Talbert Manufacturing has named Hale Trailer Brake & Wheel, Voorhees, N.J., as its Top Dealer for the sixth straight year.

The company sold more Talbert Manufacturing trailers, parts and service than any other Talbert dealer in North America.

“We can’t say enough about Hale and how much Talbert values its partnership,” said Talbert Vice President of Sales and Marketing Greg D. Smith. “When you combine their talented, dedicated team with 13 locations and a high capacity for inventory and parts, it’s easy to see why Hale continues to lead our dealer network year after year.”

Talbert also named Columbus Equipment Company, Columbus, Ohio, as its Most Improved Dealer of 2012. Columbus more than doubled its sales of Talbert trailers, parts and equipment in 2012 over 2011, and in doing so made Talbert’s Top 10 Dealer list.

“No other company in our dealer network made the gains that Columbus Equipment Company made in 2012 in terms of Talbert sales,” Smith said. “In our eyes, Columbus has claimed its place among the best of the best in the industry. We’re proud to call them our partner.”
