Proven Performance Under Colorado Conditions

For more than a century, O.J. Watson Equipment has supplied Colorado with municipal-grade work trucks engineered to perform in the toughest Rocky Mountain environments. From steep alpine passes to wind-swept plains, Colorado fleets demand equipment that starts every morning, withstands hard winters, and stays operational through long service cycles—and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Founded in 1912 and Colorado-owned since 1988, O.J. Watson has earned the trust of cities, counties, and public works departments across the state. With two Colorado locations, we proudly support the communities that rely on dependable, hardworking equipment every single day.
