JOIN MH EQUIPMENT
We’re Growing. And We’re Bringing Our People With Us.
In 1994, John Wieland purchased MH Equipment, a local dealership with about 50 employees. Today we’re 1,200+ people across 30+ locations in 11 states.
But our story has never been about getting bigger for the sake of being bigger. It’s always been about getting better, for our customers and for the people who serve them. Growth means more branches, more specialties, and more places to build a career.
Every Company Says Its Values Are More Than a Poster on the Wall.

It’s Not Just Forklifts.
If you think working at an equipment dealer means fixing the same forklift every day, take a look. Our technicians work on massive industrial equipment, Cummins engines, robotics and automated systems. They solve problems that take real creativity, not just a wrench.
Beyond Material Handling
MH Equipment is part of the MH Logistics portfolio, which also includes Armor Equipment, Guardian Fleet Solutions, and Louisville Switching.
