Building Stronger Communities



      When we heard they needed help, we didn’t hesitate to step in and offer whatever we could... That’s
      what Cat Dealers are all about – building stronger communities.” – Stephen Jolley, Cat Rental Store Rep.
      The Cat Rental Store along with their customers, recently donated plenty of equipment and crews to      Permit No. 592  Pontiac, IL    PAID  US Postage  PRSRT STD
      the clean-up effort in Waverly, TN, a community devastated by a severe flood earlier this summer.
      While the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides communities in need with debris
      removal, they are unable to assist in the actual tear down process. This means that even if a building
      is completely destroyed, there is still a huge gap in assistance required before the community can
      move forward on the path to rebuild.

      The Cat Rental Store donated a Cat 313 Excavator with a thumb, a Cat D4 Dozer, a Cat 239 Skid Steer
      Loader, a Vermeer CTX and Dump Trailer, along with five Grapple Buckets. Coyote Creek Landscape,
      and owner Graham Mosley, brought three Cat Rental machines they already had on rent along with a
      full crew of operators to assist with the cleanup. Michael Poe, owner of Reed Landscape, volunteered
      for the day along with one of his operators, Brice. Poe also supplied his lowboy and helped with
      the transport of all machines to Waverly. Finally, Cotton’s Specialized Hauling donated transport
      for the 313 Cat Excavator to and from Waverly. Together, the Cat Rental Store team partnered with
      customer efforts proved instrumental in helping with the tear down of 16 homes in Waverly, TN so the
      community can begin to rebuild.
