Every construction or industrial project reaches a point where precision, safety, and muscle converge. That point is the lift. And when you're dealing with 15 to 500 tons of steel, machinery, or infrastructure, the smallest mistake can shut down your site, cost you contracts, or put lives in danger.
From unexpected delays to unqualified crews, too many jobs get sidetracked because someone guessed when they should’ve measured. That’s where Howell Crane & Rigging Inc. comes in. Backed by decades of on-site experience and a
modern fleet of heavy-duty cranes, we deliver
certified crane operations and expert rigging—all without the pushy sales tactics. No commissions, just commitment.
