MH Equipment continues to monitor the changing landscape as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across the United States. We understand there are concerns regarding keeping businesses running effectively and efficiently during this time - especially when several industries around our communities are being forced to close temporarily.

We want to take this time to clarify that MH Equipment is classified as an Essential Business, as defined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), an agency in the Department of Homeland Security, and further state all of our facilities are open and ready to support our customers in the critical supply chain network.

While it is important to assist our customers with their material handling needs, we understand we must do so as safely as possible. Therefore, we are following all governmental and CDC recommendations, including but not limited to:

Restriction of all non-essential business travel including all commercial and personal vehicular travel between our locations.

Social distancing and increased attention to hygiene practices - hand washing, routine disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces and refraining from handshakes.

Paying close attention to personal well-being and consulting a doctor at the first indication of potential coronavirus symptoms.

Self-reporting and quarantine if in contact with someone known to have coronavirus.

Additionally, we have highlighted below considerations and procedural changes we are implementing for our customers to ensure safe business transactions:
