Terramac has added Kirby-Smith Machinery to its dealer network to serve as crawler carrier dealer in Oklahoma, offering sales, rental, service and after-market support. With more than 30 years of experience in equipment distribution, Kirby-Smith is knowledgeable and family with the state’s heavy equipment needs and is motivated to support its existing general construction and aggregates markets as well as expand support to the pipeline industry.

“Every one of our customers has a need for a crawler carrier,” said Joe Trapani, director of pipeline services for Kirby-Smith. “Terramac’s fit perfectly in our toolkit for their advanced versatility, and they complement the equipment our customers already use.”

Crawler carrier rentals will be an integral part of Kirby-Smith’s offerings, especially for the pipeline industry. “For our customers, it’s all about availability,” added Trapani. “These pipeline guys don’t just get a need for one or two units. When needs arise, these crews usually require 30 to 40 units and that’s where Terramac surpassed the competition.”

Kirby-Smith will have access to Terramac’s full dealer network after utilizing its own carrier fleet.

Kirby-Smith plans to add a variety of mid-sized RT9, larger RT14 and rotating RT14R carriers to its sales and rental offerings n the coming weeks. Terramac regional sales manager Tony Starr will support Kirby-Smith as a dealer.

Kirby-Smith is a major rental player in Oklahoma and Texas, No. 38 on the RER 100.
