Nissan Forklift Corporation North America (NFCNA) has added 29 Wisconsin and Michigan counties to the coverage area of its authorised Nissan and Barrett forklift dealer, Wisconsin Lift Truck Corp (WLTC).
WLTC has had limited territory coverage of the Nissan/Barrett product line since 1997. The company is now the authorised Nissan dealer for the following Wisconsin counties: Ashland, Bayfield, Florence, Forest, Green, Iron, Langlade, Lincoln, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Oneida, Price, Rock, Shawano, and Vilas and in the following Michigan counties: Alger, Baraga, Chippewa, Delta, Dickinson, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Keweenaw, Luce, Mackinac, Marquette, Menominee, Octonagon and Schoolcraft.
WLTC is now the authorised dealer in the same counties for Barrett Industrial Trucks, a division of NFCNA, with the exception of Green and Rock counties, in Wisconsin, and Chippewa, Delta, Luce and Mackinac counties in Michigan.
WLTC chief executive Otto Wolter said: "The expanded territory coverage, the strength of Nissan/Barrett, [and] our 42-plus years of experience will be a successful combination."
WLTC, headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, is a 42-year-old full service materials handling distributor with more than 400 employees.
