IR Buys Czech Backhoe Maker, U.S. Distributor
Aug 1, 2001 12:00 PM
Ingersoll-Rand in Woodcliff Lake, N.J. purchased the stock of Superstav, spol. s.r.o., a Dobris, Czech Republic-based manufacturer of compact tractor loader backhoes. Ingersoll-Rand also bought the company's U.S. distributor Earth Force America in Charleston, S.C. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Superstav employs about 200 people. Both businesses were added to IR's Bobcat unit.
The acquisition of Superstav allows IR to expand its European operations and provide a “more cost-competitive base” to serve its customers, according to company president and CEO Herbert Henkel.
BACKHOES & ATTACHMENTS

Ingersoll-Rand recently introduced seven new models of compact loader backhoes — the BL 275, BL 370, BL 375, BL 470, BL 475, BL 570 and BL 575. They range in horsepower from 31.5 hp on the 270 to 56 hp on the 570 unit. These new units can excavate depths up to 12 feet and are designed for utility contractors, landscapers, plumbers and rental companies. The new models use Kubota diesel engines in non-turbo and turbo charged packages. Other standard features include four-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel steer for tight turning in confined areas.
Marty Mulrooney, president of The Mulrooney Co., Liverpool, N.Y., needed a backhoe loader to use in his everyday operations, loading and unloading trucks as well as moving mulch and stone. He wanted a machine that was small and maneuverable. “I use my BL-470 everyday,” Mulrooney says. “It has made moving materials more efficient because it's so easy to use. It is my right arm in the morning.”
