Serving the Utility and Specialty Concrete Industries

Gary Carlson Equipment was launched in 2003 based on a simple philosophy: focus on a select group of customers we know personally; focus on a limited product set with an emphasis on cutting-edge technologies; and focus on Service to make GCE a preferred supplier in our market space. Our original product focus was rental and sales of Trench Safety, large water pumps and specialty concrete equipment.

To accomplish these goals we assembled a veteran team – with an average of more than 20 years industry experience. We committed to in-stock and local Inventory availability we feel is crucial to your needs. We are a 24/7 service organization.

The company grew and prospered. In 2013 we added a second location in Roseville and broadened our product offering to include compaction, mini excavators, generators, light towers, compressors, ground protection matting and a good selection of supply items.
