About Us

Gould Equipment Company was started by Ralph Gould in 1928 as an oil equipment distributor.  Gould expanded into the custom building of oil and propane trucks and became a dealer for Heil transport trailers.  In 1998, Gould was purchased by Brake Service & Parts, which had common ownership with Webber Oil Company.  Gould continued its operations in South Portland and also opened a full-service propane and petroleum truck assembly and service facility and separate parts warehouse in Bangor.  In 2008, Gould consolidated the truck assembly, Certified “R” Stamp work, maintenance, and equipment warehousing on Hildreth Street North in Bangor.  Gould Equipment Company vacated the South Portland facility that year.

Gould Equipment Company was acquired by Gould Technologies, LLC on June 29, 2012.  Under the new ownership, Gould Equipment Company continues providing the same outstanding services and products from its facility at Hildreth Street North in Bangor.  Gould Equipment Company is affiliated with Acadia Environmental Technology, which has provided engineering and environmental services to the petroleum and propane industries for more than 20 years.
