Richardson Service 1991 Inc. – more often referred to as “RS91” – will offer the entire Takeuchi product line of compact excavators, skid steer loaders, track loaders and wheel loaders at its Conway, South Carolina, location.

In business since 1991, the dealership serves five counties along the Atlantic seaboard. The company started as a small local repair shop and has grown to include a large rental fleet of construction equipment. Takeuchi says RS91 has improved all aspects of its repair facility to offer customers even better service and repair.

“RS91 is well-respected in the areas they serve in South Carolina and continues to grow,” said Kim Robinson, director of sales at Takeuchi-US.

Takeuchi also announced that New Tec Inc. will become a dealer for the company serving 17 counties in Northwest Iowa. Headquartered in Hull, Iowa, New Tec will carry the full line of Takeuchi equipment.

Established in 2004, New Tec is known for new and used forklift trucks and construction equipment. The company has additional branch locations in Storm Lake, Iowa, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

New Tec also holds a partnership agreement with Rent-All Inc., which has three locations. Rent-All Inc. will carry Takeuchi machines at their locations in Storm Lake and Sioux Center, Iowa, as well as in Sioux Falls.

“They have built their business primarily on forklift sales and accessories,” said Takeuchi’s Robinson, “and now, as they enter a new period of growth, the full line of Takeuchi equipment really rounds out their lineup.”
