Riekes Equipment Expands Grand Island Location
Riekes Equipment has completed a 3,800 sq. ft. addition to their Grand Island location. The new building increases the size of their current facility allowing room for both shop and equipment expansion. The expanded area will have additional indoor storage for trucks and includes a new loading dock.
“We are very excited about the expansion; it will provide us much needed space to grow our business and allow greater efficiencies in our operation. Our customers can expect greater capacity and increased local availability for rental equipment.” said Jim Crawford, Branch Manager.
“The addition of the loading dock is critical as we service more big trucks.” said Crawford. “We can now unload them in 10 minutes which dramatically improves our service turnaround times.”
This expansion continues to build on the Riekes tradition of being the complete source for industrial equipment and maintenance needs in the Grand Island area.
