Our Story
In 1980, Petersen Heavy Equipment LLC began as an undercarriage rebuild business, started by Kelly’s parents. Over the years, the undercarriage rebuilding market shifted due to overseas competition, leading Kelly to pursue further education. He attended Milford, specializing in heavy equipment, and has worked around machinery since he was just 15 years old. With a passion for diesel trucks and construction equipment, Kelly's hands-on experience combined with two associate degrees in applied science and diesel truck construction equipment has been the foundation of our business.
