high-end custom cabinets in Austin, Texas with consistency and reliability.
