With Town of Stoughton Select Board Member Joseph Mokrisky in attendance, the Topping Off Ceremony introduced Milton CAT into the Stoughton community. “It is always exciting when a new business comes to town”, Mokrisky explained. “In addition to the economic benefits and job opportunities, Milton CAT has already proven to be an engaged community member. The team has been great to work with, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for the new facility.”
Before it became a part of Milton CAT’s new facility, the last steel beam was signed by the Milton CAT team and their design-build partners from Bowdoin Construction. “Bowdoin Construction is proud to have been selected as the design-build partner for Milton CAT’s new facility. The project was carefully coordinated by UDA Architects, Bowdoin’s in-house design and construction professionals, and mechanical and electrical trade partners. It was great to see the large array of Caterpillar equipment utilized by the site contractor, D.W. White, as they moved over 20,000 yd3 of material for the project. We appreciate the collaborative spirit that Milton CAT has promoted, and we look forward to the ribbon cutting in 2024,” said Bowdoin Construction spokesperson.
Conveniently located off Route 24, the Page Street facility was designed with customers in mind. The variety of safety and efficiency-improving features will enable employees to provide an outstanding customer experience. From the showroom, customers will be able to get their questions answered directly by sales, service, parts, credit, and technology experts. “The anticipation for the new location is growing immensely,” explained Milton CAT Stoughton Machine Sales Manager Tom Benedetti. “As soon as our customers started to hear about Stoughton, there was immediate excitement and the news spread fast! The team can’t wait to start helping our eastern Massachusetts customers from the new state-of-the-art facility.”
Opening in the summer of 2024, Milton CAT's new Stoughton, MA, facility will support customers with equipment sales, service, parts, and technology.
The service shop will be fully equipped with three overhead cranes, in-floor scissor lifts, easy-access oil reels, and heated floors. Milton CAT service technicians will be able to complete a wide range of service and repair tasks on both compact and large equipment.
The warehouse will stock an expansive parts inventory so most parts orders can be quickly fulfilled from the on-site inventory. Two automated vertical lift parts stocking systems (VLMs) will house the majority of parts. The parts will be stored on revolving tracks that automatically come down when a part needs to be picked. There is no need to get up in a man lift to pick a part so orders can be completed quickly and safely. For same-day assemblies, the hydraulic hose shop will be fully stocked with hoses and couplings for all makes and models of equipment.
