Western Power & Equipment Corp., one of the largest distributors of Case equipment in the United States, with 11 locations in the western states and Alaska, will now represent Champion Motor Graders throughout its region, including locations in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

“We sold Champion compact graders before,” said Dean McLain, president and CEO of Vancouver, Wash.-based Western Power. “It was a very successful line, well accepted by customers and well supported by the company. The product line was unavailable to us for the past few years and our managers could see that they were missing out on some business opportunities because of it.”

“These graders really round out our ability to fully serve the equipment needs of paving contractors,” said Chuck Blanton, who manages two WP&E branches in Washington. “They complement our Bomag and ProPaver lines, they are the right size to work around today’s smaller, more crowded housing lots.”

Champion Motor Graders is based in Charlotte, N.C.
