Buying your first machine, renting for the next job, or planning a major repair? Start with a local team that can help with all three.
New and Used Equipment Sales in Clackamas
A machine purchase starts with the work it needs to do. Talk with our sales team about mini excavators, compact track loaders, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, dozers, excavators, wheel loaders, and attachments for excavation, site development, roadwork, utilities, and property maintenance.
Compare new Cat equipment with available used machines, including other makes when listed in Peterson’s inventory. The Clackamas team can help you explore local stock and equipment across Peterson locations. Tell us about your digging depth, access limits, lifting needs, attachment requirements, and transportation so we can help narrow the options.
Buying Your First Machine?
Bring us the jobs you expect to take on, your budget, and the equipment you already own. We can help compare a purchase with renting for occasional work and discuss a package that includes the buckets, thumb, hydraulic attachments, maintenance, and support you will need.
Ask about financing and leasing through Cat Financial. Peterson also recommends applying for a Cat Commercial Account, a revolving line of credit for parts, service, attachments, and equipment rentals. Financing and account availability are subject to credit approval and applicable terms.
Machine Control Through SITECH Oregon
Planning grading, excavation, or layout work? Ask about Trimble machine control and positioning technology through SITECH Oregon. Discuss the machine, attachments, design files, and accuracy your work requires, along with setup and training. For a rental machine with grade control, contact the rental team to confirm a compatible machine and technology package for your dates.
Peterson Cat Rentals in Clackamas
Peterson Cat Rentals helps you equip a short project, handle a seasonal increase in work, or keep going while another machine is in the shop. Ask about excavators, compact track loaders, attachments, aerial equipment, and other tools for your job.
The Clackamas store stocks boom lifts, scissor lifts, light towers, and towable welders. Tell the rental team what you need to accomplish, where the equipment will work, and your dates. Specific machines, attachments, and quantities depend on availability.
A Rental Plan for the Whole Job
Peterson’s broader rental fleet includes thousands of units, giving the team options beyond the equipment pictured here. Discuss the full equipment list, compatible attachments, delivery and pickup, and the support you will need during the rental.

Cat Parts and Hydraulic Hoses in Clackamas
Order Parts for Your Machine
Contact our parts team for Genuine Cat Parts, including filters, fluids, batteries, seals, ground engaging tools, undercarriage parts, and repair components. Have your machine or engine serial number ready so the team can identify the right parts and confirm availability.
Call 503-280-1872, visit the counter, or order through Parts.Cat.Com. Choose Clackamas for pickup when ordering online. If an item is not on the local shelf, ask the team to check Peterson’s wider inventory and Caterpillar’s distribution network and confirm an expected arrival.
Hydraulic Hoses Made On Site
Clackamas has a hydraulic hose bench for building replacement assemblies. Bring the hose identification or assembly specifications so the team can confirm the fittings, length, pressure requirements, and application.
Need a hose for another make of equipment? Ask the parts team about your machine and hose requirements. Compatibility depends on the assembly and available fittings.
Next-Day Parts. Two-Day Repair.
Ask about Peterson’s Services Commitment with a qualifying Cat Customer Value Agreement. Parts Support CVA – Convenience includes next-business-day availability for eligible parts. Premium Service CVA – Performance adds a two-business-day completion commitment for qualifying common repairs.
Coverage applies to enrolled machines and eligible work under the agreement’s terms. Have the team confirm which parts, repairs, and support level apply to your machine.
Heavy Equipment Service and Rebuilds in Clackamas
The Clackamas shop supports equipment owners from maintenance and troubleshooting through major machine work. The D6N teardown and completed Cat Certified Rebuild pictured here show the depth of work behind the service counter.
For an aging machine or a substantial repair, talk with our service team about the condition of the equipment, the work you need it to do, and your plans for keeping it. We can help evaluate repair and rebuild options and coordinate the appropriate shop resources. Call 503-280-1553 with the model, serial number, symptoms, and service history.

The lab and service team can help select a test and use the findings alongside the machine’s symptoms and maintenance history.
Rental Power and Peterson Power Support
For temporary power, industrial compressed air, or temperature control, contact Peterson Power about a rental package for your project. Its regional generator fleet includes units from 20 to 2,000 kW, with equipment selection and dispatch arranged around the application and availability.
