Atlas Copco Opens Regional Service Center in Denver

Words: Brent NorthAtlas Copco Construction Tools LLC announced the opening of a new regional service center in Denver. The new facility is the third Atlas Copco service center in the United States, joining established centers in Cleveland, Ohio, and Austin, Texas.

The new site provides Atlas Copco with an excellent logistical location to provide timely service to end users of heavy hydraulic products in the western United States.

The company has hired Ron Brooks as service center manager for the Denver location. Brooks previously held the position of locomotive general foreman at Union Pacific Railroad and has 12 years of experience working in the heavy machinery and service management industry.

In addition to a fully equipped workshop, the center has a dedicated service truck — including an 8,000-pound crane — available to offer assistance with new equipment setup or maintenance in the field. The Denver location places trained Atlas Copco technicians within a day's drive of West Coast customers.

Services offered at the new center will include field maintenance, machine adjustments, operator training, immediate parts availability, service contracts and agreements, and practical application training for both customers and distributors.
