NEW IBERIA, LA Representing some of the most productive equipment brands in oil and gas, construction, agriculture, utility, forestry and material handling, ARDCO Equipment has opened a new dealership to serve customers in Louisiana and Texas.

ARDCO Equipment is a certified sales and service dealer for Yanmar agriculture equipment, construction machines, recreational vehicles, and industrial engines - the dealership also handles all legacy parts and service needs for existing Yanmar products. ARDCO Equipment is also the new Gulf Coast dealer for Prinoth tracked utility vehicles

"ARDCO has a storied history as a Louisiana equipment manufacturer since 1955," said David Langley, Director of Business Development and Operations for ARDCO Equipment. "We have also operated our own rental fleet for years, and the timing was right to take the next step and become a full-service dealer to meet all of our customers' needs. We're thrilled to be the official dealer in the region for Yanmar, Prinoth, Pettibone and Barko, and we look forward to building upon ARDCO's reputation as The Off-Road Standard as we establish ARDCO Equipment."

ARDCO offers its own Articulating Multi-Purpose Truck (AMT), a powerful and rugged vehicle designed to accept a wide array of attachments and work in any environment, from urban construction projects to extreme off-road jobsites. Other equipment available at the new dealership includes Pettibone Cary-Lift pipe handlers and Extendo telehandlers, Barko forestry loaders and land clearing equipment, MAXXD trailers, and BEFCO tractor implements.

In addition to sales and service of new products, ARDCO Equipment provides used equipment sales and a diverse fleet of rental equipment.
