Sukut Equipment, Inc. announced today that California's largest fleet of heavy earthmoving equipment will now be available for lease worldwide.
The announcement follows a major expansion of Sukut's equipment rental division (http://www.sukut.com/company/equipment.phpPHPSESSID=0a196edb8fb3976a06a581a85f09332e), and makes
available for lease more than 250 pieces of technologically advanced equipment. The well-maintained rental fleet numbers one of the largest in the world with 120 CAT 651 and 657 scrapers.
Mike Ortiz, president of Sukut Equipment Inc., said the company already has seen a big demand for its rigid 60- and 100-ton rock trucks, which currently are in short supply on rental and
dealership lots. Other noteworthy equipment includes 33 dozers ranging from D-10Ls to D-8s.
Sukut's reputation for environmental stewardship also confers on its equipment rental customers a distinct edge over the competition. As the industry leader in exceeding California's
strict air quality emission standards for earthmoving equipment, Sukut leases some of the most environmentally advanced machinery in the industry. Its equipment is also available with
global positioning systems.
"We voluntarily developed an innovative green process to re-power our equipment long before California implemented its current stricter requirements. As a market leader, it is our
responsibility to advocate bold changes that improve the environment and the building industry," said Sukut CEO Michael Crawford.
Sukut Equipment (http://www.sukut.com), Inc. was founded 20 years ago. Prior to offering its fleet for worldwide leasing, its equipment has been used
primarily by Sukut Construction, Inc., California's largest mass excavation and grading contractor, moving 150 million cubic yards of earth a year.
Sukut Equipment has been recognized as one of the top 25 construction innovators in the world (http://enr.construction.com/people/AOE-Gallery/newsmakers/070108/070108-1.asp) and top 10 green
companies in Orange County. Its equipment has been used on some of the country's largest and most complex construction. Its dozers, scrapers and excavators have been put to work on many
types of projects including residential, commercial, industrial and retail development mass grading; public works; flood and storm water pipe and structures; highway, roads and
infrastructure construction; golf courses and resorts; landfill construction and environmental cleanups; and emergency landslide repair and stabilization. Sukut Equipment is headquartered
in Santa Ana, California.
