The facility is capable of repairing a variety of general industrial and construction equipment.
The branch specializes in aerial lifts, telescopic forklifts, earthmoving, and general construction equipment from Atlas Copco, Bomag, Club Car, Gehl, Generac, Genie, Hamm, JCB, JLG, John Deere, Laymor, MEC, Miller, Multiquip, Okada, Polaris, Skyjack, Skytrak, Takeuchi, Unicarriers, Yanmar and others.
“With strong economic growth in the DFW Metroplex, adding a second location in the Ft. Worth market will help us better serve our customers and ongoing projects in the area, such as the Walsh Ranch development, the new Dickies arena, and Tarleton State University project,” said Abe Farrington, regional vice president. “The Aledo location will position us to offer full-service rental needs quickly and efficiently with the same high-quality equipment our customers expect for many years to come.”
In addition to equipment rentals, the facility provides new and used equipment sales, in-shop and mobile service, a comprehensive parts inventory, training, and other value-added services.
