Takeuchi-US has announced Western Tri State Equipment as a new dealer. Western Tri State Equipment, a division of Mesquite Ace Lumber, is located in Mesquite, Nev., and provides sales, service, parts and rental to customers throughout Southern Nevada, Southern Utah and Northwest Arizona.

Mesquite Ace Lumber Hardware, established in 1987, offers construction rentals, garden and patio, electrical, building supplies and hardware. Over the last few years, the dealer has had rising requests for compact equipment to purchase and rent. The addition of Takeuchi equipment will fill the void.

"With Takeuchi, it will give us the opportunity to sell equipment and still have machines available for rental," said Todd Leavitt, CEO of Western Tri State Equipment. "With Takeuchi in our lineup, we feel we can help build our other products such as trailer sales. Having this new product offering should really help us expand our business."

The new dealer will carry the full lineup of Takeuchi products, including excavators, skid steer loaders, track loaders and wheel loaders, in addition to stocking parts and performing equipment repair.

"Western Tri State Equipment has had a strong presence in the area for over three decades," said Kim Robinson, director of dealer development at Takeuchi. "There have already been several requests by small contractors for compact equipment and we have no doubt our machines will do great at this store."
