Michigan CAT
 PROFILE
Michigan CAT's engines are purring. The company sells, rents, and services heavy equipment -- primarily Caterpillar equipment -- used by the construction, forestry, and other industries. The firm sells new and used equipment such as tractors, loaders, backhoes, and graders. Since contractors increasingly choose to rent rather than buy heavy equipment, Michigan CAT rents its equipment by the day, week, or month. The company also maintains a parts and service department and offers engine, power train, and hydraulic rebuilds for equipment made by Caterpillar, Bobcat, Hitachi, Deere, and others. Jack Frost founded the company in 1944 as Michigan Tractor and Machinery. Frost's descendants control the company.
