PALFINGER officially opened its new North American Parts Distribution Center in Huntley, Illinois. The $15 million investment is designed to deliver parts faster, reduce equipment downtime, and strengthen service for dealers and customers across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Located near Chicago’s major interstate corridors, O’Hare International Airport, and Rockford’s cargo hub, the 177,000 square-foot modern indoor space stocks over 60,000 spare parts for PALFINGER’s full North America product range, including knuckle boom cranes, bucket trucks, truck-mounted forklifts, service cranes, hooklifts, cable hoists, and timber and refuse loaders.
An advanced AutoStore robotic system picks parts, enabling faster turnaround and greater reliability. At full capacity, the center is expected to process 75,000 shipments annually in partnership with LIT.
“Service is a growth driver for PALFINGER, and North America is one of our important markets,” says Andreas Klauser, CEO. “The Huntley facility is a major investment in keeping our customers up and running. It’s about speed, reliability, and demonstrating our commitment and confidence to this region. It’s also bringing our global standard of service even closer to our dealers and customers.”
The new Parts Distribution Center operates as the central hub for PALFINGER’s spare parts operations in North America, complementing the company’s growing online parts ordering system.
