Takeuchi-US has added a new Bennett Equipment & Supply Co. branch in Hiawassee, Ga., to its growing North American dealer network. This is Bennett Equipment's fourth location and its first in Georgia, joining others in Piedmont, Roebuck and Westminster, S.C.

The Bennett Equipment location at 1897 US Highway 76 in Hiawassee will now carry Takeuchi's full line of compact excavators, wheel loaders and track loaders for sale and rental. This additional location also will offer replacement parts and serve as authorized Takeuchi equipment repair centers for customers throughout the surrounding area.

"Takeuchi has been one of our trusted partners for years," said Eddie Bennett, president of Bennett Equipment & Supply. "They integrate quality into everything they do, from their equipment to their dealer and customer support.

"Over the years, our customers throughout South Carolina have come to appreciate the reliability, durability, performance and comfort they get from their Takeuchi machines. Now, we're looking forward to helping our new customers in Hiawassee experience the positive difference Takeuchi equipment can make on their productivity and bottom lines."

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Piedmont, S.C., Bennett Equipment is a locally owned, full-line construction equipment rental and sales company.
