BOSTON, MASS.

The equipment acquired by Gordon Brothers Group’s Commercial & Industrial Division consists of Caterpillar crawler tractors, hydraulic excavators, motor scrapers, motor graders, wheel loaders, articulated end dump trucks, reclaimers and compactors. This asset purchase also included late model Kenworth, Peterbilt and Mack truck tractors, fuel lube, water and service trucks, Ford and Chevrolet pickups, mechanics trucks and heavy capacity low boy equipment transport trailers.
