What We Do
Crane Rentals & Services
Six ways we get called out. If your lift does not fit neatly into one of them, call and describe it — we will tell you straight whether a crane is the right answer.
-
Operated & Maintained Crane Rental
Rent a crane with the operator and the maintenance included. We plan the lift, we run the machine, and we do not hand you the keys and walk away.

Oil Field Crane Services
Crane work for the Hugoton field and the leases around it. We know lease roads, wellhead clearances and what it costs you when a rig is waiting.
Learn more -
Commercial Crane Services
Structural steel, mechanical units, tanks and vessels, municipal and utility work — commercial lifts for contractors across southwest Kansas.
Learn more -
Residential Crane Services
Home lifts done carefully — hot tubs, trusses, trees, roof-top units and the jobs where the crane has to work over your house, not through it.

Manufactured Home Setting
Placing manufactured and modular homes onto foundations across southwest Kansas — the work this company has done since 1981.

24/7 Emergency Crane Service
Open 24 hours. When something is down, stuck or unsafe right now, the phone gets answered by someone who can dispatch a crane.

The Equipment
Operated & Maintained — Never Bare Rental
When you hire a crane from us, you get the machine and the crew. Our operator runs the lift, our maintenance keeps the machine right, and the plan is worked out before anything leaves the ground. You are not signing for a piece of iron and figuring out the rest.
-
Liebherr Cranes
Our Liebherr machines handle the bulk of the work — oil field locations, commercial steel and structural sets, and tight residential placements. Rented operated and maintained, never bare.
-
Manitex Boom Truck
Road-legal and quick to set up, the boom truck is the right call for shorter reaches, roof-top sets, HVAC units and jobs where a full crane is more machine than the lift needs.
Not sure which machine your lift needs? Call (620) 236-9880 and describe the load — we will tell you what fits and what it costs.
