Fourth-generation, family-owned John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer Martin Equipment celebrated the groundbreaking of a new facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 13. Construction on the facility, located at 7708 6th St. SW, is expected to be completed next summer.
The new facility will boast more than double the footprint of the existing Cedar Rapids location at 2900 6th St. SW. With more than 21,500 sq. ft. of space, the building includes a 60% increase in service bays, featuring large capacity cranes to easily accommodate efficient work on production class equipment. The increased service shop will also feature full-service cylinder bench and repair, along with full-service hose making capabilities. The expanded space aids the dealer’s ability to support big iron at an even higher level with storage capacity for in-stock parts increasing by more than 300%
Counties covered by the new Cedar Rapids facility include Benton, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Poweshiek, Tama and Washington.
