Equipment Depot Marks 85thYear In Material Handling and Contractor Services Industries

Houston, TX, January 18, 2024 -- Equipment Depot, America's largest independently operated material handling and rental equipment source, is proud to celebrate 85 years of serving its customers.

2024 marks a significant milestone in the company's rich history. Prior to Equipment Depot's rebranding and name change in 1995, the company was formally known as Central Texas Clarklift.

It was acquired again in 2019 by Mitsubishi Logisnext North America, which is owned by the world's third largest material handling group, Mitsubishi Logisnext. Soon after, Equipment Depot purchased Southern California Material Handling (SCMH), founded in 1939. SCMH became the company's oldest legacy branch, establishing Equipment Depot's combined years of serving customers.


“Over the past 85 years, Equipment Depot has become a uniquely diverse and innovative company,” said Anthony Garcia, President of Equipment Depot. “This transformative journey represents years of commitment and passion from so many exceptional individuals.” Garcia adds, “We plan on celebrating our achievement by recognizing the people who continue to make Equipment Depot a leader in the industry — our employees and the customers we serve everyday.”

Equipment Deport is planning company-wide programs to celebrate its 85 years, such as recognizing the hardworking employees who live by their Core Values –Passion to Perform, Trust to Act, Act Responsibly, and Make it Fun, and inviting new and existing customers to take advantage of special incentives on their products and services as a tribute to the company’s milestones.

As Equipment Depot looks toward the future, the company remains committed to delivering excellence, embracing emerging technologies, and fostering strong customer partnerships. The 85th anniversary celebration reflects the company's resilience, adaptability, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
