Manitou goes Modern

Pennsylvania based dealer and rental company Modern Equipment & Supply has joined the Manitou dealer network as a Mustang mini excavator dealer, but will also have access to Manitou’s full range of telescopic handlers, and will cover Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Manitou has owned Mustang and Gehl since 2008 and recently fully merged the operations with its Manitou Americas business.

Modern was established in 1946 and has distributed Hyster fork trucks almost since that time, and this is still its principle product line. It also offers JLG aerial lifts and telehandlers, Genie telehandlers, Terex cranes and boom trucks and Avant Tecno equipment. It operates from locations in Allentown, Bristol, Reading, Wilkes-Barre and York in Pennsylvania and two locations in New Jersey, Edison and Hasbrouck Heights.

Modern’s general manager Rick Nelson said: "We are excited to have a partner in Manitou group which shares our core beliefs of quality, value and integrity. The Mustang line's legendary reliability, solid product support capabilities and low cost of ownership bring an excellent value proposition to the end user."

Manitou Americas’ eastern regional sales manager Eric Burkhammer added: “We are proud to enter into a partnership with Modern Equipment. Working together we will ensure that equipment owners and operators have the best products and support to advance everyone’s performance to its maximum potential.”
