Buckeye, AZ is booming! Once a quiet farming town, it’s now America’s fastest-growing city—on track to reach 300,000 residents by 2040. New homes, highways, and businesses are taking shape fast, and we’re proud to play a part in the progress. This rental 416 Cat Backhoe is hard at work, digging an 80’ stormwater well for a future Mexican restaurant. With two Empire locations in Buckeye, we’re here to support the construction that’s building the community’s future! #empirecat

In honor of its 100 Year Anniversary, Caterpillar Inc. released limited edition machines that feature a custom “Centennial Grey” paint scheme as a nod to the original color of the first Cat products. While visiting Tinaja Hills, AZ for training, a few sales account managers from Las Vegas and Reno stopped to take a photo in front of a Centennial Grey D8. Lookin' good, Colin, Dylen and Jake!

Big shoutout to Josh from our Chandler, AZ store, our Safety Superstar of the year! ?? While servicing a generator that powers all the conveyors at a client site, Josh noticed something critical—the client hadn’t completed a lock out tag out on their equipment. That meant they were at serious risk if a conveyor started unexpectedly. Instead of looking the other way, Josh took action. He reached out to the jobsite supervisor, who double-checked and confirmed that no one had properly locked out. Thanks to Josh’s attention to detail and commitment to safety, a potentially catastrophic incident was prevented. Josh truly lives the Empire Values, and we’re proud to recognize him for his dedication.

This Cat 352 and 349 are ready to tackle another day on the job! Thanks to one of our awesome rental clients for capturing this moment.

No matter where you live, agriculture runs deep in our communities. Nearly every product we touch starts with a farmer. This #NationalAgDay, we’re celebrating all the farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, fishers, and foresters who fuel our economy, steward our land, and keep our nation strong. We’re proud to partner with AGCO Corporation and highlight the hardworking Empire employees and clients who are featured in this video.

We’re proud of our power systems team for keeping a Nevada hospital up and running with standby power from a Cat XQ1140 and an APS1000.?

We’re excited to see our Blythe community this weekend at the Colorado River Fair!
