The Marookaparts.com website is produced and maintained by Equipment Direct Inc (EQD). EQD is a USA based S-corp started in 2006 as an Equipment Dealer for sales of used Japanese construction machinery from Komatsu and Hitachi.

Hitachi Company Welcome

Komatsu company Welcome

Dealing in excavators, bulldozers, loaders and mini-excavators, primarily for the remote Alaska market. This activity resulted in a solid relationship with several manufacturers, used equipment wholesalers and various independent Japanese auction and trading companies. Our business expanded to sales all over the world.

We quickly realized the potential for Morooka Products and after becoming a Morooka dealer between 2006-2014, we developed a network of established suppliers for both OEM and aftermarket parts worldwide.

We learned about crawler carriers from our experience of living in Japan and many visits to the Morooka factory headquarters in Ibaraki Japan.

In addition to parts, in the past we have supplied new and used Morooka machines along with Morooka carrier rentals to a wide variety of customers, including site development contractors, power line companies, site remediation contractors, clearing contractors, trail building contractors, telephone & electric co-op’s, State and Federal government agencies (including Alaska DOT contractors and NPS), drillers and geo-tech companies.

Morooka products are used in a wide range of applications and are particularly suited to where a low ground pressure support vehicle is needed. They will accommodate a variety of payloads such as water tanks, Digger derricks, drill rigs, cement mixers, welders, lubrication & maintenance rigs, fire fighting equipment, specialty dump bodies, manlifts, geo-tech seismic equipment, exploration tools, air compressors and even personnel carriers. The uses are only limited by the imagination.
