MH Equipment Expands Yale Territory in Illinois

MH Equipment Company recently completed an agreement to assume more territory for Yale lift equipment across 36 Illinois counties. Based in Peoria, MH Equipment has already represented the Hyster brand in these same areas, this means Yale Lift Truck Technologies are now available through MH Equipment. Yale was previously available in these 36 counties from another dealer. Customers who’ve purchased Yale products from others are now able to get service and support through MH Equipment, including Yale warranty work.

Woody Hartwell, President of Sales and Marketing, said, “We are excited to add the Yale brand to our offering in this territory. We look forward to serving Yale customers and continuing to be a great dealer partner.” Regional President Scott Aberle added, “While we have historically represented the Hyster brand in this area, many of our other locations are a full-service Yale forklift dealer, which is why you can turn to us for all your needs.”

Effective on Friday, March 8, Yale, part of Hyster-Yale Group, has transitioned these counties to MH Equipment: Bureau, Carroll, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Coles, DeWitt, Douglas, Edgar, Ford, Fulton, Iroquois, Jo Daviess, Knox, LaSalle, Livingston, Logan, McDonough, McLean, Macon, Marshall, Mason, Menard, Morgan, Moultrie, Peoria, Piatt, Putnam, Sangamon, Schuyler, Shelby, Stark, Tazewell, Vermilion, Warren and Woodford. Cities included in this transition include Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign, Decatur, Springfield, Galesburg, Savanna, and Galena. This new territory will be served by the existing MH Equipment branch offices in Danville, Ottawa, Decatur, and Peoria. While no new office locations are required, additional jobs may be added for service technicians.

MH Equipment Company sells, services, and rents material handling equipment from premier brands of the Hyster Yale Group, PowerBoss, Karcher, Rail King, Combilift, Motrec, Taylor-Dunn, Drexel, Genie, Skyjack, OTTO Motors, among several others. It operates in 34 service locations across 10 states and has just over 1,100 employees, 550 of them service technicians. MH Equipment began in 1952 as a single Hyster dealership in Peoria and is now among the largest and fastest-growing material handling service providers in the US. The company is based in Peoria, Ill.
