Allied Crane

What Allied Crane does

Allied Crane Ltd. is a family-owned tower crane distribution and service company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The company operates as the exclusive Canadian distributor for JASO Tower Cranes (manufactured in Idiazabal, Spain) and SMIE Technologies, and also offers Liebherr and Peiner equipment, giving it a portfolio that spans city cranes, flat top, luffing jib, saddle jib, derrick, and self-erecting configurations. Under the ownership of Derek Kasa (CEO) and Sharon Kasa (Controller), the firm employs 11-50 staff including factory-trained technicians, erectors, and yard personnel, with operations structured around certified crane erection, dismantling, top and inside climbing, repair, fabrication, and parts inventory.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: one-time tower crane sales, usage-based rentals, subscription-style leasing, hardware parts sales, and professional services for erection, dismantling, climbing, and repair/fabrication. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per project, with the company claiming the "best rates in Western Canada." Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by a comprehensive website, phone-based "one-call" service model, and after-hours contact line. Customers are segmented by vertical into construction companies (primary), oilfield, forestry, concrete forming firms, and high-end home builders, with all activity concentrated in Western Canada.

Allied Crane's technical differentiation rests on SMIE's hardware and software safety systems — anti-collision, zone management, crane cameras, beacons, and interactive site management software — combined with factory-authorized service capability and full WorkSafe BC plus cross-provincial safety compliance. The company positions itself as a full-lifecycle partner rather than a pure equipment reseller, with self-described capabilities spanning site assessment, conceptual planning, equipment selection, erection, ongoing maintenance, dismantling, and high-rigging/climbing during construction phases.
