Recipients of the Excalibur dealer awards include Baker Brothers Installations Inc of Marietta, Georgia; Cisco Eagle Inc Farmers Branch, Texas; Craft Equipment Co of Tampa, Florida; separate Crown Lift locations in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Pompano Beach, Florida; Lift Solutions Inc of Omaha, Nebraska; Riekes Material Handling Co of Waukee, Iowa; Twinlode Corp of South Bend, Indiana; Wisconsin Lift Truck Corp of Brookfield, Wisconsin; and Wynright Corp of Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
Fourteen other dealers received King's Court honours.

Illinois Material Handling adds Big Joe
Elk Grove Village, IL, United States

The Illinois Material Handling division of Wolter Group LLC has added the Big Joe line of materials handling equipment.
"The addition of Big Joe offers our customers a more unique option," says Jerry Weidmann, president of Brookfield, Wisconsin-based Wolter Group.
Illinois Material Handling also distributes Hyundai, Mariotti, Lift King, Lowry and Noble forklifts, Genie and JLG aerial lifting equipment and PowerBoss sweepers and scrubbers.
Another Wolter Group unit, Wisconsin Lift Truck Corp, began representing Big Joe on 1 August 2010, and Illinois Material Handling added the line on 1 September 2012.
A Wolter Group unit acquired the operations of Scott Lift Truck Corp in Elk Grove Village on 31 August 2012 and aligned them with the group's previously existing Illinois Material Handling location in Rockford, Illinois. Scott Swakow is regional sales manager for Illinois Material Handling.
