Forging the future of infrastructure.
A legacy of American engineering excellence, driven by innovation, safety, and unwavering commitment to our partners.
Built in Findlay, Ohio since 1995
Ballinger Industries, Inc. was established in 1995 in Findlay, Ohio with a clear mission: build the most durable and reliable heavy machinery in the world. Our first bulldozer line quickly earned a reputation for unmatched performance across the Midwest’s rugged terrains.
Over the past three decades, we expanded into advanced lifting, paving, and specialized forestry equipment while preserving our core values of integrity and innovation. Today, Ballinger machines operate on construction sites, mines, ports, and infrastructure projects across North America and beyond.
