Company History
We Started An Industry, And We Haven’t Stopped Yet
There’s a lot to be said for being the first. But it’s even better to be the best. That’s what Elliott Equipment Company is all about.
Back in 1948, post-war America was on the move. Travelers were taking to the newly created highways in record numbers. Electrical contractors and utilities were looking for ways to efficiently set poles and string power lines to electrify the country. And Richard Elliott, an Omaha business pioneer, started an industry with the first truck-mounted hydraulic, telescoping aerial lift and crane. And we haven’t stopped yet.
Then, as now, Elliott used only the finest materials available to build the first hydraulic, telescoping aerial lift and crane and mounted it on a conventional truck chassis. Building just one machine at a time, he drove each one from city to city – and from coast to coast. It didn’t take long for demand to grow and Elliott’s equipment was quickly adapted for new uses, including mining and signage, and a host of other lighting applications.
Since then, our customer base has grown and so too has our line of telescoping work platforms and cranes -- which now numbers more than 25 models, helping workers do an amazing array of jobs. From the original Hi-Reach to the SkyWalk and BoomTruck, Elliott equipment is used by leaders in industries such as construction, signage, lighting, maintenance, departments of transportation, utilities, municipalities, ports and mining. You’ll find our products across the United States and around the world.
Today, Elliott Equipment Company proudly carries on the tradition that Richard Elliott started more than six decades ago – relying on people who are dedicated to his stringent standards for quality, safety and durability; striving to build the best equipment available; and keeping our customers working safely and efficiently.
