Hyundai Material Handling (HMH) has announced the winners of this year’s dealer awards for its lift truck and materials handling equipment. In a ceremony held March 12 at Virtue Rooftop Bar, during MODEX 2024, Hyundai presented six dealers with awards in four main categories: Peak Performer, The Summit Award, The Apex Award, and The Chuck Leone Award for Dealer of the Year.

“We applaud the achievements of these outstanding dealers and are grateful to them for their stellar contributions to Hyundai Material Handling,” said HMH Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Lewis Byers. “These six honorees exemplify our dedication to quality and commitment to our customers.”

The Peak Performer Awards are presented to dealers that eclipse their goals in units, parts and market share. This year’s winners are Hurricane Industrial (small market-less than 500 units); New England Lift Truck (medium market-500 – 1,499 units): and Lift Solutions (large market-1,500-plus units). Lone Star Forklift garnered this year’s Apex Award, and HMH recognized Canadian dealer Leavitt Machinery with its penultimate, the Summit Award.

HMH North America is headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, and has 60+ dealers represented in 166 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
