Oil field crane services out of Ulysses, KS are their own discipline. The ground is not a parking lot, the access is a lease road, the clearances are tight, and every hour the crane is late is an hour a crew stands around. We have been running cranes in the Hugoton field since 1981. This is the work the fleet was bought for.

Lease & Location Work

Oil Field Crane Services on the Lease

Most oil field crane services are unglamorous and time-critical: setting and pulling equipment, handling vessels and tanks, moving compressors and pumping units, and picking gear too heavy or awkward for what is already on location. Every crane goes out with an operator, the same crane rental with operator setup we run in town.

The Hugoton is a gas field first, so a lot of the iron we set is compression and separation equipment, not only pumping units. Different weights, different picks, same lease road in.

  • Equipment sets and removals: vessels, tanks, separators, compressors and pump units
  • Truck loading and unloading: flatbed and heavy-haul picks on the location
  • Rig support lifts, coordinated with the crew on site so the crane is not the bottleneck
  • Maintenance and change-out work: pulling a unit for service and setting the replacement
  • Recovery and clean-up lifts, including the jobs nobody planned for

When Operators Call

Tank Batteries, Pump Units and Rig Lifts

A new tank battery going in. A pumping unit that has to come off for a gearbox and go back on the same day. A compressor skid on a flatbed with nobody on location who can pick it. A rig crew that needs one heavy lift, not a crane parked there all week.

Some calls come from plant and field-office projects closer to town, which run more like our commercial crane jobs. Some come at night because something failed, which is what our 24/7 emergency crane service is for.

Planning the Pick

Oil Field Lift Planning Before We Leave Ulysses

What matters on a lease is not the size of the boom. It is whether the crane shows up when it said it would, sets up on ground that is not flat, and gets the pick done without a second trip. That is a planning problem more than a machine problem, and it is where 40-plus years in this field earns its keep.

So for oil field crane services we ask about the road, the pad, the wellhead clearances and anything overhead before we price the job. Tell us what the road and pad look like and we bring the right machine and the right cribbing.

On Location

What Your Crew Sees When the Crane Rolls In

Our operator checks the pad against the plan, sets up, and works with your people on site so the crane is not the bottleneck. Every lift is run by an operator certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO).

If the pick is not what we were told, the operator stops and says so. And if we are not the right crane for what you are describing, we will say so on the phone rather than take the mobilisation and find out on site.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on lease roads and unimproved locations?

Yes. That is most of what we do. Ground conditions and access are part of the lift plan, so describe the road and the pad when you call.

Can you respond at night or on a weekend?

Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency crane service. Call (620) 356-3663 and describe the situation.

What counties do you cover for oil field crane services?

Grant County is home, and we regularly work Stevens, Haskell, Stanton, Kearny, Finney and Seward counties: the Hugoton field and the country around it. Travel is quoted as part of the job.

Do you handle the rigging as well as the crane?

The lift is planned and executed by our crew, with the certified operator running the machine, the same as any operated and maintained crane rental we send out. Tell us what the load is and how it is built and we will work out how it gets picked.

Do you do crane work off the lease too?

Yes. The same cranes handle plant, commercial and residential lifts across southwest Kansas. The full rundown of our crane services covers all of it.
