IMT Launches Certified Used Equipment Initiative
June 2007
Garner, Iowa - Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) has established a certified used equipment initiative to meet customer demand for quality pre-owned equipment. IMT Certified Used Equipment is an extension of the IMT line of durable and reliable service vehicles that provides a premium level of certified used equipment not offered on the market today.
Each vehicle will be reconditioned to a defined set of criteria within a rigorous 90-point checklist. IMT will inspect every aspect of each vehicle, including overall appearance, cab interior, condition of under-hood and under-vehicle components, service body, crane, compressed air system and optional components.
"IMT equipment is known industry-wide for its durability and reliability, and it has always held its value very well," says Mark Zipse, strategic accounts manager with IMT. "And demand for pre-owned service vehicles is particularly high right now."
Customers who purchase IMT Certified Used Equipment and register their warranty online will receive a copy of the 90-point checklist, as well as a six-month limited warranty for the IMT equipment and a one-month limited warranty on the chassis.
"Now that we're putting our pre-owned equipment through the rigorous IMT Certified 90-point checklist, customers can rest assured that their premium used vehicle comes with the IMT stamp of the highest durability and reliability," Zipse said.
IMT Certified Used Equipment will be sold through the extensive IMT distributor network, which consists of more than 80 distributors. And the distributor network will also participate by working with customers to supply IMT with used equipment for continued growth.
"We have so many customers who want to maximize the value of their money," Zipse said, "and now we'll not only be able to help them do that through premium IMT Certified vehicles, but we'll also be able to help them realize the best replacement cycles on their current IMT products."
Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc., a subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corporation [NYSE: OSK], began in 1961 as a business providing new tread designs for recapping tires. The company has grown to become the leading manufacturer and supplier of service vehicles, cranes, hydraulic loaders and air compressors for tire, mining, construction, material handling and utility markets around the world.
