Granite Construction: Major publicly traded infrastructure and heavy civil contractor with significant California operations. Broad incumbent in the same construction services category though at significantly larger scale and geographic breadth.
Sunbelt Rentals: National heavy equipment and industrial rental company with substantial forestry and construction equipment offerings. Broad incumbent competing in the equipment rental segment of Robinson's business.
