Tyler Equipment

What Tyler Equipment does

Tyler Equipment Corporation is a family-owned authorized construction equipment dealership founded in 1922 and headquartered in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, with additional operations in Berlin, Connecticut, and Halifax, Massachusetts. The company distributes a portfolio of new and used heavy construction and material-handling equipment across more than 15 manufacturer lines, with Volvo Construction Equipment, SDLG, Sennebogen, Rogers Trailers, Rotobec, Rammer, Genesis, Geith, Rawson, Paladin, Konecranes, and HKD as represented brands. Underlying technology extends to OEM-supplied telematics (Volvo CareTrack via ActiveCare Direct), undercarriage wear measurement software, and oil-analysis-based condition diagnostics used to support the service and parts business.

The company operates a multi-line go-to-market combining one-time equipment sales (new and used), short-term rentals (weekly and monthly) with in-house trucking for delivery, parts distribution through dedicated departments in MA and CT, factory-trained technician service in-shop and via mobile service trucks, and customer-financing origination through Volvo Financial Services (including Smart Commercial Account programs). Sales motions are largely enterprise field-sales driven across Southern New England and the Tri-State Area (NY, NJ, PA), supported by physical showrooms and an online inventory listing presence.

Revenue is generated across five principal streams: new equipment sales, used equipment resale, equipment rentals, parts sales (described as the largest Volvo Construction parts line in Southern New England), and service/repairs, with financing acting as a transaction-fee enabler. Customer concentration sits across construction contractors, tree care and forestry operators, and scrap/recycling operators. The company has remained in continuous Tyler-family ownership across four generations, employs approximately 100 people, and was named Volvo CE 2019 Dealer of the Year.
