About MH Equipment

MH Equipment began in Peoria, Illinois in 1952 as one of the smallest Hyster forklift dealerships in the United States. From such humble beginnings, MH Equipment has grown to become one of the largest and fastest-growing material handling service providers in the US.

In 1994, the company was purchased by current CEO John Wieland. Since 1994, we have grown from a small company of 50 employees into an organization composed of multiple dealerships with over 1,000+ employees and 37 locations (34 servicing locations) throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

We have grown organically and through acquisition and have become a company rich in diversity and vast in geography. We trust as a company that we will always remain mindful of our humble beginnings, grateful for our success, and hungry for our next horizon.

What we can do for you:

Maximize ROI:
Reduce cost and maximize return on your assets
Schedule full maintenance:
MH Fleet monitors your equipment so you never miss routine maintenance
Manage multiple locations:
MH Fleet can track fleets of any size or location in North America

Lasting Partnerships

At MH Equipment, we understand in the world of material handling there is a continued state of change and raising of the bar for performance. Complacency can rapidly lead to extinction. We work diligently with our customers to anticipate their changing needs and provide solutions for effective results. We work at staying on top of technological advances in products and services to determine cost-effective methods of addressing needs. We believe in being good stewards of our customers’ resources and look to build long term, lasting partnership relationships.
