Historical Construction Equipment Association

Become a member!

Although Historical Construction Equipment Association members are from all corners of the world and from all walks of life, there is a common thread that ties us all together. That bond is an interest in historic construction equipment and a concern for the preservation of these machines and their history.

Exclusive Member Benefits

One of the most important activities of the HCEA is the production of a quarterly magazine, Equipment Echoes. The magazine is also loaded with news from the HCEA Museum Archives, trivia from archivist Tom Berry, and reviews of books and videos on construction, surface mining, and dredging equipment.

On top of all the original content we stuff into each issue, we’ve also created a section called “Diggin’ For Help” where you can request help in identifying and restoring equipment! Finally, a robust classified section will match buyers and sellers looking to buy or sell equipment, parts, and collectibles.

HCEA Chapters

Chapters form the backbone of our organization. With many chapters spanning the US and Canada, these groups of HCEA members provide a local network of experts, aficionados, and great friends drawn together by the love of old iron.
