Duke Arnold adds Merlo and Snorkel

Duke Arnold & Associates has been appointed as a manufacturer’s representative for Merlo telehandlers and Snorkel aerial work platforms for the states of Texas and Oklahoma.

Duke Arnold founded the Texas based company in 1989, following a long career with a major manufacturing company. The company was expanded in December 2011 with the appointment of Robby Weatherby, who had previously worked with Equipment Depot and Bobcat of North Texas.

Arnold said: "I founded this company based on the simple idea that quality customers want quality products from quality vendors. Snorkel has a reputation for simple, robust and high quality machines. The team there is also very responsive and shares our strategic, customer-oriented approach to business."

Duke Arnold & Associates also represents Grouser ‘over the tyre’ tracks, Harlo rough terrain fork trucks and Virnig Manufacturing skid loader attachments.

Mike Stevenson, Snorkel's sales manager for the South Central Territory and
Tennessee, said: "Duke Arnold unquestionably has all the key attributes we look for in a manufacturer's representative. This is a company with a highly experienced, customer-focused management team and a long track record of success."
