IPS appointed UK distributor for Grove Manlift parts

UK-based International supplier of replacement parts and after-sales service IPS has been appointed official parts distributor by MinnPar for the Grove Manlift product range in the UK and Ireland.

US-based MinnPar sells OEM and replacement parts for a range of manufacturers’ access products and specialises in ‘out of production’ and obsolete product lines. IPS will supply the UK and Ireland with Grove Manlift parts sourcing stock from MinnPar through a European distribution centre.

From the 1st August customers in the UK can purchase genuine Grove Manlift parts including the SM scissor range, MZ straight booms and articulated AM booms. Parts will be held in stock at IPS’s premises in Telford, UK. IPS will have access to Grove Manlift parts and service manuals, along with technical information to provide further customer support.

Sander Mellaard, IPS parts manager said: “With our existing distribution network and support services, we can offer MinnPar and its Grove Manlift customers a professional and improved parts sourcing solution.”

Art Ashworth, MinnPar’s sales and marketing vice president said: “We are extremely happy with the appointment. IPS has an excellent reputation and we have no doubt that together, we can offer the UK a faster and more efficient solution to sourcing their Grove Manlift parts.”
