Most crane problems are not crane problems. They are planning problems that show up on the day.

Wrong size machine for the reach. Nowhere legal to set the outriggers. A crew booked for eight when the pick could not happen until eleven. None of that is exotic, and all of it is avoidable with one honest phone call before anybody commits to a date.

That is the way we would rather work. Tell us what is going up, how heavy it is and what the site looks like, and we will tell you what we would bring and whether the day you want is realistic. If it is not, you will hear that too.

How we run

  • The phone gets answered

    Our Google listing says open 24 hours because that is the actual arrangement. Nights, weekends and storm work included.

  • We are already here

    The yard is at 1801 Inlet Dr in Fort Myers. Local jobs are a short mobilisation, not a half-day of travel billed back to you.

  • Sized before we roll

    Weight, height, distance and access get worked out on the phone. The machine that shows up is the machine the job needs.

  • No surprises on site

    If the setup will not work, we say so early. Finding out in your driveway costs both of us a day.

From the cab

The view from the seat

Three frames from the operator's seat. Where every pick actually gets judged.
