In the late 1960’s we manufactured
manual trailer jacks for Travel Trailers,
which eventually developed into the first
power jack that you did not have to hand crank.
In the 1980s, the C-band satellite industry
began to emerge. Initially, the industry
utilized our trailer jack to adjust the
azimuth of the dish, allowing users to
select different satellites. As this was a
relatively short period, Burr Engineering
began to expand its scope to various
industries.
In the 1990s, we made a significant step
forward in the quality of our actuators. We
partnered with Caterpillar to develop an
actuator used to open and close the hood.
We currently continue to supply
Caterpillar.
In early 2000, we developed an electric
scooter lift. This helps individuals that use mobility scooters in their daily life , the lift can be attached to their motor vehicle so they can transport the scooter with them. We are currently developing a new lift that will offer advantages to the user that they cannot get anywhere else.
In 2005, the Handy-Lift was produced.
This allows the user to ride the platform lift
to a specified height, making it easy for the
person to walk into their coach. For some,
this was the only way they could use the
coach and enjoy the lifestyle they desired.

General Manager
Monitor and manage the organization’s day-to-day activities, ensuring all departments function smoothly and align with the company’s objectives. This allows me to engage with all team members, which helps in two ways. Having a better feel of the company and getting to know all team members. I love cooking, golf, fishing, and going to interesting restaurants.

I started out as a foreman on the shop floor and eventually moved into sales, giving me a deep understanding of our products from the ground up. I enjoy helping customers find the right solutions because I’ve seen firsthand how everything is built. Outside of work, you’ll often find me riding my Harley or cheering on my grandkids at their sporting events.
