Take a drive on the 215 Freeway near Colton, and you can’t miss the sea of new construction equipment up on the hill east of the freeway. That’s Trinity Equipment, Inc. (Trinity Equipment), and they have everything from full-sized and mini excavators to wheel loaders, motor graders, dozers and highlift equipment to skid steers, and a full line of tractors, attachments and other utility equipment. Trinity Equipment is genuinely a megamall for all your heavy, medium and light-duty construction needs.

Eric Lewis is the owner, president and CEO of Trinity Equipment, and he has come a long way since his days of serving our country in Iraq. As a young man, Lewis enlisted in the United States Army, where he served two tours in Iraq for 27 months of deployment between 2004-2009. After returning from his service, Lewis secured a job in law enforcement and eventually went to work with his father in the construction business. His next move would be a big one, as he made the decision to start Trinity Equipment, Inc. in 2016. In 2017, Lewis applied for and received his certification as a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

Trinity Equipment, Inc. offers the full line of Sany equipment, including 120,000 lb. excavators to 4,000 lb. mini-excavators. They also have Sany wheel loaders, motor graders, rollers and telehandlers in stock and ready for delivery.

The Department of General Services (DGS) serves as a business manager for the state of California. DGS serves the public by providing a variety of services to state agencies through the procurement of acquisition solutions that include, among other things, construction equipment and services. Trinity Equipment is fully certified through the Department of General Services. Along with their DVBE certification, they have also been approved as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE), a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE),

The company is also a distributor for Mustang and Yanmar lines as well as a long list of other equipment from industryleading manufacturers.

We own the equipment we rent, and we are a fully authorized equipment distributor.”

Lewis also points out that his company retains very high safety standards and holds a passing grade certification through the Industrial Compliance & Safety Network (ISN). “Our clients can maximize their certification credit requirements by using Trinity Equipment in place of a pass-through company,” continues Lewis. “We also have a DVBE and MGE certification through the Supplier Clearinghouse diversity program. This enables us to assist the California public utility commission work sector.”

This year, Trinity Equipment completed its portfolio of equipment offerings with the addition of Sany, and they are now an officially approved dealer. “We offer the full line of Sany equipment, including 120,000 lb. excavators to a Sany 4,000 lb. mini-excavator. We also have Sany wheel loaders, motor graders, rollers and telehandlers in stock and ready for delivery,” says Lewis. “We decided to become a Sany distributor after visiting their Atlanta headquarters where they are now manufacturing and assembling parts, and we are very excited about representing this rugged and dependable equipment line.” Lewis points out that Sany recently began building its excavator brand from scratch in the United States. This means that the components come in as individual parts and are then assembled here in the United States.”

As a Veteran owned and operated business, Trinity Equipment knows the importance of being organized and paying attention to each and every detail. Their service department is factory certified in all major brands and backed by an impressive parts inventory. Their mobile fleet of service trucks and technicians respond in a timely manner, knowing how costly delays can be in the construction business. They also have a hose and tire facility, as well as a welding fabrication shop on premises to help limit downtime for their customers.
