HUBTEX UK celebrates 25 years

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 12:30:53 +0000

A quarter of a century after its founding, HUBTEX UK has grown from humble beginnings in a garage to become a major player in the UK market. HUBTEX UK’s history is one of continuous growth, innovation, and a firm commitment to quality and safety. HUBTEX’s roots go back to the early 1980’s, before Malcom Manser and HUBTEX GmbH had the idea of setting HUBTEX UK. HUBTEX UK began operations in 1999 – initially in a small garage that served as a sales office. The first branch was opened in 2002, and an office with an attached workshop followed in 2004. Since then, HUBTEX UK has undergone considerable change. The company, which started as a one-man operation, now employs 16 people. In 2008, HUBTEX UK moved to its current building in Milton Keynes. Another milestone was reached when the service department was expanded to 10 technicians. The team now has the responsibility of ensuring that the vehicles are comprehensively maintained and serviced. First customers and milestones The first customers started using Hubtex side loaders as early as 1986. This model symbolizes the durability and reliability of Hubtex products. In 2004, HUBTEX UK exhibited for the first time at IMHX, a major trade fair in Birmingham. This market positioning enabled the company to expand its product range to include multidirectional forklifts and to strengthen its market presence in order picking vehicles for kitchen worktops, wood-based materials, laminate, decorative panels, aluminum and plastic profiles. Other important milestones for the company included the launch of the MaxX and FluX model lines in 2016 and the PhoeniX series in 2018. Continuous growth and longstanding relationships The last 25 years have been marked by sustainable growth and the development of long-term customer relationships with Eurocell, Epwin, Antalis, Hydro, Metsec and Co. While leasing contracts in the industry are often limited to five years, HUBTEX UK has signed numerous long-term contracts with a term of ten years, and continued agreements since the UK office opened. These partnerships are testament to the high quality of the products and services and the trust customers have in the company. “Our strength lies in the reliability and durability of our products and the vehicle safety we offer our customers. These qualities have made us a trusted partner for many companies”, says Paul McNally, Managing Director of HUBTEX UK. Looking to the future Despite the challenges posed by global events and geopolitical tensions, HUBTEX UK is optimistic about the future. The company plans to further expand its already strong position in the construction, wood, steel and plastics industries and to enter new market segments such as the automotive, aerospace and air freight industries. The vision for the coming years includes further growth in machines, customers, employees and revenue. “With strong customer and supplier relationships and a team of committed and talented employees, HUBTEX UK sees many opportunities to successfully master the challenges of the future”, concludes McNally.

Cornerstone Equipment joins LiuGong North America Dealer Network

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 13:44:54 +0000

LiuGong North America has added Cornerstone Equipment to its dealer network. The Dry Ridge, Kentucky-based operation sells both construction equipment and material handling products. The business started in 2009 as an industrial equipment solutions provider. It serves the agriculture, outdoor power, construction and material handling equipment industries, and its three branches help to cover the tristate area of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. Devin Ponder, CEO, Cornerstone Equipment, has drawn upon his family’s roots and success with the business over the last 15 years. His parents, Bryan and Kathy Ponder, founded the business in 2009 after his dad worked for the region’s largest material handling dealership. He took over day-to-day operations at Cornerstone in 2020. While its roots were in forklifts, the company pivoted to its current line during the pandemic from 2020 to 2022 and expanded its operations in both Ohio and Indiana. The company is now blending its industrial equipment background with recent retail success to expand further, adding construction and material handling equipment. Ponder hailed the relationship already established with LiuGong team members during the recruitment process as Cornerstone Equipment joins the dealer network. “The vision of Cornerstone Equipment’s future and the LiuGong future in North America align perfectly,” he said. “Our team is uniquely qualified to be the market leaders in construction and material handling equipment sales, service and rental operations in the tristate area. “The broad product line offered from LiuGong covering both construction and material handling equipment fits our target customer base perfectly. The value of bringing machines with industry-leading components to market at an extraordinarily competitive price and lead time is exciting.” Andrew Ryan, President, LiuGong North America, expanded on the relationship they’ve developed and what Cornerstone Equipment can add to the dealer network. “There is a strong family history that Cornerstone Equipment has established, along with a pursuit of excellence and strong vision for what they want to achieve,” Ryan said. “It’s a great addition to our LiuGong dealer network across both construction and material handling equipment.” Jared Ward, Vice President, Material Handling, LiuGong North America, added the background they have within the material handling field will only strengthen the material handling dealer network. “The Cornerstone Equipment group has shown strong interest and dedication to serving material handling customers,” Ward said. “We look forward to growing with them in this space and we welcome their family to the LiuGong family of dealers.” Ponder closed by emphasizing the connection he has developed thus far. “The mission of LiuGong to be dealers’ preferred choice resonates with our team, and its organizational structure in North America supports that mission,” Ponder said. “Every LiuGong team member we met in Katy, Texas was truly professional; that’s something required for us to deliver the best customer experiences possible. “Lastly, LiuGong offers us the ability and opportunity to scale and expand our business on a regional level going forward and deliver excellent customer experiences for years to come.”

ALL Crane becomes authorized dealer for Maeda

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 16:34:43 +0000

The ALL Family of Companies is once again an authorized dealer for Maeda mini cranes. ALL is also adding 13 Maeda spider cranes to its own fleet. ALL’s exclusive territory for Maeda sales covers the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. ALL will sell and service Maeda’s full line including spider cranes, crawlers, and battery cranes. Widely considered the smallest crane in the world, Maeda cranes can go where other cranes simply can’t. With a width as little as two and a half feet, many can actually fit through standard doorways. The construction industry is especially fond of these small cranes for their ability to be placed high up in a structure and assist with glazing and curtainwall installation. Josh Doyle, general manager of ALT Sales Corp., the boom truck division of the ALL Family, expects construction to remain a popular market for Maeda via ALL, with other applications emerging. “The advent of Maeda battery-powered cranes opens a whole new world of indoor crane operations due to the lack of exhaust emissions,” said Doyle. “I expect those cranes to pick up work inside warehouses and for interior remodeling jobs in industrial and commercial settings.” Maeda models added to ALL’s own fleet include three MC285C spider cranes with a slim 30-inch body, 24-foot boom, and 6,210-pound maximum capacity; seven MC305C models with a 41-foot boom and max capacity of 6,560 pounds; and three MC405C spider cranes with a 55-foot boom and a max capacity of 8,480-pounds. All include multi-angle outrigger positions and rubber tracks. “The multi-angle outriggers are a game-changer. They take cranes that already could move in close due to their small size and get them that much closer to the work,” said Doyle. The Maeda spider cranes added to ALL’s own fleet are being deployed throughout the four states in which ALL is an authorized dealer, so customers unfamiliar with the product can see their performance for themselves. Japanese-made Maeda originally carved out a niche for itself with its small, versatile spider cranes. It has made a push into the U.S. market with the formation of Maeda America Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas.

The initial launch of LiuGong products at Casey Equipment went “virtually flawlessly with all of their support.” “From day one, we knew exactly who to contact for our initial needs and requirements,” said Jim Cox, Casey Equipment President. “We also felt confident that everyone from their president and CEO on down was engaged in getting us started on the right foot.” Casey Equipment is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois with three dealerships in Arlington Heights, Lemont, and Rockford. The company has served the Chicago and northwest Indiana areas for more than 45 years. In addition, to support, Cox said machine and parts availability played a major role in joining the LiuGong dealership network. While competitors have struggled with supply chain issues, LiuGong has worked tirelessly to fill their customers’ orders. “LiuGong seems to have it figured out better than most of the competitors out there,” he said. “We can quote, take orders and more importantly deliver equipment timely for our customers.” Casey Equipment is a premier dealer of new and used heavy equipment in the construction, forestry, asphalt paving, mining, and agricultural industries. They provide construction equipment rentals, services, and parts for the brands they carry. LiuGong North America President Andrew Ryan said Casey Equipment has a stellar reputation as a heavy equipment dealer in the Midwest, and they are thrilled to work together and expand their offerings in the region. “We are incredibly grateful to add another great partner in Casey Equipment to our growing dealer network,” he said. “Their reputation for excellence in Illinois and Indiana will be integral to improving our reach in the region.”
