Liu Gong North America has chosen Atlantic Industrial Equipment to offer its wheel loaders, excavators, mini excavators, Dressta dozers, skid steers and industrial forklifts in Canada.
Liu Gong says the dealership is partnering with Nova Truck Centres for locations and product support from Nova Scotia facilities located in the Halifax Regional Municipality in Dartmouth and the towns of Truro and Westville.
Ken Biediger, president at LiuGong's North America forklift division, says: “Atlantic Industrial gives LiuGong a new presence in Atlantic Canada and gives us the opportunity to show our Canadian friends how strong our products and our support can be.”
Atlantic Industrial Equipment's president James Bond has represented the construction industry's heavy-duty equipment manufacturers.
Michel Marchand, vice president at LiuGong Canada, says: “We are confident James and his team will provide vital support to construction industry throughout Atlantic Canada.
"They offer years of experience and a highly trained technical staff to maximise their customers’ uptime and productivity.
“We are really fortunate have a bordering dealer in Montreal, Gymdex, that has been a very successful LiuGong dealer over the past nine years selling hundreds of machines to all sectors. Now we offer Atlantic Canada the same high-value, LiuGong choice."
Atlantic Industrial Equipment has customer financing and leasing programmes in place.
“We’re open for business right now. We invite Atlantic Canada customers to come put us to the test,” he concludes.
Nova Truck Centres, a Daimler Group dealer specialising in Freightliner and Western Star trucks, offers LiuGong equipment owners access to 70 OEM-trained technicians from four locations.
According to LiuGong, this means they have access to close product support ensuring maximum productivity and lowest downtime for maintenance and service.
Nova Truck CEO Peter Macgillivray has looked at the possibility of Nova Trucks offering heavy equipment several times in the past.
“I’d see our customers’ trucks towing a trailer behind them, thinking, wouldn’t it be nice if we could put an excavator on it for them.” All that held him back, he said, was lack of expertise in those lines. James has that. He’s the expert when it comes to heavy duty equipment,” he says.
According to Macgillivray, Nova Truck Centre’s 41,000 square-foot Dartmouth facilities provide sufficient space for a sharing arrangement with Atlantic Industrial Equipment. Parts will be stocked locally for LiuGong customers in Nova Truck’s 7,000 square foot warehouse, he adds.
