Beck Equipment:
For Over 35 Years, Product Support You Can Count On
In 1968 Beck Construction was founded by Roger Beck.
The company was primarily an excavation and grading
contractor. Now, more than 35 years later, our
company (now known as Beck Equipment Inc.) takes
pride in a commitment to provide good, used
construction equipment. With years of industry
experience under our belt, we focus on the value of
quality used machinery to our customers.
The Beck Equipment story began soon after Roger Beck
returned from a tour in Vietnam, where he served in
the Navy's construction battalion. Roger holds an
engineering degree from Cornell University. He
purchased three CAT D8 2U Series dozers and used
them in pond construction and site work. As Beck
Construction achieved many successes, the company
expanded its inventory to include a fleet of
scrapers and worked out of a building in McLean, NY.
Our current dedication to used construction
equipment came soon after, when the company began to
branch out into selling and renting used machinery.
Beginning in the mid '70's and throughout the 80's,
sales and rentals became an increasingly large part
of our total sales. leading us to the decision to
drop the contracting part of the business in the
early '90's. With a primary focus on rentals, we
provide our customers with an extensive variety of
rental equipment - all available on a daily, weekly
and monthly basis.
Our Company's 25,000 sq ft (2,323 sq m) facility in
Preble, NY is home to twenty one employees and more
than 200 machines and 400 buckets and attachments in
an inventory which includes dozers, loaders,
excavators, loader backhoes, compactors, graders,
scrapers, screening plants and haul trucks.
We have excavators up to the 100,000 lb (45,359 kg)
category and dozers up to the D9 size. We also have
a fleet of service trucks that play an important
role in quickly servicing the equipment we rent.
Our sales market is not limited to just the
northeastern United States. As equipment
transactions take place nationally and
internationally it is not uncommon to sell packages
of five or six pieces of equipment to a single
buyer. One achievement we are very proud of is that
we have managed to develop a strong reputation for
reliably representing our equipment. Because we
rebuild, repair and test the equipment we sell, we
are able to offer a warranty on most of our
equipment.
Roger Beck's commitment to quality products comes
from his years of industry experience, during which
he has seen many changes.
"Throughout our history, contractors continue to
rent more and more. They don't seem to keep
equipment for nearly as long as they used to. It's
not uncommon to see a contractor purchase a piece
for a single job and then turn it over. Many
contractors don't want to get involved in serious
maintenance or service programs anymore, so the
trend is to keep newer equipment in their
inventory.. There is certainly a greatly increased
demand for reliable equipment these days."
