Summit Handling Systems has added Donkey Forklifts to its equipment lineup as part of a new dealer partnership covering Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts.
The agreement expands Donkey Forklifts’ presence in the Northeast and integrates its truck-mounted forklift products into Summit’s six-location distribution and service network.
“Summit Handling Systems has spent more than 50 years earning that trust through innovation, integrity and unmatched customer service,” said Bradley Holder, vice president of sales for Donkey Forklifts. “Their local support network and factory-trained technicians will give our customers the confidence that help is never far away.”
Summit Handling Systems provides maintenance, repair, parts and technical support services for material handling and construction equipment, supported by more than 50 technicians across the region.
The company said the addition of Donkey Forklifts supports its focus on delivering equipment for demanding delivery and material handling applications.
“Summit Handling Systems is proud to join the growing Donkey herd and bring these innovative truck-mounted forklift solutions to customers across our market,” said Andy Pye, strategic growth vice president for Summit Handling Systems. “The Donkey product line and the company's Turnkey Solution capabilities align perfectly with our customers' increasing need for efficient, engineered delivery and material handling solutions. We look forward to representing such an innovative and customer-focused brand.”
Donkey Forklifts offers mechanical, hydrostatic and electric truck-mounted forklifts, including Burro Volt, an all-electric walk-behind forklift, and The Jack, a hydrostatic model.
The partnership adds to Donkey Forklifts’ dealer network expansion strategy and strengthens regional support for customers using truck-mounted forklift equipment in the Northeast.
