Skyjack has announced two additions to its North American sales team, appointing new territory sales managers in several U.S. regions as part of efforts to strengthen leadership and customer support.
The appointments, announced June 15, 2026, include Steve De La Torre and Brian Wesley, both of whom bring experience in aerial equipment, material handling and construction equipment rental markets.
De La Torre will serve as territory sales manager for Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. According to Skyjack, he brings more than 21 years of experience in the aerial lift and material handling sectors, with a focus on customer support and business development. His experience includes working with rental companies throughout the Southwest.

Brian Wesley has been named territory sales manager for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and West Tennessee, replacing Bob Webb, who is retiring from the role. Wesley brings more than 25 years of experience in construction equipment rental and has worked with customers in Louisiana and Mississippi markets for more than 20 years.
“Brian’s experience within the regional rental markets, and with the current customer base, will prove valuable in the transition to Skyjack,” highlighted Tavianini. “With his strong foundation built in equipment rental and customer service, Brian is a great addition to our company, which is known for reliability and innovation.”
“I am thrilled to take on the Territory Sales Manager role with Skyjack,” shared Wesley. “Bob has done a fantastic job with the Southeast markets to date and I look forward to continuing to build upon that momentum.”
