Our Core Services & Heavy Equipment Solutions

Equipment & Safety
Safety isn’t optional—it’s built into everything we do. Our rentals and services comply with OSHA and MSHA regulations, and all operators are NCCCO certified. Whether you’re lifting HVAC units or steel beams, we bring the tools and training that keep people and property protected.
Why It’s Important to Hire a Professional in Crane & Rigging
In this line of work, DIY or cutting corners is a recipe for disaster. Heavy lifting requires more than machinery—it demands technical knowledge, load balance awareness, safety compliance, and operator certification. Without a skilled crew and the right rigging techniques, projects can face catastrophic failure, costly damage, or serious injury. At Howell Crane & Rigging Inc., our team doesn't just run machines—we engineer solutions. From calculating dynamic loads to pre-planning site logistics, we ensure every lift is safe, legal, and precise.

Every project has a critical path, and equipment failure or scheduling delays can break it. With expert crane services, you maintain control over your timelines and budget. Lifts are executed with speed, safety, and efficiency, reducing downtime and risk. Whether you’re installing structural steel, setting tanks, or lifting rooftop units, a professional crew ensures flawless execution and peace of mind.

Expert Tip: Start With the Lift Plan
One of the most overlooked steps in any crane operation is the lift plan. Without one, even experienced crews can face preventable issues. Our team offers on-site assessments and 3D lift plans, which simulate lift paths, crane capacity, and ground conditions—avoiding risks before a crane even arrives. If your crane provider isn’t doing this, it’s time to rethink your vendor.
