Our Legacy
Over 100 Years in the Making
Our history in the heavy equipment industry runs deep.
- 1916: The legacy began with Percy Allan Ransome Sr., who co-founded Giles & Ransome, one of the country’s pioneering Caterpillar dealerships.
- 1994: The family tradition evolved when Percy Ransome III established Ransome Equipment Sales, specializing in used demolition and recycling equipment.
- Today: Led by Eric Ransome, Ransome Attachments stands as a premier hub for elite international brands, bridging the gap between specialized manufacturing and local job-site reality.
We carry on this legacy by offering the ultimate combination: cutting-edge global machinery solutions paired with honest, old-school, personal customer service.
