The G.W. Van Keppel Company has been named the SANY America crane dealer for Arkansas and southern Illinois. The announcement was made at the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) Summit trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“SANY cranes are a natural addition to our construction equipment division,” said William S. Walker, president of G.W. Van Keppel and grandson of the company’s founder. “We’ve had a long history selling and supporting cranes, so we’re very enthused to be partering with SANY America and SANY brand cranes.”
Founded by Gerald W. Van Keppel in 1926, the G.W. Van Keppel Company serves equipment customers through 15 locations in five states. The company provides equipment sales, parts and service, rentals and safety equipment. In addition to construction equipment, Van Keppel also offers aggregate crushing and screening equipment, material handling machines such as forklifts, and quarry supplies. Van Keppel has its headquarters in Kanas City, Kansas. In 2012, Van Keppel was named a SANY America excavator dealer for central and western Arkansas.
“G.W. Van Keppel is known for its customer care and expertise in earthmoving, road-building, quarrying, scrap processing and forestry,” said Kyle Nape, vice president of global sales and marketing at SANY America. “We’re confident this partnership will help SANY America and G.W. Van Keppel serve customers well with a range of hoisting products and solutions.”
