MH Equipment Recognized Among Elite Dealers with 2025 Hyster & Yale Honors

MH Equipment is pleased to announce that they have earned two major honors for focused leadership and success in the material handling industry: the 2025 Hyster Dealer of Distinction award and the 2025 Yale Dealer of Excellence award.

“We are honored to receive both the Hyster Dealer of Distinction and Yale Dealer of Excellence awards,” said Coit Edison, CEO of MH Equipment. “These recognitions are a reflection of our Vision, Mission, and Values in action. We are committed to serving our customers in a consultative and transparent way, being good stewards of their resources, and delivering innovative solutions that create real value. This award is a direct result of our people living out those principles every day.”

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.

“Our entrepreneurial, independent dealer network is a powerful competitive advantage, and our Dealers of Distinction and Dealers of Excellence set the global standard for performance and continuous improvement. With deep expertise in materials handling—from safety and operator training to innovative motive power and fleet management, this elite group helps customers unlock smarter, more efficient operations,” said Bob Sattler, Vice President of Dealer Business Development for Hyster-Yale Materials Handling. “The exceptional results we see year after year reflect strong leadership and highly engaged associates who consistently prove their value as trusted partners, elevating customer satisfaction and driving new business.”

MH Equipment will be recognized along with the other Hyster Dealer of Distinction and Yale Dealer of Excellence honorees at a special awards celebration in April 2026.
