History

Heede Southeast as it’s known today, was founded in 1958 by Thomas Kenna. He purchased the company’s first Linden Tower Crane, a Model L30/60, mainly for use in his concrete formwork business. By 1962, thanks to Tom’s work ethic, industry knowledge and go-get-em attitude, the small company became the dealer for B.M. Heede. Growth into the tower crane rental market expanded from there.  In the early 80’s, Heede Southeast became the first tower crane company in the United States to offer “turnkey” packages to rental customers. When Tom’s son Dennis joined leadership at Heede in the mid-90’s, a distributor relationship was soon formed with Linden-Comansa from Spain. Today, the Heede family continues growing in industry leadership offering some of the most efficient, reliable and best capacities for tower cranes in the nation.
