Brandt material handlers are designed, manufactured and supported in North America.

The United States' Midwest metal recycling industry now has greater access to the full lineup of Brandt material handlers due to a partnership between Brandt Industries and West Side Tractor.

"We are thrilled to partner with West Side Tractor, a fellow North American family business, to expand access to our comprehensive lineup of material handlers in the Midwest," said Jason Klassen, Brandt senior vice president sales — manufactured products. "This collaboration is a chance to strengthen our commitment to the metal recycling industry. We look forward to working together to serve customers with the quality and reliability they deserve."

Brandt material handlers are designed, manufactured and supported in North America. They are built on the John Deere platform and deliver productivity and uptime, with easy-to-find components and support through local dealerships, according to the company. The lineup includes 40-, 60- and 80-ton-class machines to support any size of operation.

West Side Tractor is a third-generation family business established in 1962 on the "west side" of Chicago. The heavy equipment dealership serves more than 80 counties, with 11 locations throughout Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

West Side Tractor is new to the metal recycling business, and the company is confident that adding the Brandt lineup of material handlers to its existing product offering will attract customers who are looking for power, uptime and efficiency.

"It makes sense for us to team up with Brandt. Their material handlers are 100 percent built in North America and parts are easily accessible, which is critical for us to be able to support our customer's operation at a high level," said Adam Dudek, sales manager, West Side Tractor. "We are excited about the partnership and the opportunity to reach new customers with support-focused, high-quality machines."
