The United States' metal recycling industry now has greater access to the new, purpose-built Brandt material handler, due to a partnership between Brandt Industries and McCoy Construction & Forestry.

"We are excited to serve the metal recycling industry by partnering with a company that shares our belief in putting customers and their needs first," said Jason Klassen, Brandt senior vice president of sales — manufactured products. "Teaming up with McCoy Construction & Forestry will help us expand our reach to deliver superior material handling equipment to customers in the Midwest."

The Brandt material handler is the only material handler designed, manufactured and supported in North America, according to Brandt. It is built on the John Deere platform and delivers productivity and uptime, with easy-to-find components and support through local dealerships.

McCoy Construction & Forestry has 25 locations throughout the Midwest in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee. Adding the Brandt material handler to its product offering will enable McCoy to offer a new reliable and durable option for their metal recycling customers, according to the company.

"The engineering and construction of Brandt products and their focus on reliability, dependability and durability will make a big impact on the market with this new material handler," said Jeff Herkert, president of McCoy Construction & Forestry.
