Pettibone/Traverse Lift LLC announced the addition of ARDCO Equipment to its dealer network for material handling equipment. Located in New Iberia, La., ARDCO Equipment will represent Pettibone in Louisiana.

“ARDCO Equipment is a perfect match for our product lineup and the Pettibone brand as a whole,” said Scott Raffaelli, vice president and general manager of Pettibone. “We are excited about the partnership and the opportunity to expand Pettibone's reach in this territory.”

ARDCO Equipment will carry all Pettibone product lines — Cary Lift pipe handlers, Extendo telehandlers, Speed Swing rail cranes – to serve various customers in oil and gas, construction and railroad maintenance.

“After operating our own rental fleet for years, the timing was right to become a full-service dealer to meet all our customers' needs,” said David Langley, director of business development and operations of ARDCO Equipment. “Pettibone machines have an inherent durability that will fit right in with our mission of supplying premium off road solutions.”

Pettibone/Traverse Lift LLC is part of the Pettibone LLC Heavy Equipment Group. Founded in 1881, Pettibone has been recognized as the industry leader in material handling equipment since the company revolutionized the industry with the first forward-reaching, rough-terrain machines in the 1940s.
