Diversified Equipment Dealer Serves Customers in Multiple Industries
LAFAYETTE, IN, Feb 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Ervin Equipment, Inc. recently joined the dealer network for both
Wabash National and its subsidiary, Transcraft. Through its Laredo,
Tex. location Ervin now offers Wabash National dry and refrigerated
vans as well as Transcraft and Benson platform trailers in south
Texas and Mexico.
With over 30 years of experience sourcing and providing new and used
equipment, Ervin initially started by hauling sand and gravel. Today
the company serves customers around the globe, providing equipment
for agriculture, construction, power generation, oil and energy in
addition to transportation.
"Our goal is to offer quality equipment that we would buy back from
the customer -- American-made products that withstand the test of
time and the demands of the road," said founder and CEO of Ervin
Equipment Corporation, Greg Ervin. "Wabash National's DuraPlate dry
van line and ArcticLite refrigerated vans are premium products that
meet these criteria with the lowest total cost of ownership resulting
in higher residuals."
"Ervin is committed to embracing emerging trends and adapting its
business model to enhance the customer experience," said Todd Chrzan,
director of dealer development at Wabash National. "Partnering with a
forward-thinking dealer like Ervin extends our reach to new customers
in diverse segments of the marketplace."
"Both Wabash National and Transcraft have strong, long-standing
relationships with Ervin in the used trailer business," said Dudley
Gayman, director of sales for Transcraft. "The entire Ervin team is
extremely knowledgeable of the industry on various levels. We are
excited to bring them on board and offer access to the entire
Transcraft and Benson product portfolios."
