BRONX, NY — Hoffman Equipment is the newest member of Takeuchi’s growing North American dealer network. Hoffman Equipment will now sell, rent, and service Takeuchi compact excavators, track loaders, wheel loaders, and attachments at its locations in the Bronx, New York; Piscataway, New Jersey; Deptford, New Jersey; and Lionsville, Pennsylvania.
“Takeuchi is a brand we’ve respected for a long time, and we’re proud to represent their compact equipment line, now at four different Hoffman locations,” said Ryan Sherwood, President of Hoffman Equipment. “Their machines are known for performance, durability, and operator comfort — the qualities our customers are looking for. We see strong demand for compact solutions in our markets, and adding Takeuchi allows us to better serve that need with premium products backed by world-class support.”
Dating back to 1920, Hoffman Equipment has grown from a heavy hauling and rigging company into an equipment distributor employing 145 people at six locations spread across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The company’s evolution into domestic and international equipment sales has positioned it as a source for contractors in the construction, infrastructure, and industrial markets. Hoffman Equipment is now owned by Tim Watters, the third generation of the Hoffman family to run the business.
“Hoffman Equipment has a long history of success based on the values of trust, integrity, teamwork, and honesty combined with a strong dedication to their customers,” said John Vranches, Eastern Division Sales Manager for Takeuchi-US. “They have a well-earned reputation for excellence that continues to fuel their growth to this day. We’re very pleased to welcome the Hoffman team to our dealer family, and we look forward to working with them to elevate Takeuchi’s profile throughout their area of responsibility within the populated northeastern U.S.”
“I love this product,” Watters said. “Their history, their quality, and their dedication to supporting their customers are what sets them apart from other manufacturers. Takeuchi is the company that literally invented the mini excavator and has dominated the segment for more than 60 years, and we are just thrilled to be a part of their success.”
