“We are grateful for our long and rewarding relationship with Carson Material Handling,” said Rick Schiel, Director, Distribution Management. “This expansion signifies Carson Material Handling’s continued commitment to growth and being a trusted resource for their client’s needs.”

For almost 20 years, Carson Material Handling has been a fleet management solutions provider throughout North Carolina and North-Western South Carolina. Their one-stop-shop process for client challenges includes creating a holistic approach by providing equipment expertise, fleet automation, and service support throughout the customer’s life-cycle journey.

“As a Linde-only dealership, we made a commitment to continue to grow and expand our footprint, market share, and capabilities within North and South Carolina,” said Duane Wilson, CEO of Carson Material Handling.  “Our J&J Forklift Services acquisition provides an opportunity to bring our entire package of tested fleet management solutions to the upstate South Carolina market.
