When you're looking for a crane service company, the size of the crane is only part of the equation. You need the right equipment, experienced people behind the controls, and a team that knows how to plan the job before the first pick ever leaves the ground.
That's what Sterett Crane brings to the table.
Since 1949, we've built our reputation by taking on tough jobs, investing in serious equipment, and surrounding it with people who know how to put it to work. Today, Sterett Crane operates one of the largest crane fleets serving the Midwest and Southeast, giving our customers access to the equipment and experience needed for everything from everyday crane service to major heavy lift projects.
No two jobs are exactly alike, which is why having the right crane matters.
Sterett Crane's fleet includes mobile cranes, all-terrain cranes, crawler cranes, boom trucks, and specialized heavy-lift equipment capable of supporting projects across construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, power generation, petrochemical, and other heavy industries.
At the top of that fleet is our Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1, one of the largest mobile cranes in the world and a machine few crane companies in the United States have in their fleet.
When a project requires serious lifting capacity, extended reach, or a specialized crane configuration, Sterett Crane has the equipment to get to work.
Big lifts leave little room for guesswork.
Our heavy lift crane and rigging projects start well before a crane arrives on site. Sterett Crane's project managers and lift planning teams evaluate site conditions, crane positioning, load weights, lift radius, rigging requirements, ground conditions, access, scheduling, and other factors that can make or break a project.
That preparation gives our field crews a solid plan to work from and gives our customers confidence when it's time to make the pick.
Whether we're setting bridge girders over a railroad, changing out equipment inside a tight industrial facility, offloading oversized components from a barge, or supporting a major plant outage, critical planning is what keeps the work moving.
A big crane doesn't mean much without the right operator sitting in the seat.
Sterett Crane is proud of the highly skilled, NCCCO certified operators, riggers, lift planners, mechanics, dispatchers, and project managers behind our crane service. Our experienced crews understand that every lift carries a responsibility to the customer, the project, and everyone working around it. Our operators go through routine training and recertification programs to enhance their skills and promote job site safety.
It's that experience that allows us to take some of the industry's most capable machines and put them to work efficiently.
The equipment gets the attention. Our people earn the trust.
Hiring the right crane contractor should make your project easier, not add another problem to manage.
Sterett Crane works alongside general contractors, plant managers, construction teams, engineers, and project owners to develop lifting solutions that fit the job. From a single crane pick to long-term projects requiring multiple cranes, specialized rigging, transportation coordination, and detailed lift planning, our team is built to support the work from start to finish.
Our capabilities include:
One call gets you access to the equipment, people, and experience needed to compose plans and make critical lifts happen.
Sterett Crane has grown well beyond our Kentucky roots. Today, our crews and equipment support customers throughout the Midwest and Southeast, operating out of 12 regional offices, providing dependable crane service for projects large long-term or short.
Our growing presence allows us to put specialized machines and experienced crews closer to the customers who need them while maintaining the service and relationships Sterett Crane has been built on for more than 76 years.
For our customers, that means more equipment, greater capabilities, and a crane service company that's ready when the next project comes up.
