The Peterson Difference | Since 1936

To meet the needs of the modern contractor and now DIY home owners, Peterson the Cat Rental Store offers a unique blend of heavy equipment and specialty tools designed to make any project easier, no matter the scale.

The Cat Rental Store is part of the larger Peterson family of companies, and our unique capabilities as an organization give you access to everything from on-highway trucks to state-of-the-art technology solutions for vertical construction projects.

Peterson itself was founded in 1936 as a one-store operation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since then our territory has grown drastically, but our commitment to keeping customers as our top priority remains to this day.

 

Your Headquarters for Cat Rental Equipment in Oregon and Southwest Washington

When most people think of heavy equipment, the name "Caterpillar" frequently comes to mind. Since its founding in 1925, Caterpillar has led the way when it comes to quality and innovation.

They're also user-friendly, enabling your operators to work more efficiently.

You'll find a variety of earthmoving machines that are staples at virtually every construction site, like bulldozers, skid steer loaders, backhoes and wheel loaders, as well as compactors, material handling equipment and more. 

We also carry an assortment of attachments to increase the versatility and productivity of your Cat rental equipment.
