Crane Time: Seven Years Built to Lift

Seven years ago, we set out to build a crane company that treats reliability as a practice. On our anniversary, tomorrow, I want to say thank you to customers who trust us at critical moments, to crews who sweat the details when no one’s watching, and to partners who share our standards. The work has become more important than ever. Our mindset hasn’t changed: plan smart, lift safe, go home better than when we arrived with customers that are happier than ever.

What seven years taught us

• Safety is a system. It lives in walk-arounds, job briefs, communication, and the right to stop the job. What we don’t inspect, we can’t expect. Paperwork without practice is theater; practice without feedback is luck.
• Uptime is earned. Preventive maintenance, parts on hand, vetted 3rd-party providers, and pure genius beat heroics. Our best day is the one where everything looks boring and the customer signs off early. Finding the perfect balance is critical.
• People make the math work. Load charts and ground bearing numbers show what’s possible; experienced operators and riggers keep it possible when conditions change. Incorporating both changes the dynamics.
• Customers aren’t buying tonnage. They’re buying risk reduction across scope, site, and schedule.
• Technology should disappear. Tools that matter are the ones crews actually use: readable digital lift plans, telemetry that flags issues early, and effective communication from the top down. Everybody matters, even if they’re not directly employed by us.

Highlights along the way

• Utility and energy projects that demanded methodical execution and schedule certainty.
• Long-term partnerships earned through transparent planning, clear change orders, and on-time demobilization.
• Bravado is not a control measure. Everyone has stop-work authority, every time, no exceptions.

Where we’re going next

• Higher-fidelity planning. Standardized digital lift plans with site overlays, travel-path controls and enhanced journey management planning, and versioned approvals from bid to closeout.
• Smarter maintenance. Condition-based intervals guided by oil analysis, telemetry, 3rd-party oversight, and trend data.
• Crew development that sticks. Targeted training blocks, operator–rigger cross-skill, and mentorship that turns good judgment into a teachable asset. We train the next generation of skilled operators.
• Operational clarity. Tighter and more frequent pre-lift checklists, clearer stop-work criteria, and post-lift debriefs that actually drive the next improvement.
• Selective growth. Expanding coverage where response times, safety oversight, and equipment availability stay strong. And we bring the same safety standard to every site, nationwide.

The promise

Anniversaries don’t mean much unless they come with commitments. Here are ours for the next twelve months:

• Publish measurable safety and quality objectives, report performance against them, and deliver GAAP-aligned quarterly updates and on-time year-end investor statements.
• Minimize unplanned downtime by detecting faults earlier, aligning preventive maintenance with manufacturer standards, and ensuring critical spares are available.
• Reduce lift-day surprises by improving site walk templates and pre-rig surveys.
• Invest in people: certifications, advancement pathways, and pay tied to verified skills..

Gratitude

To our customers: Thanks for the trust and the straight talk. We truly appreciate the many opportunities to accomplish so much over the years, on so many jobs. We stand behind you as your premier crane provider and continue to devote our time and attention to everything that needs to be in order to consistently deliver the highest quality crews, equipment, and industry. To our crews: Your discipline is the company. To our families: You carry the weight that doesn’t show up on the load chart. Seven years down. The standard goes up.
