Frost Sr. "Jack" Frost served as Chief Executive Officer until 1971 when his son-in-law, Mark Jung, was elected President. His son, Jerrold M. Jung, was elected president on July 18, 1988 and currently holds this executive post today. The company was initially located in Detroit, Michigan and in 1965, was moved to Novi. In addition to Novi, Michigan CAT has sales and service stores in Brownstown Township, Grand Rapids, Kalkaska, Lansing, Saginaw, and Shelby Township. In 1978, the Michigan CAT Power Systems Division, which specializes in the service and sales of diesel and natural gas engines and generator sets manufactured by Caterpillar, Inc., moved into their own building. The Power Systems Division also supports a network of truck dealers who sell and service Caterpillar powered trucks. Since 1944 Michigan CAT has been servicing, renting and selling construction equipment such as scrapers, agricultural equipment, graders, dozers, excavators, backhoes, and paving machinery as well as engines used to power trucks and generators. We also handle an extensive line of compact construction equipment (CCE) including skid steer loaders, mini excavators, and small wheel loaders as well as aggregate processing equipment and rents electric-combustion-powered aerial lifts, scissor, and telescopic articulating work platforms. Michigan CAT seeks to build on its past by continuously improving customer service and its business systems. If the company is to provide job security, above average compensation, and benefits to its employees, then it is imperative that Michigan CAT continues to be the dominant heavy equipment and engine dealer in its marketplace. We continuously strive for better, more efficient processes and more quality people to achieve our success every day.

Michigan CAT offers the expertise and equipment to meet the temporary power needs of facilities of virtually any size.
Power Products
From plant shutdowns to emergency outages, construction projects to entertainment events, we have the products and experience to meet your needs. Our diesel generator sets are available in single units from 15kW to 2500 kW and are trailer mounted for portability with many in sound attenuated enclosures for quiet operation. Natural gas and gas turbines are available up to 30 MW.
Planning For Temporary Power.
Although critical, planning for power need not be difficult. Here are three simple steps that will help you secure and maintain the rental power necessary to carry your facility successfully through a scheduled or emergency shutdown.
Plan Your Power Needs
STEP 1 Determine your facility's electrical load. Before you rent temporary power, you have to know how much you need. Full power, If you have to keep your whole facility operating as it would with utility-supplied power, you need to determine your aggregate electrical load. A statement of your electrical capacity is also available at your local utility. Priority Power, At times you may want to power only those electrical loads that serve critical functions at your facility; if so, you need to prioritize individual loads
STEP 2 Know where to rent generator sets and related equipment. Your rental generator sets are only as reliable as the supplier who backs them. Michigan CAT has the equipment you need and a staff qualified to solve your problems and service the machines. Here are basic questions to ask the supplier: What is the kilowatt range of your generator set rental fleet? Can you deliver immediately? What if I need a generator in the middle of the night, or during a holiday? How are your rental contracts structured? Have you ever rented generator sets to customers in my industry? What equipment/manpower do I need to provide? What technical service/support do you offer? How do I know my rental units are 100 percent reliable? What happens if a generator set I rent goes down?
STEP 3 Answer by thinking about the following before the power goes off at your facility. How will the generator sets get from the dealership to your facility. Where will you put the generator units? How will you get cable from the generators sets outside your building to electrical distribution boxes inside? Where will you get cable? Can you store enough fuel close to the area where you plan to keep the generator sets? Do you have people on staff who can hook up the generator sets and check to ensure they will operate properly?
