The Kirkpatrick Group

The Kirkpatrick name, in support of our customers worldwide maintenance requirements, extends back to 1967. This support first addressed mechanical maintenance for our fleet of 450 Link Belt heavy lift cranes and hydraulic excavators dispersed world wide on major construction projects. Our company; Kirkpatrick & O'Donnell Const. Equipment was one of the major equipment suppliers for the building of the Alaska Pipeline project that had an immense effect on Alaska, the United States as a whole, and the rest of the world in the 1970s.

The Kirkpatrick name is synonymous with equipment maintenance extending back to 1967 with the opening of Kirkpatrick & O'Donnell Construction Equipment. K&O over the years, became the world's largest Link Belt Crane franchise with a rental fleet of 450 cranes and Excavators used on major construction and pipeline projects around the world. In fact, K&O supplied 75% of the excavators, draglines, and cranes that built the Alaska pipeline. One can imagine the scope of maintaining a fleet this large and diverse to meet the supply demands of customers when their equipment usually requires parts and service back-up immediately.
