AmeraMex International, a provider of heavy equipment for logistics companies, infrastructure construction and forestry conservation, was awarded a five-year, $1.5 million equipment lease agreement. AmeraMex expects to ship the equipment to the customer by the end of October.

The five-year agreement is for one Taylor Machine Works X-550 forklift and two Taylor Machine Works X-360 forklifts. The X-550 and X-360 forklifts are capable of handling long duty cycles with a lift capacity of 55,000 and 35,000 pounds, respectively. Taylor Pneumatic Tire forklifts are engineered to meet the needs of the following industries: steel, aluminum, wood, lumber, concrete, precast, breakbulk, intermodal, ports, rail and stevedoring.

In addition to the forklifts, the customer will be leasing a LiuGong wheel loader. A wheel loader is a piece of heavy machinery used to load and carry materials across a job site. Wheel loaders can haul fine materials like sand or large objects like rock and demolition debris. Although they’re often used in construction, loaders also play a role in agriculture and industrial cleanup projects. The size of a wheel loader helps determine the industry for which it is best suited.
