About Us

Tradesmen Crane & Equipment LLC (TCE) is an affiliated company of The Tradesmen Group LLC (TTG). TTG specializes in restoration and preservation of our nation’s finest historic structures. Founded by Melissa West in 1997, and transitioned to 100% Employee Owned ESOP in 2022, TTG has achieved unparalleled success and is widely regarded as one of our country’s leading restoration companies. TCE started from a vision of offering one source for total access for exceptional crane, rigging, scaffold and equipment rental services.
 
Drawing from decades of experience in difficult & challenging construction access & support operations for personnel and material access, TTG launched TCE in 2014 to offer unequaled service for total building and site access with cranes, scaffold, and equipment as well as many associated services for material handling and site protection. In the years since inception, TCE has grown due to our approach of building “family value oriented” relationships with our clients. It is our goal that every client experiences superior customer service in all aspects of sales, delivery of crane, scaffold, rigging, hauling, and equipment rental services.
 
TCE is relentless in efforts to operate an innovative and unique company with combinations of services not found at other providers. We value doing for our clients what other companies cannot and will not do. Most importantly, it is our goal to offer every client prompt, respectful and superior service at a fair price.
In 2022 TTG & TCE are proud to have transitioned to a 100% Employee Owned ESOP. Today TCE is a subsidiary along side TTG of Tradesmen Holdings Company, Inc, a wholly 100% employee owned company.
