“We first began using Wesley’s Pack Mule in 2004,” explains Todd Ivester of Ellett Brother, LLC, a nationwide marketer and supplier of outdoor sporting goods products with a large distribution network and an impressive client and customer list. “We now have over 40 Pack Mule electric utility vehicle units.” says Ivester, “and they are being used in multiple distribution centers.”
Ellett Brothers markets and distributes a wide range of products and accessories for hunting and shooting sports, marine, camping, archery, and other outdoor activities. With over 60,000 SKU's in their inventory – including firearms, reloading, marine electronics, trolling motors, optics, cutlery, archery equipment, ammunition, leather goods, camping equipment, sportsman gifts, and a variety of other outdoor sporting goods products – Ellett Brothers works its Pack Mules hard. But the Pack Mule passes the test with flying colors by giving the company the reliable and dependable kind of utility vehicles it needs to keep pace with orders and maintain a market advantage over the competition.
“The units played an important role in helping us improve order picking and receiving efficiencies,” says Ivester. As any business knows, saving time and manpower – while controlling overhead and maximizing productivity – is the key to not just surviving the recession but thriving in any economic climate. Ellett Brothers is no newcomer to the industry, having grown in size and reputation since the firm was first launched back in 1933. The company features recognized brand names including legendary names such as Remington, Ruger, Browning, Winchester, Smith & Wesson, Daisy, and Coleman. Ellett Brothers products are sold to the customers of at least 20,000 independent retailers in all 50 states, and the company purchases inventory from 800 manufacturers and suppliers.

Speeding all of those shipments along and helping to keep the company’s vast inventory organized and fully stocked, the Pack Mule from Wesley International chases stock with cutting edge efficiency. The Pack Mule not only gets the job done right, but it also provides a powerful green-friendly solution for increasing efficiency, safety and profit in distribution centers and warehouses.
The popular Pack Mule features innovative rear step ladders that allow operators easier access to shelved inventory, plus a slim and trim design that makes navigation through narrow aisles safer, faster, and easier than ever before. With zero emissions these electric utility workhorses keep the workplace safe, comfortable, free of unnecessary noise and air pollution, and constantly save money – regardless of how high gas prices may go. At Ellett Brothers those energy savings add up fast, because in one facility alone the company has a quarter of a million square feet of warehouse and office space. But thanks to the Pack Mule from Wesley International, covering that expansive piece of real estate – and doing all the heavy lifting along the way – is no sweat. Each Pack Mule in the SC 700 Series cans carry materials and tow up an entire ton of weight, while helping to carry companies like Ellett Brothers to outstanding levels of success.
No wonder nationwide manufacturers have honored Ellett Brothers by voting it Distributor of the Year six different times, and no wonder the Pack Mule is fast becoming the stock chaser of choice for leading American distribution companies.
