Big Joe Donates Custom Walkie Stacker to University of Wisconsin-Madison’s College of Engineering

Join us on a journey from basement to breakthrough as we retire this decades-old workhorse and donate a brand new IBH manual stacker—custom painted in UW red and white—to support the next generation of engineers.
