A Note From John Weiland, CEO

The material handling industry has had no shortage of challenges in the past few years. Navigating those challenges has been difficult with supply chain issues, inflation, health care, and continuing interest rate hikes. To add to the turmoil going into 2023, most people believe the economy will have a pullback in the second half of the year. The extent of a potential slowing economy is to be determined.

Our team continues to focus on growth and searching for people that are in similar industries, self-motivated, and have the desire to be rewarded for their hard work.

If you are interested in exploring this opportunity further, I encourage you to call me directly at (309) 579-8020 ext. 4222 or fill out the form below.

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 900+ employees and 33 locations (30 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.
