Peter Mangelli is general manager of the newly opened Trico Lift branch in Manassas, Va.

Trico Lift recently opened a new location in Manassas, Va. The new location is strategically located for customers served in the greater North Virginia areas. Trico Lift previously managed this region’s operations from a location in Gainesville, Va., which it occupied for more than eight years.

Spearheading the new North Virginia operation is Peter Mangelli, general manager of the Manassas facility. Mangelli has more than 15 years of equipment rental and construction business experience having worked in management, sales and marketing.

“We’re very excited to have a new and larger Trico Lift location to elevate our prominence in the North Virginia business community,” Mangelli said. “This new North Virginia branch location will enable us to offer our full line of services to our customers here and help us to have a stronger business presence in the region’s construction and industrial markets.”

All employees from the company’s former Gainesville operation are now in Manassas including service manager Jimmy Graves, of Front Royal. Graves now manages all services and parts operations for the branch.

Millville, N.J.-based Trico Lift is a privately owned provider of aerial work platforms with nine locations serving customers in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Gulf regions. It is No. 45 on the RER 100.
