Peterson Cat is the family-owned authorized Cat dealer in Eugene. We provide new and used Cat equipment, parts, service, rentals, rental power, power systems, commercial truck engine service, and product support for customers throughout Eugene, Springfield, and Benton, Lane, and Linn counties.
From construction and forestry equipment to hydraulic hoses, field service, and equipment rentals, the Eugene team supports contractors, loggers, municipalities, and other businesses across the southern and central Willamette Valley and Oregon's central coast.
From your first equipment rental to your third Cat Certified Rebuild, we’re here to help your business start, grow, and thrive.
New and Used Equipment Sales in Eugene
The Eugene sales team helps contractors, loggers, public agencies, and equipment owners find machines for the work ahead. Choose from new Cat mini excavators, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, motor graders, and other equipment for construction, forestry, roadbuilding, and material handling. We can help you select a machine from local stock, locate equipment across Peterson’s inventory, or configure a factory order.
Shopping for used iron? Peterson’s used inventory includes Cat equipment and machines from other manufacturers, including forestry equipment as inventory allows. Whether you are buying your first excavator, adding a loader for a busy season, or replacing a production machine, talk with us about the hours, condition, attachments, and support you need. We can help match buckets, thumbs, grapples, and hydraulic work tools to the machine and application.
Equipment Financing and Leasing
A first machine should fit both the jobs you expect to do and the business you are building. Bring the Eugene team your project requirements, expected use, and budget so we can help compare new and used equipment, rental, leasing, and ownership options. Include the attachments, transport, maintenance, and service support you will need alongside the machine.
Ask about equipment financing through Cat Financial, leasing, rent-to-purchase options, trade-ins, and consignment sales. Our team can help you explore the available options for a first purchase or an established fleet. Financing and leasing are subject to credit approval and applicable terms.
Peterson also recommends applying for a Cat Commercial Account when planning your machine purchase. This revolving line of credit can be used for parts, service, attachments, and equipment rentals, giving you an account for ongoing support as well as the equipment itself. Subject to credit approval and account terms.
Machine Control and Construction Technology
Through SITECH Oregon, Peterson customers can add Trimble machine control and positioning technology to their equipment and jobsites. Ask about 2D and 3D grade-control options for excavators, dozers, motor graders, compact machines, and grading attachments, with a system selected for the machine and the work.
Technology is most useful when your crew knows how to put it to work. SITECH can help with setup, technical support, field service, and training in machine control, site positioning, and construction layout. If you need a rental excavator with machine control, ask the Eugene rental team to coordinate a suitable machine and technology package with SITECH.

Access to Peterson's Multi-State Parts Inventory
Peterson's $33 million+ parts inventory connects Eugene customers with stock across our Oregon, Washington, and Northern California locations. If a part is not on the shelf here, the team can check other Peterson stores and Caterpillar’s distribution network, confirm an expected arrival, and help you plan the repair.
Hydraulic Hoses Made On Site
Our Eugene hose shop fabricates replacement hydraulic hose assemblies on site for Cat equipment and many other makes, including Komatsu, John Deere, CASE, Bobcat, and Kubota. Bring the hose identification or assembly specifications so our parts team can match the hose, fittings, length, and application requirements.

Heavy Equipment Service in Eugene
The Eugene service shop handles scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, hydraulic repairs, major machine teardown, and engine and drivetrain component work. Our shop’s overhead cranes and repair bays support work on the larger machines that keep roadbuilding, forestry, excavation, and aggregate operations moving. Welding and fabrication capabilities also help customers repair and adapt work tools for demanding applications.
For an aging machine or a major repair decision, ask the service team to evaluate component repair, a machine rebuild, or a Cat Certified Rebuild through Peterson. We can help you compare the repair scope with your plans for the machine and coordinate the appropriate shop resources. Whether the work comes into Eugene or takes place at your jobsite, our aim is to help you make a practical plan for getting back to production.
Field and Emergency Service
Fully equipped Peterson field service trucks bring diagnostics, maintenance, and repair support to jobsites and customer facilities throughout Benton, Lane, and Linn counties. The Linn County dozer job pictured above is one example of that support in the field. Call with your location, machine serial number, and a description of the problem so we can coordinate the next step.
24-hour emergency service: 888-738-3776
Emergency callout fees will apply.
Fluid Analysis
Eugene is home to Peterson’s Fluid Analysis Laboratory. S·O·S℠ testing of oil, coolant, and diesel fuel can identify wear metals, contamination, and fluid deterioration that help explain equipment symptoms or reveal developing problems. Ask the parts counter for sampling kits and supplies, or contact the lab for help selecting a test for your machine, engine, or generator set.
Condition Monitoring
Condition Monitoring helps turn equipment information into maintenance decisions. With compatible hardware and a suitable subscription, VisionLink can provide machine hours, location, utilization, maintenance reminders, and equipment alerts. Ask the Eugene team how inspections, fluid-analysis results, and available machine data can work together to help plan service before a small issue becomes a larger repair.
Peterson Power Systems
Peterson Power Systems in Eugene supports temporary power and compressed-air needs for construction sites, industrial facilities, planned shutdowns, and emergency outages. The generator lineup photographed at the store includes eight towable units ranging from 65 kW to 425 kW, alongside industrial air compressors. Tell our team about your electrical load or air requirements, project location, and schedule so we can help select a suitable rental package.
For larger or more specialized projects, the Eugene team can draw on Peterson Power’s regional fleet, which includes generator rentals up to 2,000 kW as well as temperature-control equipment and compressed-air solutions. Fleet capacity is broader than the equipment pictured at this store; the unit supplied and its dispatch location depend on the project and availability. Ask about power distribution, connections, delivery, and support when planning the rental.
Power Systems Service and Support
The Eugene Power Systems shop provides diagnostics, maintenance, and major repair support for generator sets and Cat engines. The work shown here includes substantial disassembly of large power-generation equipment. Customers can also arrange field support for installed generators and industrial engines when service needs to take place at their facility or jobsite.
Power Systems support extends to Cat engines in industrial equipment and commercial truck engine service. If a Cat-powered air compressor, crusher, grinder, or other machine needs engine attention, contact us with the engine model and serial number so we can confirm the service scope. For a new or replacement generator system, the Eugene team can also connect you with Peterson Power’s sales and application specialists.
Serving Eugene Since Peterson Came to Oregon
Peterson Cat's history in Eugene dates to 2003, when Peterson became the Caterpillar dealer for southern Oregon. Before the transition was even complete, Peterson ordered 50 new Cat machines so customers would have equipment available from day one. Shortly after Peterson opened its doors, railcars loaded with new Caterpillar equipment lined the railroad spur behind the Eugene store — a dramatic introduction to Oregon's construction community.
Eugene has also remained closely connected to Caterpillar's forestry history. In 2011, the Cat 568 Log Loader debuted at the Oregon Logging Conference in Eugene. The machine incorporated major advances in hydraulic performance, swing torque and fuel efficiency developed for demanding logging applications in the Pacific Northwest.
