You’re on the hook for a critical lift. Everything depends on precise execution, but the rigging’s outdated, the equipment doesn’t meet OSHA standards, and your timeline is shrinking fast. Improper rigging or low-grade gear isn’t just a problem—it’s a risk. A single failure can shut down a site, damage millions in assets, or worse—put lives at risk.
At Howell Crane & Rigging Inc., safety isn't optional—it's engineered into every lift. We back each project with certified crews, modern equipment, and a hard-earned reputation built on compliance and performance. From hydraulic cranes to rigging hardware, our gear meets the highest safety standards, and our people know how to use it.
