The Unmatched Value of Operated Crane Services: Beyond Just Equipment
As one of the largest crane companies in North America, General Steel Crane and Rigging offers reliable crane rental services for shutdowns and outages. Our experienced team provides reliable 24/7 support for unexpected issues, delivering support that meets or exceeds our customers' expectations.
We offer a wide selection of cranes (truck, all-terrain, and rough-terrain options), and our fleet consists of the following models:
- Broderson
- Grove
- Liebherr
- Link-Belt
- National
- Shuttle Lift
- Terex
To help determine the best type of crane for the project, we develop a comprehensive lifting plan that addresses specific challenges to ensure safe and efficient completion of the job. This includes a thorough assessment of the lifting requirements, terrain conditions, and whether a skilled operator is needed with the crane rental.
The "Wet Hire" Advantage
A "wet hire" is a crane rental with operator, as opposed to a "dry hire" that requires the renter to operate the crane themselves. The benefits of a manned crane rental far outweigh the risks associated with a bare rental. A wet hire ensures the equipment is fueled and well-maintained, reduces site liability, and guarantees an experienced crane operator is available at all times to tackle any problems that may arise.
A wet hire is an optimal solution for short-term projects and proves beneficial for companies facing tight deadlines or complex lifting requirements. It is also ideal for businesses that lack in-house certified crane operators.
Risk Management
Hiring an experienced crane operator from General Steel Crane & Rigging helps to leverage insurance and safety protocols. The whole process is insured, substantially reducing the risk of liability.
Efficiency
Our fully trained operators have logged thousands of hours on our specific equipment, and they are confident in their abilities, ensuring unsurpassed project safety and efficiency with our operated crane rental services.
Operator Credentials
All Gen-Steel operators have received certification from the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) or the Crane Institute of America Certification (CIC). This ensures they have the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate our extensive line of modern cranes.
Our operators also undergo regular spot checks and annual safety reviews, allowing us to maintain the highest standards of excellence, performance, and reliability. They fully understand our customers' precise lifting plans, consistently delivering clear and concise communication to ensure the lifting work is performed safely and quickly.
