WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Pennsylvania College of Technology and Anderson Equipment Co. have entered into an entrustment allowing for students in the heavy construction equipment technology program to hone their skills on a construction bulldozer.

The five-month entrustment, which runs through April 2022, enables students in the heavy construction equipment technology: technician emphasis major to access a new 2022 Komatsu D51PX-24 crawler dozer – valued at $245,190 – for instructional purposes.

Students will do undercarriage measurements; emission training; and electronic, hydraulic and HVAC diagnosis on the dozer.

Anderson Equipment Co., with 18 full-service locations across Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, has partnered with Penn College for equipment entrustments since 2014. The company is a member of the Visionary Society (support totaling ($100,000 - $499,999) on the college’s Donor Wall.

“Anderson Equipment has shown its commitment to the kind of education offered by Penn College in our heavy construction equipment programs,” said Elizabeth A. Biddle, director of corporate relations. “We thank Anderson Equipment for its continued partnership and for its support of our students, who will learn additional skills on Komatsu equipment.”

“Anderson Equipment is proud to partner with Penn College through this equipment entrustment,” said Jerry Skiff, director of service. “It is a win-win; Penn College and their students are able to utilize the latest technology-based equipment as part of their educational program, and the Anderson Equipment name recognition exposes students to our company who may be considering a future employer.
