Alta Equipment Company expands in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois

Michigan-based lift truck dealer Alta Equipment Company more than doubled its personnel and market potential through strategic acquisitions in 2010. During the first quarter of the year, Alta Equipment Company completed the purchases of four equipment dealers: 2 in Michigan and 2 in the Chicago area. The purchases in Michigan, of competing lift truck dealer Mid State Industrial Equipment and construction equipment dealer Wolverine Tractor, extended Alta’s reach into Indiana and into the construction equipment market in Michigan. As a result of these purchases, Alta was named the Hyster Lift Truck dealer for western MI and northern IN, and also the Volvo Construction Equipment dealer for all of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Through the purchases of Chicago-based Aurora Lift Truck and United Lift, Alta expanded its representation for Hyster into the greater Chicago area.
