Hy-Tek Material Handling, Inc. announces the formation of its newest division, Hy-Tek JCB. Dedicated to central Ohio's multi-county construction industry, Hy-Tek JCB provides sales, parts, service and attachments for JCB's complete line of construction equipment—including new, pre-owned and rental models—at its Columbus, Ohio headquarters.
Hy-Tek JCB's division is led by President Jim Ripkey; VP and GM Jason Milligan; Account Manager Marty Grace; and Product Support Manager Gary Steele. Hy-Tek JCB's team has 90 years of construction equipment industry experience.
For 50 years, Hy-Tek Material Handling has offered full sales and service support for Yale Lift Trucks, including new and used equipment sales, rentals, fleet analysis, customized maintenance programs and reliable aftermarket parts and service. Now, the dealership applies its half-century of experience to JCB's wide range of equipment, including the world's safest and most innovative skid steer known for its patented single-arm PowerBoom and uniquely safe side-entry door. Other industry-leading JCB products available at Hy-Tek JCB include wheel loaders, backhoes, and Loadall telescopic handlers. Hy-Tek JCB also offers a fully stocked parts department and a full-service maintenance team featuring professionally trained JCB mechanics. Additionally, Hy-Tek JCB represents Felling Trailers, a construction industry staple.
"Hy-Tek attributes our longevity, in part, to successful relationships with best-in-class industry partners like JCB," said Ripkey. "We're excited to be JCB's central Ohio dealer, allowing us to offer JCB's outstanding product line to our growing customer base and extend our reach, relationships and reputation into the construction industry. Hy-Tek has always set itself apart by providing the best parts, service, sales, and rental support around. Now, we're combining those efforts with some of the world's most innovative, productive construction equipment. It's truly a win-win for us and for our customers."
"We're very pleased to welcome Hy-Tek JCB to our expanding dealer network," said John Patterson, JCB North America's CEO and deputy chairman. "Hy-Tek JCB has already built a strong reputation of providing quality sales, parts, and service. I have no doubt that they will serve to further strengthen the JCB brand in the various markets they serve."
