Dacav Aerial Lifts, Inc.

Dacav Industries, started in August 1974 in Highland, Indiana. After servng the construction and industrial market with a large tool company, Donald Veste wanted to start his own business with a relatively new concept called Aerial Work Platforms. His idea was to serve the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area with new lines of scissor lifts, boom, and materia lifts for rental and resale.

After must succes he moved Dacav Industries to Crete, Illinois, to a larger more open facility where service would be made easier for the companies and customers equipment. In December 1993 the company moved to South Chicago Heights, Illinois, where it operates today with a large fleet of aerial work platforms ranging from 15' to 110'.

In March of 2001, Chris Veste, son of Donald Veste assumed the day to day operations of the business after Don retired due to health reasons. Donald Veste passed May 2001 leaving the company a well established family orientated rental company that employs approximately 10 people.

Our entire work force continues to take Don's values and applies them every day.
