MEC Aerial Work Platforms has named Ray Hayles MFG Sales as its new sales representative in Texas and the Southeast.

MEC Aerial Work Platforms has named Ray Hayles MFG Sales as its new sales representative in Texas and the Southeast.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to increase our presence in a key region that has been historically underrepresented,” said Jim Tolle, president of MEC Aerial Work Platforms. “The Ray Hayles organization has a solid track record and is well known and respected for outstanding customer service.”

Ray Hayles MFG Sales represents various manufactures in eight states — Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. The move is strategic for both companies as MEC has announced its intention to enter the self-propelled boomlift market this year and the Hayles company has relationships with many rental companies in the region.

“We have been looking to represent a full-line scissorlift manufacturer for several years and MEC provides the most comprehensive range of high-quality, U.S.-manufactured scissorlifts available in North America,” said Ray Hayles III. “We are also representing the MEC telehandler line and look forward to tremendous opportunities with MEC’s future self-propelled boom products as well.”

MEC is based in Selma, Calif.
