The U.S. Midwest metal recycling industry now has access to the new, purpose-built Brandt material handler because of a partnership between Brandt Industries and Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. This partnership makes Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. the first Brandt material handler dealer in the U.S.
"We take great pride in finding partners, like Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co., who are committed to the industries we serve and to delivering exceptional customer service," said Brandt Senior Vice President Sales of Manufactured Products, Jason Klassen. "We are excited to serve the metal recycling industry in the U.S. for the first time, and we plan to expand our network here even further in the future."
The Brandt material handler is a material handler designed, manufactured, and supported in North America. It is built on the John Deere platform and delivers productivity and uptime, with easy-to-find components and support through local dealerships.
Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Park City, Kansas. The dealer has 29 locations throughout Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio. Adding the Brandt material handler to its product offering will enable Murphy to provide a new option to increase efficiency and productivity for metal recyclers.
"The fact that the Brandt material handler is built right here in North America is a major advantage for our customers, who won't have to wait for shipments of machines and parts from overseas," said Jim Craig, general sales manager of road building and aggregates at Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. "Having the Brandt and Deere names on this machine is a huge benefit for us, because of the quality they both bring to the industry. We're excited to be the first Brandt material handler dealer in the country."
