Tractor & Equipment Buys 50 Acres for New Williston, N.D., Rental Center

Tractor & Equipment Co. has acquired 50 acres of property in the Bakken Industrial Park north of Williston, N.D., to build a full-service T&E The Cat Rental Store facility providing machinery, electrical power generation, air compression and mobile air-conditioning rentals.

“T&E The Cat Rental Store already has the largest equipment rental fleet in the Bakken, and this investment will allow us to provide truly unrivaled local support to our rental customers,” said Troy Hickey, vice president of sales and marketing for Tractor & Equipment. “When our new facility opens mid-2013, we will greatly increase our overall rental capacity in western North Dakota and eastern Montana, adding approximately 40,000 square feet with 12 full-service bays and other supporting areas for the rental business.”

Tractor & Equipment will continue to operate sales, parts, rental and service operations at its current Williston facility.

Tractor & Equipment has seven facilities in six cities. It services 44 counties in western North Dakota, central and eastern Montana, and northern Wyoming. Tractor & Equipment was founded in 1929.
