Pettibone Adds Taylor Machine Works as Cary-Lift Dealer
Pettibone/Traverse Lift has added Taylor Machine Works to its dealer network. Taylor will carry Pettibone Cary-Lift pipe and pole handlers for multiple states across the southern United States, including Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico and several counties in Texas.
“Taylor Machine Works is a wonderful addition to our dealer team,” said Kyle Rubin, director of sales and marketing for Pettibone. “With their wealth of experience serving the material handling industry, combined with their network of strategic locations for sales, maintenance and parts, Taylor is ideally positioned for great success selling our products.”
Founded in 1927, Taylor Machine Works is a family-owned company under third generation management with roughly 1,000 employees. Taylor has 14 factory stores to provide sales, service and support for its own line of equipment as well as its manufacturer partners.
“We’ve always found the Pettibone Cary-Lift to be a superior product for pipe handling applications,” said Hal Nowell, general sales manager for Taylor. “With oil and gas business back on the rise, we are extremely excited to capitalize on Pettibone’s fantastic reputation in the industry and look forward to serving new and existing Cary-Lift users alike.”
Pettibone was founded in 1881 and is a leader in material handling equipment.
