VLP An EquipmentShare Company

Celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2011, the heavy equipment company boasted six locations and over 100 employees in Kansas and Missouri. While technology has certainly changed over the last century, the company’s foundation has not. Jim Foreman, the company’s owner from 1978 to 2017, had a hands-on approach to common-sense customer satisfaction. As of 2020, EquipmentShare, the fastest growing construction equipment rental and technology solutions provider in the U.S., recently reached a deal to collaborate with the The Victor L. Phillips Company (VLP), a heavy equipment company. EquipmentShare closed on this agreement on February 28, 2020. The deal covers the five existing VLP locations within Missouri and Kansas.EquipmentShare’s wholly-owned subsidiary will be an authorized Case Construction Equipment, Epiroc, and Sennebogen dealer at all five aforementioned locations. All five locations will offer EquipmentShare’s standard equipment rental and retail sales services, as well as equipment repair and maintenance services, and parts support and sales.Established in 1911 as a heavy equipment dealer, VLP has a long history of serving mid-Missouri construction and heavy equipment markets.
