General Equipment will offer rental, sales, parts, and service for Takeuchi compact excavators, track loaders, and wheel loaders.

“Takeuchi equipment has an excellent reputation for durability and reliability,” said Jon Shilling, President/CEO of General Equipment & Supplies, Inc. “Furthermore, they support their dealers with the right tools and resources to help them be successful. We’re pleased to now offer their equipment at two of our Minnesota locations, and we expect our customers there will quickly come to appreciate the difference a Takeuchi machine can make on their productivity and profitability.”

General Equipment & Supplies was founded in 1984 by four former employees of General Diesel and Equipment Co.
