Crane & Rigging Corporation

What Crane & Rigging Corporation does

Crane & Rigging Corporation is a privately held, Southeast-US-focused crane rental and industrial rigging operator headquartered in Yadkinville, North Carolina, founded in 1968 (firmographic data shows 1962, secondary source supports 1968; the company itself advertises 'since 1968'). The firm provides daily operated crane rentals with NCCCO- and MSHA-certified operators, industrial rigging and machinery moving (via its wholly owned subsidiary Advantage Machinery Services, Inc.), specialized equipment transportation on a tractor-trailer fleet that includes a 100-ton gooseneck and multi-axle units, and climate-controlled warehousing for short- and long-term storage of heavy equipment and industrial components. Its fleet spans all-terrain (Grove GMK 7550, Liebherr LTM 1400/1230/1130, Tadano 6.300-1), crawler (Liebherr LR 1300 SX.1), hydraulic truck, rough terrain, industrial, boom truck, forklift and gantry units — a high capital-intensity mix that supports projects up to and exceeding 100 tons of lift capacity.

The go-to-market is a sales-led, project-based model. Pricing is quote-driven and tailored to crane type, lift complexity and duration; sales is anchored on a website 'Get a Quote' funnel plus inbound phone (1-800-642-0962). Custom 3D lift planning is offered as a differentiated service for project safety. Customers are predominantly horizontal — construction and infrastructure contractors (e.g., North Carolina DOT, South Carolina DOT for bridge work), industrial and manufacturing plants for machinery relocations, healthcare facilities (Atrium Main Hospital), and hospitality/entertainment (Catawba Two Kings Casino in 2025). Marketing extends to organic social on TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn for brand presence and project showcasing. Operations run from 9 branch locations and 4 warehouse facilities across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, supporting regional deployment across 'NC, SC, TN, VA and Beyond.'
