Riekes Equipment in Omaha, Nebraska is quite proud of their Customer Experience Center and rightfully so.  This state-of-the-art showroom not only allows prospective customers to see many of the latest material handling innovations offered by the company but, it also provides them with a chance to test the equipment first-hand.

One such example is the Manual KOOI-REACHFORKS® display.  Ed Ketcham, Sales Manager, says, “It’s awesome to have those inventive lift truck forks here as this allows customers to see how easy they are to use and they’re able to gain a better understanding of how KOOI-Forks can be applied for handling differing load sizes, dual pallet handling and more”. Ed says, “The KOOI-Forks provide a nice complement to our beautiful 9,000 sq. ft. Customer Experience Center”.  Riekes conducts scheduled tours of close to an hour however, visitors are encouraged to get hands-on with the equipment, so your tour may last longer.
After visiting over 20 different stations including the Meijer Handling Solutions display, you will leave the Customer Experience Center having vastly expanded your knowledge of the material handling business and what Riekes Equipment has to offer. Together with the knowledge of our key suppliers like Mike Yacks, Sales Manager of Meijer Handling Solutions, Inc., we have the right tools to offer the most suitable solutions”.
