Yes Equipment & Services, Inc.

Company Profile At Yes Equipment & Services, Inc. there is a familiar saying, "If you drive it, sit on it, walk on it, wear it, live it, or eat it, it's probably been handled by a lift truck." The company, located in Menomonee Falls and Madison Wisconsin, supplies and services new and used lift trucks, as well as personnel carriers, aerial work platforms, material handling equipment and electric forklifts for industries that typically use them to lift and move items throughout a warehouse. Yes Equipment offers at their Wisconsin locations high-quality, American-made new and used forklifts and lift trucks backed by an international company, one of the largest in the industry. Some competitors have farmed out the production and, years later, the necessary parts are unavailable. By manufacturing and servicing what it sells, Yale Forklift and its distributors, such as YES provide a chain of original parts and custom service. Yes Equipment still services a 1946 Yale lift truck, as well as material handling equipment manufactured by competitors. "The largest customers come to us and stay with us because our focus is service," Cliff Anglewicz (Owner) says. "We understand that their equipment has to work all the time because down time and lost productivity are extremely expensive." "We've heard over and over again that we are the most technically advanced Yale dealership," Cliff says. "Typically, the industry is not technologically advanced, so we have an edge with our customers. I came from the automotive business where everything is computer automated. I'm always looking for ways to do things better for less money." In 2001, the Open Invoice System website was implemented, moving Yes Equipment to a paperless system. The Open Invoice System features secured reporting and electronic invoicing, coupled with a unique scanning system. - Milwaukee: City By the Waters Towery Publishing © 2001
