History

Since our humble beginnings in 1982, Joan Ausbury & Don Wheeler started Cranes & Equipment Corp. with the idea to get customers a quality product and back it with proper parts and service after the sale. Starting out with building form handling trucks for the companies doing poured wall foundations, to expanding to satisfying crane requirements to all different industries. They passed down their years of knowledge and values of dedication to our current staff to ensure we maintain the same standard of service. Whether it is material handling, oil industry, marine applications, tree care work, or form handling; we continue to build custom packages to help our customers achieve their full potential.
