Elliott Equipment Co. (Omaha, NE) is observing its 70th year in business in 2018. The manufacturer of cranes, digger derricks and truck-mounted, material-handling work platforms was founded in 1948 by Dick Elliott. In the years after World War II, Elliott found its footing in part by contracting with state and municipal governments, who used Elliott’s HiReach aerial work platforms for sign and lighting installation during the construction of the interstate highway system.
