CEG

Dobbs Equipment held a two-day open house March 21 and 22, 2024, to commemorate the grand opening of its new Melbourne, Fla., branch facility.

A steady crowd made it through the event both days and enjoyed some great Dobbs hospitality including a BBQ lunch, prizes, giveaways, facility tours and more.

Many of Dobbs vendor-partners turned out to support and assist with displays of products and services available through this location. Guests had "free roam" of the facility and were able to enjoy some time with their Dobbs sales, parts and service representatives.

The location includes an in-house track press area and a completely enclosed wash bay with water filtration system (a rare building feature in south and central Florida).

The branch is positioned on a 7-acre I-95 frontage footprint. The building encompasses more than 22,000 sq. ft. under roof with more than 10,000 sq. ft. dedicated to the shop area. The product support functions are supported by 10 full-service bays with multiple overhead cranes and well-stocked parts area. Six field service trucks are dispatched from this location.

John Deere, the entire Wirtgen Group of products, LeeBoy, Topcon, Finn, Teleo, as well as products from Abra Equipment Supply and other specialty products are available at this location.

This new Dobbs Equipment branch is located at 1705 Columbia Lane, Melbourne, Fla. For more information, visit www.dobbsequipment.com. CEG
