The company’s complete fleet of aerial work platforms and related equipment is now available in Houston for rent, purchase and leasing options. Privately owned equipment can also be serviced from this new location.

Staffed by a group of native Texans, Trico Lift’s newest branch is led by general manager Billy Abshire, service manager Greg Mayo and territory managers Marie Harrington and Terry Kersh.

“Houston will serve as our satellite Fleet Center complete with hundreds of scissor and boomlifts in all sizes,” said CEO and president Ken Pustizzi. “In strategically planning the expansion of our national presence, Texas was a logical choice and where better than Houston.”

“Trico Lift has earned the distinction as ‘the up-time company’ for always having reliable, safe equipment and we’re excited to be bringing our preferred services to the Houston market,” Abshire said.
