Luby Equipment will carry the full lineup of Takeuchi equipment, including excavators, track loaders, skid steer loaders, and wheel loaders. The dealer provides sales, service, parts, and rental.
Established in 1974, Luby Equipment is headquartered in Fenton, Missouri. They have six branches that carry compact construction equipment, three in Missouri, and three in Illinois. Started by Bob Luby, the dealer remains a family company with Bob’s sons, Tim Luby and Steve Luby. Steve is President of Luby Equipment and Luby Shoring services, and Tim is part of the senior management team.
The company has established itself as a leader in the construction equipment business by providing products and service in the greater St. Louis area. Originally focusing on maintaining and repairing heavy industrial equipment, the dealer now sells and services equipment for three divisions: construction, oilfield, and power generation.
“Luby Equipment has been a strong partner with Takeuchi in the Illinois and Missouri markets for many years,” said Jeff Stewart, Vice President and General Manager at Takeuchi-US. “There is a lot of opportunity around the St. Louis area, and Takeuchi will certainly fill a need there, backed by tremendous dealer support.”

To support the lineup addition, Luby Equipment will expand their equipment and parts inventory levels, as well as hire industry professionals to support the increased demand for the Takeuchi products in the area. This includes technicians, parts, personnel, and product support staff.
“We are honored and excited to be able to represent Takeuchi and offer their industry leading products to the greater St. Louis construction customers,” said David Kedney, Vice President of Luby Equipment Services. “Our culture has always been focused around the customer, and we are enthusiastic to embrace the entire Takeuchi customer base.”
Takeuchi is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of a line of compact track loaders, compact excavators, compact wheel loaders, and skid steer loaders. Founded in 1963, Takeuchi was the first company to introduce the compact excavator to North America, setting the stage for one of the highest growth product segments ever introduced in the compact equipment market. The compact excavator has become a main line product for both rental and construction/utility companies. Takeuchi also introduced the first compact track loader to North America.
