Founded in Texas. Serving nationwide. Driven to be the company every project calls when cranes are on the critical path.
Three commitments that shape every job we take, every crew we hire, and every piece of equipment we send to a job.
Every lift, every plan, every crew is engineered to make our customers more profitable, safer, and faster to the finish line. We don't just rent iron — we move projects forward.
We hire local, train hard, and reinvest in the places we work. Cranes build hospitals, wind farms, refineries, schools — we treat that responsibility seriously, on every site.
Lift planning, operator tooling, and ops technology are decades behind where they should be. We're building the next generation of crane systems — and bringing the industry with us.
Started At 16Craneaholics started because I love this industry. I come from a family that built barges and worked shipyards — cranes are in my blood.
At 16, I was sneaking into my dad's shipyard at night to run the iron. I got my NCCCO at 17 and never looked back. Twenty years later, Craneaholics is the company I wish existed when I was a green operator: ruthless on safety, obsessed with planning, and built around the crews who do the work.
We're based in Texas, we serve nationwide, and we're building the future of how cranes are run.
From a 16-year-old kid sneaking into his father's shipyard to a nationwide crane company — here's how we got here.
Earned my NCCCO certification a year after running my first lifts in my father's shipyard. The starting line for everything that came after.
Cut my teeth on shipyard work, refinery turnarounds, and crane-barge operations along the Gulf — the same playbook Craneaholics still runs today.
I took my talents to the east coast and discovered my ability to lead massive projects that required specialized approach.
I started a rail head in Kansas for 4 wind projects. Within a year we became the highest value railhead in the nation.
Built the company I wished existed when I was a green operator — ruthless on safety, obsessed with planning, and built around the crews who do the work.
From a Texas base to crane and barge service across the United States, backed by a partner network that lets us solve almost any lift problem.
Stood up a technology-focused Board of Directors to guide the next generation of crane operations, lift planning, and AI-driven systems.
Lift planning, dispatch, fleet telemetry, and operator tooling have been stuck in the past for decades. We're building the platform the industry should already have — and using it on every job we run.
3D lift studies, load-chart matching, and ground-bearing analysis accelerated with AI — turning days of engineering into hours, with the same rigor.
A unified ops platform for dispatch, fleet status, lift documentation, and crew assignment — built for crane companies, not bolted on from generic field-service software.
Mobile-first apps for operators, riggers, and lift directors. JSAs, load tests, and as-built documentation captured on-site, not transcribed in trailers at end of shift.
Direct integrations with EPC, project-management, and energy-developer systems so our lifts plug into the project — schedule, scope, and documentation, in sync.
A consulting board focused on the technology side of the business — guiding our investments in AI, lift-planning systems, and the operating tools that will define the next decade of crane work.
With 25+ years as an executive leader in Silicon Valley, RC leads the charge in developing the future of crane operations management.
Focus area: dispatch, fleet telemetry, and field-ops platform architecture for crane and barge operations.
Focus area: integrations with EPC, project management, and energy-developer systems — and the data layer underneath.
Every lift, every load, every crew comes home. Safety is not a checkbox at the start of shift — it is the responsibility we carry on every site, for our people, our partners, and the communities we work in.
Leadership begins with service. We invest in our crews by providing trust, opportunity, accountability, and the support they need to grow — both professionally and personally, on the iron and beyond.
Heavy lift work demands precision, preparation, and professionalism on every pick. Our customers rely on consistent execution — from the lift plan on paper to the load on the ground.
Cranes lifted yesterday's projects. Tomorrow's wind, solar, data center, and infrastructure work demands more. We pursue better methods, technologies, and tools — including AI — to meet the projects defining the next decade.
After every lift, every project, every shift — we evaluate. Progress is achieved through discipline, learning, and the humility to find the better way.
We deal honestly and fairly with our crews, customers, and partners. Long-term relationships in this industry are built on trust — and the right ones last decades.
Responsible profit lets us invest in our crews, strengthen the company, support our communities, and back the causes that matter to the trades we serve.
Tell us the job. We respond fast — with a working scope, capabilities check, and the right rig from our fleet or our partner network.
