Working in Ulysses
Our Home Town
Jim Wilson Crane Service is an Ulysses business — not a dispatch office in Wichita with a truck it sends out this way when the schedule allows. The yard is here, the cranes sleep here, and the people who quote your lift are the people you will see on site.
That matters most in two situations. The first is oil and gas work: Ulysses sits in the middle of the Hugoton field, and when a unit is down on a lease outside town we can be moving in the time it takes an out-of-town outfit to decide whether the trip is worth it. The second is everything small and local — a hot tub over a fence, trusses on an addition, a home going onto a foundation. Those jobs are too small to attract a crane from a hundred miles away, and they are exactly why a town this size needs its own crane company.
