Jan 2019 - Present
I manage Railquip's accounts for all Lifting Equipment and brought with me a new product line for Non-Rail associated Turntables. Lifting Equipment includes Portable Jacks for Railcars and Locomotives, In-ground hoist systems for Transit Railroads, Body Hoists/Stands, Drop Tables, Truck Repair Hoists and much more, including Rail associate turntables for trucks/bogies or full rail vehicles. I also handle other rail associated products as needed like Sanding systems which include our portable sand trailer and much more. Turntables for our non-rail product line includes Residential Car Turntables for Driveways or Garages, Commercial Vehicle Turntables for Loading Docks, Heavy Truck Turntables, Portable Construction Turntables, Exhibition, Display, Showroom Turntables, Revolving Restaurants and Bars, Cable Laying Carousels, Auditorium Seating Turntables and much more. I work with my customers from the beginning of the sales process, throughout the entire life of the project as a project manager, try to be onsite for every installation and continue to assist with customer service afterwards. I work with people worldwide and enjoy finding solutions to my customers needs and bringing people together for a successful project. Most importantly, I answer my phone. Show less
