History & Mission
Founded in 1959, Sims has lead the crane and rigging industry in Florida over 60 years with innovative safety practices and education, sophisticated technology and financial stability. Our clients can attest to the professionalism that is Sims Equipment.
​
Since Thomas H. Sims, founder, bought his first H-5 mobile crane in 1961, our customer service principles have been built around family values and nurturing client relationships. As a third-generation family-owned-and-operated business, those core values, along with knowledge, expertise and dedication separate Sims from the competition.
