Yanmar Compact Equipment Names New Dealers in Alabama, California, Texas and Washington
Yanmar Compact Equipment has added five new dealers to its network: Romco Equipment Co., based in Carrollton, Texas, with eight locations; Corona, Calif.-based Volvo Construction Equipment & Services, with six locations; Montgomery, Ala.-based Stone Equipment Co., with one location; Bremerton, Wash.-based Sherlock Equipment Sales, with one location; and Wenatchee, Washington-based Rowe’s Tractor, with one location.
“Dealers are absolutely vital to our success,” said Jeff Pate, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America director of sales. “As the first point of contact with the end user, we need to be able to trust that our dealers have a passion for the Yanmar brand and what it stands for. We are pleased to add new dealer partners who share our values.”
The new dealers will offer Yanmar’s compact excavators, tracked carriers and wheel loaders, including the SV40 compact excavator, designed specifically for the North American market and featuring power, digging force and lifting capacity. The SV40 is one of Yanmar’s nine excavators purpose-built to overcome challenging conditions. The equipment delivers performance, fuel conservation and flexibility, all backed by Yanmar’s 4-year/4,000-hour compact excavator warranty.
Yanmar Compact Equipment dealers also feature the company’s tracked carrier lineup. The carriers’ durable rubber tracks provide the high-flotation, low ground pressure capability to productively operate in difficult-to-access muddy conditions while minimizing ground disturbance areas.
Additionally, the new dealers will offer customers the company’s articulated wheel loaders, featuring power and versatility in a compact, nimble package, designed for easy navigation in tighter spaces. Powered by fuel-efficient, Tier 4 Final diesel engines, they lift and move heavy loads with ease.
