About Us
1970 was the year when Bob Gingerich decided to launch his own construction business. It began with a Bucyrus Erie 22-B dragline, which he used to clean out ponds for local Illinois farmers. Then, in 1971, Bob purchased his very first hydraulic crane, a Pettibone model 25 rough terrain crane. And the rest, as they say, is history.
