KOHLER, Wis., Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its ongoing commitment to help rental yards and other fleet owners maximize productivity and profit, KOHLER has joined the rapidly-expanding SmartEquip Network. Owners of KOHLER-powered equipment with access to the network will now benefit from real-time digital availability to parts catalogs, product manuals and many other critical support materials needed to keep their KOHLER engines – and their businesses – performing optimally.
"We decided to join the SmartEquip Network based on feedback we received from many KOHLER customers in the rental industry who praised the platform for its usability and impact," said Manish Mathur, director of aftermarket parts and service for KOHLER Engines. "With our gas and diesel engines proliferating rental yards across the country and the rapid acceptance of SmartEquip as the industry's go-to resource for service parts, it seemed like the ideal time to jump onboard – and we're excited about it."
