Company History

In the Beginning...

American Mobile Power was founded in 1992 by Darrell “Woody” Brandon.  A natural entrepreneur, Woody had owned his own retail business, as well as had an extensive background of sales in the agriculture business.  With his knowledge of agriculture and hydraulics, Woody decided that he could offer a better hydraulic reservoir than what was on the market at that time.  At the age of 49, Mr. Brandon embarked on this adventure accompanied by his wife Yvonne.  Working from a small office and a garage, their idea was to become the largest distributor of hydraulic tanks through customer service and availability.

The first prototype was the A2000, 50-gallon polyethylene upright tank. The poly tank took off in sales, but it seemed a lot of customers were in the market for metal tanks.  To keep up with the ever-growing tank market, Woody had to develop his own manufacturing methods.  During this period, Woody brought John Melching into the business to help expand.  American Mobile Power started to purchase used equipment and machinery.  As business grew, so did the ability to utilize better equipment for streamlining operations, including our first robotic welder in 2002 and additional robots in 2005.  American Mobile Power now uses multiple weld methods and precision CNC machines to provide our customers with value added solutions.
