Contractors Access Equipment was founded in 2001 as a suspended scaffolding rental company. In the decade since then we have expanded from 3 original branches up to 12. In order to better serve our customer's scaffold access needs CAE has expanded into supported scaffolding: traditional frame & brace, "system" scaffolding and also light and medium duty shoring. The company will continue to expand our equipment list and add new branch locations as customer demand dictates. Ever more often CAE is installing the scaffolding to provide a complete turn key access solution. Our highly trained and skilled scaffold builders can erect large scaffolds as fast and as safely as any in the business.

Here is an example list of areas that we specialize in: furnishing swing stages for high rise facade maintenance; frame scaffold for historic building and church restorations; system scaffold for industrial plant turnarounds, demolition or construction; City of Chicago approved pedestrian canopy protection; and much more. Please visit the Suspended, Commercial, Industrial and Sidewalk Canopies sections of this website to see pictures from past jobs and to learn more about our areas of scaffold expertise.

Contractors Access Equipment is a proud member of the Associated Builders and Contractors and the Scaffold Industry Association.
