Eastern Lift Truck staff

Hyster has appointed Eastern Lift Truck Company as an authorised dealer.
Eastern Lift Truck is now the exclusive dealer for Hyster forklifts, parts and service in certain areas of Delaware, Maryland (Cecil County only), New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Bob Sattler, Hyster vice president of dealer development, cites the appointment as "an example of how our network of valued and experienced independent dealers keeps getting stronger - an invaluable resource for Hyster customers to get what they need, when they need it".

Eastern was founded in 1971 and has developed into one of the premier service providers in the Northeast.

Since becoming a Yale dealer in 1996, Eastern Lift Truck Company achieved several "Yale Dealer of Excellence" citations.

It has expanded from a single facility in Maple Shade, New Jersey to 15 locations serving the Mid-Atlantic region including Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Southeastern New York, Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, the "panhandle" of West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Eastern sells new and used forklifts, aerial lifts and mobile stock pickers from Yale, Combilift, Load Lifter, Manitou, Navigator, UTILEV, JLG, Genie and others.

The appointment continues a shake-up of Hyster and Yale territories which earlier this year saw significant changes in several markets.
