About Us

General Equipment and Supply (GE&S) was established in March 1986 in Greenville, South Carolina, starting as a small operation with just two employees. The company's initial mission was to serve electrical, mechanical, and general contractors across the United States with high-quality tools and equipment. Despite its humble beginnings, GE&S quickly made a name for itself by specializing in reconditioned tools—a cost-effective alternative to buying new.

We offer an extensive inventory of machinery and tools tailored to meet the needs of the construction industry and beyond. At GES, you’ll find reliable, high-quality equipment that stands the test of time—all at prices that won’t break the bank. From industry-leading brands with a proven track record of excellence to an impressive range of equipment types, we are here to support businesses and individuals alike.

Construction Equipment for Every Need

Whether you’re running a small welding operation, managing a multi-city construction company, or tackling a hobby project, we have the tools you need to succeed. From welding leads and multiprocess welders to bending tools, cable pulling equipment, and crane rigging gear, our inventory is built to serve businesses of all sizes. Even hobbyists and one-person operations will find high-quality solutions, like our Knaack storage boxes and gang boxes, to make their projects easier and more efficient.

At GES, we believe tools should never compromise quality or reliability. That’s why we sell remanufactured construction equipment from the most trusted brands, including Greenlee, Ridgid, Knaack, Sumner, Miller Welding, Harrington, Lincoln, and more.
