In September, 1945, only a month before the end of the War, three men bought an Alaskan outfitting business that would eventually become Yukon Equipment. With what proved to be great insight, they established a heavy-equipment business that has survived the test of time. Over the years, Yukon Equipment, formerly known as Lomen Equipment, has seen many changes take place. Alaska has evolved from a territory of unknown wilderness, to a land of opportunity. One thing that has not changed, however, is Yukon Equipment's focus on customer service. Providing sales, service and rentals of backhoe loaders, skid steers, excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers, equipment trailers and much more equipment have helped us serve the construction and agricultural needs of Alaska.

Yukon Equipment's parts department not only keeps detailed records on every machine it sells, we also provide 24-hour emergency service. If Yukon Equipment no longer stocks the necessary part, personnel can use "Case Net" to search the inventory of all Case dealers in the United States to find that "no-longer furnished" part for older machines.
Alaska is a vast state. Thus, Yukon Equipment's broad area of customer coverage provides a special challenge. Here, the most challenging jobs are out in the bush. It is relatively common for Yukon Equipment mechanics to fly into the bush from Fairbanks or Anchorage to help get a machine back up and running. Our record-keeping system keeps delays to a minimum.
Yukon Equipment proudly stands as part of the Calista Brice and Calista Corporation family, representing deep roots in Alaska that go beyond business.

As an Alaska Native Corporation subsidiary, our ownership structure reflects our commitment to serving local communities while honoring the Yup'ik meaning of "Calista" — the worker.
