Our Story

Four Decades of Operator Safety & Training

BHG Heavy Equipment was born from a simple, non-negotiable belief: heavy machinery operation requires elite proficiency and uncompromising safety. Founded by a Disabled Veteran with more than 45 years of combined industry experience, our firm has grown into one of the Midwest's premier providers of hands-on heavy equipment certification and operator safety programs.

We specialize in providing top-tier, OSHA-compliant heavy equipment operator training specifically designed for construction, utility, and municipal crews. Our team has decades of field experience operating and training on heavy machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and forklifts. That real-world, hands-on expertise ensures every worker gains not just a certificate, but the practical skill needed to prevent accidents on active jobsites.

We offer flexible, comprehensive on-site machinery training tailored to your specific fleet and project requirements. Our programs deliver the structured instruction and field evaluations necessary to secure official OSHA compliant operator qualification, helping companies avoid compliance fines and, most importantly, protect their crews. We have trained thousands of operators, helping municipalities, utility providers, and private contractors build a culture of safety.

As a Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (DVSOB), we bring the same commitment to mission, precision, and accountability that defines military service to every operator certification we conduct. We hold our trainers and candidates to a higher standard — because the safety of your crew demands it.
