A Legacy of service
Clairemont Equipment is a family-owned construction equipment company that has proudly served Southern California since 1970. What began as a small rental operation has grown into a full-service provider of equipment rentals, sales, parts, and service, supporting customers across residential, commercial, industrial, and mining applications throughout the region.
Today, Clairemont Equipment is the authorized Komatsu Construction and Mining Equipment dealer for all of Southern California, serving ten counties with dedicated product support, experienced technicians, and a growing network of branch locations.
Built on rentals. Grown on relationships
Rentals have always been at the heart of Clairemont Equipment’s success.
From the beginning, our business was built around providing dependable equipment, responsive service, and practical solutions to meet real-world jobsite needs. That rental-first mindset shaped our company long before we expanded into heavy equipment sales and continues to influence how we serve customers today.
What started with homeowner and small contractor equipment evolved into a comprehensive fleet supporting contractors, public agencies, and large-scale industrial and mining operations across Southern California. Today, we continue to support our customers rental, sales, service, and parts needs with the same level of care and reliability that built our reputation.
We believe renting equipment is about more than availability—it’s about uptime, trust, and long-term support.
Serving Southern California with Komatsu and More
Komatsu has been a cornerstone of Clairemont Equipment’s business since 1991, when we became an official Komatsu Construction and Mining Equipment dealer serving San Diego and Imperial Counties. In April 2023, that role expanded as Clairemont Equipment was selected to serve as the Komatsu dealer for all of Southern California, entrusted with full responsibility for equipment sales, rentals, parts, service, and warranty support across ten counties. This milestone reflects decades of proven performance, customer focus, and a long-standing commitment to product support.
In addition to Komatsu, Clairemont Equipment is an authorized dealer for other leading industry brands, including Finn, Dynapac, JLG, Yanmar, and more—allowing us to provide flexible, well-rounded solutions tailored to each customer’s application and jobsite requirements.
A Growing Network Focused on Support
Clairemont Equipment operates six full-service branch locations throughout Southern California, all offering rentals, sales, parts, and service. In Q4 2024, we expanded our footprint with the opening of our Bakersfield, California location, strengthening support for customers in the Central Valley and surrounding regions.
As our territory has grown, so has our commitment to investing in facilities, fleet, systems, and people—ensuring consistent, high-quality product support wherever our customers operate.
A Family Business with a Long-Term View
Family-owned for more than five decades, Clairemont Equipment is built on accountability, pride in our work, and a responsibility to carry the business forward the right way.
Alongside multiple generations of family involvement, our success has been shaped by the dedication and experience of many long-tenured employees whose knowledge, commitment, and customer focus have helped shape our company and support our customers year after year.
By continuing to invest in our people, leadership development, and training, we are focused on building a strong and sustainable future while adapting to the evolving needs of the industries we serve.
