CRANE & HOIST SALES INC.

What CRANE & HOIST SALES INC. does

Crane & Hoist Sales Inc. is a privately owned industrial services company founded in 1982 that manufactures, sells, installs, repairs, and inspects overhead material handling equipment. Its core product lines include bridge cranes, jib cranes, ergonomic material handling systems, and a full range of hoists, with equipment custom-manufactured to individual customer specifications. The company also operates a periodic preventative maintenance inspection program aligned with OSHA and ANSI standards, issuing letters of compliance and inspection stickers, and provides 24/7 emergency crane service.

The business runs from two facilities — a Denver, Colorado headquarters at 3860 Revere St and an Arizona office at 1514 W. Todd Dr in Tempe — through a direct sales model with field service technicians. Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time equipment sales, recurring inspection services, time-and-materials repair and emergency services, and replacement parts sales with nationwide shipping. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-priced, and repair work is billed at applicable retail market rates for labor and materials.

Crane & Hoist serves industrial manufacturing facilities, mining operations, and small industrial shops, with a particular niche in large mining sites running as many as 180 overhead cranes. The company has been owned and operated by Alan D. Walters, who brings over 39 years of crane and hoist industry experience. The firm employs 7 people, holds no external funding, and operates without institutional investors or parent company structure.
