History
1954
Floyd D. Clark, founder of Niagara Erecting and Clark Rigging & Rental, established Niagara Erecting and Sheeting Co., in 1954 specializing in steel erecting, reinforcing, and sheeting.
In 1957 Niagara Erecting, Inc. was incorporated and the Power Project that began in 1958 gave a big boost to the company. It rented A-Frame trucks and re-rented cranes to various Power Project contractors. Niagara Falls was a heavily industrialized city at the time and Niagara Erecting supported numerous projects at Carbide, Hooker, Stauffer Chemical, Pittsburgh Met, Carborundum and other industrial companies.
In 1960, being aware of the need for cranes in the world of construction, Floyd Clark purchased a Browning Truck Crane, Clark Rigging & Rental was incorporated as an equipment rental company, and our rental fleet has grown ever since.

Over time, three of the four second generation Clarks have retired, and David Clark, our current President & Owner, is looking forward to passing the torch to the next generation of leadership.
Even as many industrial companies have left the Niagara Falls area over the years, our companies have continued to thrive. Today, Clark Rigging & Rental is headquartered in Lockport, NY, with branch offices in Rochester and Syracuse to serve the needs of customers throughout Western and Central New York, the Southern Tier, and Northern Pennsylvania.
