About Fagan High Reach

 

After a long and successful career as one of the founders of Clementina, LTD, in 1975 Don Fagan struck out on his own to found Fagan Equipment, Inc.  At a time when the aerial work platform industry was in its infancy, Don made his mark as a sales rep for Hunter Lift, selling scissors lifts up and down the west coast. For every five lifts he sold, he bought one for himself with the commission profits. Eventually building up an inventory of 25 scissors lifts, he was then able to expand into the rental business, and leave sales behind. From these humble beginnings, Fagan eventually grew his rental fleet to over 100 items, including boom lifts and forklifts, as well as the original scissors lifts.

In addition to building an excellent reputation in the equipment rental industry -- in fact he's sometimes referred to as one of the founding fathers of the rental industry in California -- Don sold both new and used equipment, building a loyal following over the years.

In 1992, John Wetherholt took over the reigns, managing Fagan High Reach with an emphasis on high standards of quality, service and responsiveness. Fagan High Reach continues to serve the Bay Area with both rental and sales, and provides the personal touch not found in today's "big box" stores.  You may be wishing for the good old days when a locally-owned rental company cared about your business. You've come to the right place.
