Become a Member of the HCEA!
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. Each issue includes articles on various aspects of construction, dredging and surface mining equipment history, along with news columns, reviews, safety tips, classified ads, and more. Only HCEA members receive the magazine.
