Ring Power is a privately held corporation headquartered at the World Commerce Center in St. Johns County, Florida, midway between St. Augustine and Jacksonville.
History
The company was founded in 1961 by L.C. "Ring" Ringhaver, who gave up shrimp boat building to become a Caterpillar engine dealer in St. Augustine, Florida. The following year, they became a full line dealer and relocated to Jacksonville. In 1973 they moved to a 38-acre (150,000 m 2 ) site on U.S. Route 1 (locally known as Philips Highway) and Baymeadows Road on the southside. As the business grew over the next 25 years, the product lines expanded and more divisions were added. The property in Jacksonville eventually became a complex of seven buildings with 250,000 ft² of space. At the end of the century, they ran out of room to expand and the character of Philips Highway had changed from industrial to commercial. The decision was made to find a new home with at least 100 acres (0.40 km 2 ). The result of the search was the purchase of 100 acres (0.40 km 2 ) at World Commerce Center along Interstate 95 in St. Johns County. A $1.6M incentive package was approved by the St. Johns County Commission and construction began in the Fall of 2003 on a 414,000 ft² facility. Most of their old property along Philips Highway was sold for redevelopment and Ring Power moved to their new headquarters in March, 2005. Lowes purchased 16 acres (65,000 m 2 ) and built a home improvement store. BJ's Wholesale Club was constructed on an 18-acre (73,000 m 2 ) parcel. Ring Power retained the 4 acres (16,000 m 2 ) at the north end of the property for a Ring Lift truck center.
Locations
The port facilities in Jacksonville and Miami allow the company to export equipment almost anywhere in the world. Ring Power has over 2000 employees at branches in 19 cities throughout Florida and offices in California, Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas. Customers can purchase, lease or rent new & used Caterpillar industrial equipment. Ring Power also handles machines made by Kalmar, Trail King, Multiquip, Manitowoc, Grove, Gradall, National Crane, Rosco, Gomaco, Phoenix Products and others.
