MH Equipment Honored With 2024 Hyster Dealer of Distinction & Yale Dealer of Excellence Award

MH Equipment is pleased to announce that they have been awarded two major honors for its focused leadership and success in the industry: The 2024 Hyster Dealer of Distinction and 2024 Yale Dealer of Excellence awards. “This award is always an honor to receive because it recognizes the hard work and achievements of our entire dealership with our customers.” Says Woody Hartwell, President of Sales & Marketing.

These awards are presented annually to top-performing dealers who meet rigorous performance standards and adhere to defined business practices. These standards are updated each year to reflect evolving customer expectations and industry dynamics.

“The Hyster and Yale brands address distinct markets that require specialized industry expertise and dedicated support. As customers face an increasingly complex landscape—whether they’re exploring advanced technologies, resolving maintenance issues, or selecting a motive power source—dealers like MH Equipment consistently meet and exceed these challenges,” says Bob Sattler, Vice President of Dealer Business Development.

MH Equipment will be recognized along with the other Hyster Dealer of Distinction & Yale Dealer of Excellence honorees at a special awards celebration in April 2025.
