Our Story
At HQ Equipment Company, our story starts with a Tonka truck and a big imagination.
From a young age, I was fascinated by the power and precision of heavy machinery. What began in my backyard—pushing piles of dirt and mud with a toy dozer—quickly grew into a lifelong passion for the real machines that shape our world. That early curiosity evolved into a deep respect for the capability of construction equipment.
Driven by that passion, I founded HQ Equipment Company with a simple goal: to make good-quality, affordable machinery accessible to contractors, builders, farmers, and enthusiasts who rely on it every day. We understand that buying equipment isn’t just a purchase—it’s an investment in your work, your business, and your future.
That’s why we’re committed to offering reliable, well-built machines backed by honest and straightforward after the sale support. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, we’re here to help you find the right equipment for the job.
At HQ Equipment, we don’t just sell machines—we share in the passion that powers your projects.
