About Us

Helping to Lift America Since 1969

American Equipment began in 1969 in Ken Zimmerman’s basement with a commitment to deliver quality products and great customer service. These founding values resonated with customers as the company grew steadily over the years becoming one of the leading overhead crane and services companies in the western United States.

In 2021, American Equipment embarked on a new chapter of growth when it partnered with Rotunda Capital Partners. American Equipment has continued its growth story by expanding to 50+ locations and 700+ employees located throughout the United States. In addition to extensive geographic expansion, American Equipment has also extended its product offerings to become a one-stop-shop solution for mission-critical material handling needs by adding industrial weighing and below-the-hook rigging capabilities.

As American Equipment continues to grow, we remain grounded in the core values the business was founded upon – quality products and great customer service. Whether you need recurring maintenance, emergency repair, or new equipment installation, we are here to support your operations by keeping your mission-critical assets performing at their best.
