Crane & Rigging

Northwest Crane Service

Crane rental and rigging from 50 to 1,200 tons, with engineered lift planning and NCCCO-certified operators.

Northwest Crane Service is the crane and rigging division of Northwest Companies. We own and operate a fleet that ranges from compact city cranes to 1,200-ton mobile hydraulic cranes, supported by hydraulic platform trailers and self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) for jack-and-slide, roll-on/roll-off, and complex component placement.

We do operated rental, bare rental, and turn-key rigging — backed by an in-house lift planning team that produces engineered plans, ground-bearing calculations, and rigging diagrams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest crane Northwest Crane Service operates?

Our fleet includes mobile hydraulic cranes up to 1,200 tons. The right crane for a job is rarely the biggest one — we'll spec the smallest crane that can safely make the lift with the required radius, height, and pick weight, including rigging.

What's the difference between bare rental and operated rental?

Bare rental delivers the crane only — you supply the operator. Operated rental includes a NCCCO-certified operator, signal person where required, and on-site supervision. We strongly recommend operated rental for any lift with an engineered plan, complex rigging, or multi-crane coordination.

Do you provide engineered lift plans?

Yes. Our in-house lift engineering team produces 2D and 3D lift plans, ground-bearing calculations, and rigging diagrams stamped where required. See Lift Planning & Engineering.

How do you handle multi-crane (tandem and tailing) lifts?

Multi-crane lifts are engineered with synchronized load charts, pre-job briefings, and a designated lift director. We run tandem lifts routinely for vessels, towers, and large modular components, and we've executed coordinated lifts of 800+ tons combined capacity.

What's the call-out time for emergency or after-hours crane work?

Our 24/7 dispatch line is staffed continuously. With cranes staged across 14 yards in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri, mobilization is typically same-day in the central U.S. and within 24–48 hours nationwide depending on permit requirements.

Do you serve residential customers, or only industrial?

Both. We do tree removal, HVAC sets, pool placement, and other residential work routinely — usually with our smaller all-terrain or boom-truck units. Same dispatch line, same operators, same safety standard.
