The 72,000-square-foot Wheeler Machinery campus in Spanish Fork, Utah, combines the durability required of a Caterpillar dealership and service center with the architectural possibilities of tilt-up construction.
The main facility features a 12,000-square-foot office area, a 40,000-square-foot shop with 20 service bays and 30-ton bridge cranes, and a 20,000-square-foot warehouse equipped with racking and advanced vertical lift modules. A separate 5,000-square-foot rental building expands the campus while maintaining a cohesive architectural identity.
A dramatic, integrally colored leaning tilt-up façade creates a memorable entrance, while exposed concrete panels provide a durable, low-maintenance envelope suited to heavy industrial operations. Hughes General Contractors’ patented floor system delivers a nearly joint-free slab for long-term performance in the high-traffic service environment.
Sustainable features include a rooftop solar array supporting near net-zero electrical use and a closed-loop wash bay system designed to recycle water nearly indefinitely. Completed two months ahead of its 24-month schedule, the campus brings operational efficiency, technical innovation, and bold design together in a high-performing facility built for the future.
