EPW to open second parts depot

Equipment Parts Wholesale (EPW), the US based aerial lift replacement parts supplier is opening a new parts distribution centre in Louisville, Kentucky in August.

The new location is in addition to its existing warehouse and corporate office in Fresno, California.

The aim of the new centre is to improve transit times, while the company claims customers will see freight savings of to 90 percent.

Brian MacFarland, general manager of EPW said: “More than ever, the industry is demanding faster shipping -often overnight - without breaking the bank to get it. This second distribution centre allows us to meet those demands with all our customers, which translates into maximum savings when purchasing from EPW”. What better way to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, by making our service better for the people who gave us the opportunity to exist in the first place.”

As an incentive to kick start the new operation EPW is lowering its minimum order to $350 for free ground freight starting July 1st.
The Kentucky location will be organised similarly to its California warehouse as far as stock, warehouse staff and shipping procedures are concerned.

Customer pick-ups will also be available and will receive a five percent discount. Ordering procedures will be the same for all customers no matter where they are located or how they prefer to order. The corporate office will also open an hour earlier to better accommodate callers on the East Coast.
Opening day is scheduled for August 1. The address for EPW’s new warehouse will be:4851 Jennings Lane, Louisville, Kentucky. Hours: M-F 8:00am-5:00pm ET
