Roots in Quality and Expertise
BEC traces its origins to Lambert Machinery Co., renowned for its quality in the construction equipment world. It was here that the foundation for our future was laid, recognizing the unmatched reliability and efficiency of Pettibone equipment—a cornerstone in our offerings.
In 1995, John Schwieters, a visionary with a deep respect for craftsmanship and quality, took a significant step forward by acquiring Builders Equipment Company. This pivotal move was more than a business transaction; it was a pledge to uphold and surpass the high standards of excellence and reliability that Pettibone equipment is known for. Under John's leadership, BEC transformed into a premier Pettibone forklift dealer, continuously expanding our services while staying true to our core values.
A Legacy of Innovation
Through the years, BEC has embraced innovation to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We've integrated advanced technology in our operations, enhanced our customer service models, and expanded our product lines to include the latest in construction machinery. Our commitment to innovation ensures that we always offer the best solutions to our clients.
Continuing the Tradition
Today, BEC stands as a testament to the vision of its founders. We continue to serve the construction industry by providing high-quality equipment and unparalleled service. Our team is driven by the same values that started this journey: reliability, service, and quality.
