Peterson Machinery Co.’s recent open house event at the Caterpillar® dealership’s Klamath Falls store was a great success, and attracted many Klamath County residents. The company invited the community to celebrate the extensive facilities remodel and visit the new Cat Rental Store (CRS) at the location.

Customers looked over the construction, agriculture, generator, and air compressor inventory as well as numerous allied equipment rental lines, and took the opportunity to learn more about Peterson Machinery, the authorized Caterpillar dealership for central and southern Oregon. Klamath Falls County Commissioner John Elliott was on hand to enjoy the festivities and to support the expanded role of the dealership for the area.

Store Manager Tim Murphy is looking forward to growing the Klamath Falls operation, especially through the addition of the rental store. “Rental equipment is often the best choice for a business owner, especially in a tough economy. With an extensive inventory of machines, tools, lifts, trucks and more, we can help contractors, farmers, and homeowners get their work done while staying within their budget. We’re pleased to be bringing the rental products and services of over 30 brand-name manufacturers to the Klamath Falls region.”

The dealership’s Klamath Falls store is located at 1434 South 6th Street and is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am – 5:00 pm. The telephone number is 541-850-8658.
