Crane & Lifting

What Crane & Lifting does

Crane & Lifting SAS is a Colombian private professional services firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Bogotá, specializing in mechanical load lifting certification, equipment inspection, and safety training. The company is accredited by ONAC (Organismo Nacional de Acreditación de Colombia) under ISO/IEC 17020:2012 (equipment inspection, code 14-OIN-017) and ISO/IEC 17024:2012 (personnel certification, code 13-OCP-001), enabling it to issue formally recognized certifications for cranes, forklifts, aerial platforms, lifting elements, and the operators, riggers, and supervisors who use them. Its service portfolio comprises four core streams: equipment inspection with structural, mechanical, electrical, and operational integrity analysis; theoretical and practical competency evaluations for personnel; safety training seminars; and non-destructive testing (visual, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle). The company supplements these with technical accompaniment during lifting operations and three public online portals for real-time verification of equipment, personnel, and NDT certification status.

Crane & Lifting generates revenue through direct B2B enterprise sales of professional services, delivered on-site at client facilities across five target verticals: hydrocarbons, mining, energy, construction, and industrial. Its GTM motion is enterprise field sales, with relationships cultivated through operational performance and downstream endorsement from hydrocarbon and mining operators. The company reports 31 active client relationships and operates with 11-50 employees. It markets primarily through its corporate website and direct relationships, with no disclosed pricing, public rate cards, or channel partnerships. Its competitive position rests on ONAC regulatory accreditation (a high entry barrier), 25+ years of sector experience, and a Colombian Safety Council RUC safety management score of 87% achieved in the December 18, 2025 audit. Geographic reach is concentrated in Colombia with a stated presence in the broader Latin American market, though no international offices are disclosed. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are documented; ownership is private and undisclosed.
