Henry Equipment HISTORY

HENRY MANUFACTURING CO. EXPANDS INTO EQUIPMENT SALES

Our company began as Henry Manufacturing Company, which was founded by Henry S. Branscome - an icon in the construction industry. Henry S. Branscome successfully designed, patented and sold the Concrete Cyclone Reclaimer. His success in site work, asphalt, road building, concrete, sand and gravel gave us the foundation for our outstanding reputation.

HENRY EQUIPMENT SALES TODAY

We have since changed our name to Henry Equipment Sales, Inc. and have expanded into equipment sales, brokering, auctioneering, consulting and appraisals.We have worked with clients in over 50 different countries.

Upon retirement, Henry S. Branscome passed the gauntlet onto Mark Hockaday. Mark Hockaday had worked with Mr. Branscome for 25 years prior to taking over the company. Mark Hockaday spent the next 15 years expanding Henry Equipment Sales into the company that it is today. Mark Hockaday has since stepped down from his position as President and is now our full-time Certified Senior Appraiser. In 2026 Henry Equipment Sales Inc. is switching focus from equipment sales to equipment appraisals. 

Exciting shift in 2026

As of 2026 Henry Equipment will step away from selling heavy equipment and focus our efforts on Equipment Appraisals, and Specialty Equipment sales. Mark Hockaday Certifed Senior Appraiser will take point in these efforts with appraisals and hard to sell items. Mark and his son, Justin, will work together in this shift and are very exicted for the future. Mark and Justin have over 50 years collectively in the heavy equipment industry and have worked with people around the world. They have great relationships with buyers and sellers worldwide, and are ready and able to help you with your appraisal needs and/or specialty equipment sales.
