Power Motive Corporation

What Power Motive Corporation does

Power Motive Corporation is a privately held heavy equipment dealer headquartered at 5000 Vasquez Boulevard, Denver, Colorado. Operating since 1959 (some firmographic records cite 1999, but multiple company-sourced references consistently state 1959), the company functions as an authorized Komatsu dealer and multi-line distributor, reselling new and pre-owned construction, mining, aggregate, forestry, and paving equipment from OEM partners including Komatsu, Takeuchi, Astec (KPI-JCI), BOMAG, Sakai, Morbark, Sandvik, Terramac, Rubble Master, Roadtec, JLG, Eagle Iron Works, Superior Brooms, and TimberPro. It serves construction, mining, quarry/aggregate, forestry, paving, utility, and government customers across a five-state territory covering Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and West Texas via 12 branch locations plus a Komatsu Regional Depot.

The business holds no proprietary technology; its model rests on OEM franchise distribution. Revenue is generated across six streams: new equipment sales (unit prices roughly $94,500 to $1,199,500+), pre-owned equipment sales including trade-ins and consignment, short-term equipment rentals (fleet typically under 18 months old, billed daily/weekly/monthly), OEM parts sales through 12 locations and the My Komatsu online platform with 24/7 ordering, service and repair delivered by factory-trained technicians and mobile service trucks, and equipment financing facilitated through partner lender Nuvo. Aftermarket parts and service provide recurring, higher-margin revenue that complements cyclical equipment sales.

Go-to-market is an enterprise field-sales motion organized across three regions (Northern, Central, Southern), staffed by territory sales managers, regional sales managers, and product specialists (compact sales, aggregate & asphalt, technology solutions). The company positions itself around lifecycle product support ("The Product Support People"), leveraging its branch density, parts depot, and factory-backed service to differentiate. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount is in the 101-250 range.
