Tractor & Equipment

What Tractor & Equipment does

Tractor & Equipment Company (TEC) is a privately held, authorized heavy equipment dealer founded in 1943 and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. The company sells new and certified used heavy equipment on behalf of multiple OEMs — including Komatsu, Wirtgen Group brands, Sennebogen, Superior Industries, Gradall, Fecon, LeeBoy, Sandvik, Etnyre, and Schwarze — and complements equipment sales with parts, service, rental, and in-house financing across 20 branch locations in Alabama, Georgia, and Northwest Florida. Over 500 skilled professionals, including 30 Product Support & Sales Representatives (PSSRs), support a hybrid enterprise field-sales and channel-distributor go-to-market model targeting construction contractors, material handlers, road builders, aggregate producers, forestry/land clearing operators, and sweeping operators.

The company's operational backbone is an integrated supply chain logistics and computer network connecting all 20 branches, which underpins the proprietary NODS (Network Overnight Delivery System) for same-night parts delivery. Service depth is anchored by the RENEW Center — a clean-room facility in Birmingham for total hydraulic system rebuilds, engine overhauls, and parts remanufacturing — and the KOWA Preventative Maintenance Program. Parts inventory spans OEM parts, ESCO G.E.T., KTSU rubber tracks and undercarriage components, Gates custom-built hydraulic hoses, Montabert hammers, Solesbees attachments, and a broad fluids and consumables catalog. The Master Technician training program and PSSR team provide manufacturer-certified technical coverage.

TEC earns revenue through six streams: one-time new equipment sales, one-time certified used equipment sales, one-time parts sales, professional services (maintenance, repair, RENEW Center rebuilds), equipment rental (short-term and long-term), and transaction-based financing solutions. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; an equipment financing application is available for multi-year contracts. Customer engagement is primarily direct through branches, the tec1943.com website, phone/email, and field PSSRs, with bottom-of-funnel activity concentrated at branch locations across the Southeast US.
