Grand Junction
Two years later, in 1965, Honnen Equipment opened a branch location on the west slope of Colorado in Grand Junction. -
Grove by Manitowoc
In 1970, Honnen Equipment took on the Grove Hydraulic Crane line. This opens up the lifting market in Colorado for Honnen and adds variety to the brands of equipment Honnen represents. -
Durango, Colorado
Two short years later Honnen Equipment opened up another branch in Durango, Colorado. This gave Honnen three strategically placed locations throughout the state to better serve our growing number of customers -
National Crane by Manitowoc
Let's skip ahead a few years to 1985 when Honnen picks up the National Crane line. These boom trucks are both durable and reliable. -
Hamm
In 1987 Honnen adds the Hamm Roller line. This diversifies the market even more by adding in the road building segment. -
Honnen Family
Honnen Equipment continues as a family-owned and operated business when Pete's son, Mark, becomes President and General Manager in 1999 and Pete ascends to become Chairman and CEO. -

The Lull Variable Reach Forklift line of products is added to the brands Honnen represents in 1998. -
Commercial Worksite Products
When John Deere introduced their Commercial Worksite Products line in 1999, it was decided that light equipment would complement the other lines very well. Honnen became the authorized dealer for CWP products in the Denver metro area. -
Pete Honnen
Pete Honnen passed in December 2003 and Mark Honnen took on the roles of Chairman and CEO. These were some big shoes to fill, but Mark was well equipped to do the job. -

Gillette, Wyoming
In 2006 Honnen Equipment opened a store in Gillette, Wyoming. With a location in the northeast part of the state this allowed Honnen to better serve the mining industry in that area.

Honnen added these lines to complement the Hamm roller line. -
