Our History:

In 1957, Roger Gerhart purchased a used REO dump truck and a Caterpillar crawler tractor and started Roger E Gerhart, Inc.  First work included small excavating jobs and soon grew into road building, bridge construction, trucking, demolition and coal mining.  In 1976 the company expanded operations and Gerhart Equipment Company was started.  The focus of the new company was the sales and service of heavy construction equipment.  The primary product of the company was Northwest draglines and cranes and Mack "off highway" trucks.  Gerhart Equipment Company became known world wide for sales and service of the Northwest brand of equipment.  In 2000 the business name was changed to Gerhart Machinery Company and it continues to provide outstanding sales, parts and services for the Northwest Brand and many other brands of heavy construction equipment.
