Sam Cater, our director, has spent his entire professional career within the Australian construction equipment industry, representing OEM’s across the global capital equipment and technology landscape. Cater Equipment was founded with a total site solution approach in the used equipment market to fill the void of quality, reliable, and transparent dealers.
