What Our Customers Say

  • "I recommend WIE to anyone who has industrial equipment needs!"

    We called Western Industrial Equipment to do a repair on our Linde forklift. I spoke with Janette, she was very kind over the phone. Her son Dan came and fixed the forklift in a very timely fashion. Dan was very professional, educated and we were extremely satisfied with his service. I recommend WIE to anyone who has industrial equipment needs.
