Landmark Equipment, a long time member of the Pettibone dealer network based in Portland, Oregon, has a change in ownership. Serving material handling customers in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and northern California, Landmark Equipment has sold and serviced the Pettibone Cary-Lift product line for more than 30 years, and now also carries Pettibone Extendo and Traverse telehandlers.
The dealership was originally established in 1984 under the name Parts Company Northwest by Earl Rund and his partners, becoming Landmark Equipment in 1993. The sole owner since 2006, Rund is retiring and has sold Landmark Equipment to long term employees John Gunderson and Rick Nivens.
Landmark Equipment has been very successful with the Cary-Lift lineup, particularly with customers who move and stack items such as coated pipe and treated wooden poles. Exclusively focused on Pettibone for new equipment sales, Landmark added the Extendo and Traverse telehandlers to its offering in 2016. The company also has a long history of refurbishing and supplying used Pettibone parts from decades-old machines.
