Hugg & Hall Equipment Company

What Hugg & Hall Equipment Company does

Hugg & Hall Equipment Company is a family-owned, full-line industrial and construction equipment dealer founded in 1956 and headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas. The company sells, rents, services, and supplies parts for new and used forklifts, aerial lifts, compact construction equipment, heavy earthmoving machinery, material handling systems, and utility/power equipment through 19 branch locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Mississippi, including an onsite presence at Bollinger Shipyards in Pascagoula, MS. It operates as an exclusive or core dealer for major OEMs including Toyota Material Handling, Taylor Machine Works (where it is the world's largest dealer), Bobcat, Crown Lift Trucks, Hitachi Construction, Shuttlewagon, and Combilift, and runs a specialized Taylor forklift rebuild program at facilities in El Dorado and Fort Smith.

The business combines transactional equipment sales, recurring rental contracts, a $10.5M+ parts inventory covering 46,000+ stocking part numbers, 24/7 emergency field service delivered by 320+ ASEC-certified technicians in a fleet of 400+ support vehicles, and ancillary lines in OSHA-compliant operator training, mobile storage, and utility services (portable power, compressed air, HVAC). Revenue is generated across six streams — equipment sales, rentals, parts, service contracts, utility services, and training — with quote-based pricing, flexible financing, and customized fleet maintenance programs that embed the dealer into multi-year customer operations.

Customer concentration is moderate and diversified across food processing (Tyson Foods), shipbuilding (Bollinger), steel (Nucor), automotive (Cooper Tires), chemicals (SNF Flopam), logistics (Safeway), construction (Crossland, CR Crawford), and event/nonprofit segments. The company has grown through four disclosed acquisitions (Arkla Taylor 2011, Westquip 2012, RPM Services 2016, Southern Material Handling 2022), a 2019 territory swap with Scott Equipment, a 2024 Hitachi dealer appointment, and an April 2026 partnership with Alquist 3D to distribute 3D concrete printing solutions, while maintaining 700+ team members and a Forbes 2026 America's Best-In-State Companies ranking (#6 in Arkansas).
