Cypress Equipment Co. was formed in 1966, when its predecessor, Construction Equipment Co. sold off its branch operations in Canada. A group of CMC employees purchased the B.C. operation, which became Cypress. They converted American Hoist & Derrick machines into log loaders and grapple yarders, and also built their own version of G.M. Philpott's tank drill.
Cypress also distributed, over the years, Champion graders, Hitachi, and Prentice hydraulic machines, Moxy dump trucks, and they also manufactured the Roc-Champ drill.
Well known Cypress machines include the 5676 and 7675 log loaders, 7220 Combo yarder-loader, 7280A, B, and C grapple yarders, and 7230 log loaders.
Everyone feel free to add your Cypress/American pictures to this thread!
