What does everyone think about LiftOne dropping Caterpillar to become a Hyster Dealer in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia & Alabama?
Showing items 1 - 20 of 49 results.
The completion of the sale of Barloworld was set back due to time constraints on the due diligence. In southern drawl, it took longer than they thought to look at everything. Best word is now month end.
Budman, this country is down and near enough out. I cant see any way back here. And yes I would contemplate packing up and moving across the pond. I know you say there is other dealers looking for techs but I would fit in nicely to a Hyster dealer due to my experience.
Cheers Pat
Pat, We have a hard enough time trying to understand our own Southern Accent. I can only imagine a British Brogue! LOL But I wish you all the luck! Would you really be interested in moving to the US? There's other Factory dealers other than Hyster looking for good Technicians.
Does LiftOne want any service techs from across the big pond ???? Ive worked on Hysters for 10+ Yrs
Barloworld are treating us like dirt on your shoe at the moment.. I need a way out HELP......
Pat
Was this due to MCFA, LiftOne, Barloworld or Hyster (NMHG)?
The transition is extended into April.
Thats what I thought, because liftone can no longer order trucks from cat at the end of March...
Hearing it will be a done deal @ end of March.
That is what I thought it would be. Due to Carter Machinary, heavy equipment cat dealer in Va, and Poole is only the lift truck side. Poole is also familier with the state. Any Idea when they say this is going to happen or have a announcement?
Herbert, everything I'm hearing, it will be Gregory Poole. Can't say how I know, but hear it's almost a done deal. Good luck!
Herbert, only time will tell. MCFA in one hand, Clark in the other. If it was me, my Clark hand would be waving bye!!! Clark isn't the lift they used to be! I've been in this field for 24 + yrs. It would be a no brainer to me.
Yea G and W got it...but now what is going to happen with G and W and the clark line...one has to give....
That would make sense if they border Virginia. I think Thompson out of AL. & GA. inquired into all of LiftOne's assets, but I think G & W had first chance.
The virginia dealership...In the western part..right now it is Liftone..but that cant stay..like you said..but G and W I dont think is going after that from what I just heard...so its either Poole or Bailey i would assume
Herbert, are you talking that G & W won't go after the Virginia dealership or the Cat line that LiftOne had in the Carolina's also?
I just found out from a friend at G and w that they prob. wont go after it. Liftone will be allowed to order trucks till then end of march and have parts order availabilty and software until the end of the year. So Virginia is still up in the air as to who is doing what.
I haven't heard for a fact that G & W will get it. I do know that a couple of different Dealers have inquired. But I think G & W will have the best chance. As for the date, I keep hearing 1st of March.
That is true..didnt think about the Software issue...
How long will Liftone be able to have the line and when will G and W pick it up. I understand that the transition should be complete by the end of this quarter. Will liftone still be able to purchase from MCFA? anyone know when they will be cut off...
No I can't say that I do. Everything that I've heard is that MCFA is very displeased at LiftOne's choice of buying the Barloworld Dealerships and would most likely cut all ties with them. If they don't, that would give LiftOne's Hyster dealers access to MCFA priority software. Which would be a conflict of interest.
Well I do know that Gand W equipment is getting the North and South carolina territory but I would figure they would bring in Gregory Poole from the east,but Cat doesnt like giving entire states to dealers,or bring Baily from the south and get the western territory for virginia. Do you see Liftone as a MCFA stand alone branch her in Vriginia?
