Finding a good quality, small tractor, excavator or rubber track dumper, can be a real problem. That fact was on Ivor Venema's mind when he went shopping for used machinery parts in Japan in the early 1990’s.
Raised in the equipment business, Ivor Venema and partner, John Glazema, founded Handlers Used Equipment, Ltd. in 1991 to sell used equipment and used parts. On one buying trip, he happened on an export dealer with dozens of compact tractors for sale. "Most of the used compact tractors of this size and age in the U.S. and Canada have very high hours and are in such poor condition you can't find a decent one, " he says. "Most of these were only slightly used by comparison, with around 1,500 hours or less. Venema bought 140 older 4-WD tractors in the 14 to 45 hp range, all with low hours and in fairly good shape." He imported them into Canada to refurbish and sell.
Since that beginning, the company has become one of the largest North American importers of used Japanese tractors and has continued to add other farm and industrial equipment to their lineup over the years. Most recently Handlers has brought in the versatile used rubber track dumpers. Their low ground compaction, traction and ability to climb steep grades has made these machines extremely popular for a variety of agricultural and industrial uses. Handlers is aslo proud to introduce a complete line of new Morooka dumpers from Japan.
When equipment arrives at Handlers, it's totally refurbished, from front to back and from seals to decals. "We give them a complete run up and replace all the fluids, filters, and any seals that could possibly leak. We put in new batteries and cable clamps and replace worn tires or tracks. Bearings, sprockets and hydraulic cylinders are all inspected and replaced if necessary. If there are dents or dings, those can be taken care of by the in house autobody repair specialist and then repainted in Handlers paint shop. By doing all our work in-house, Handlers confidently stands behind each piece of equipment it sells."
