Parker's Crane Service provides crane rental, custom rigging, and heavy hauling across North Carolina from our home base in Concord. We are a family-owned and operated company with more than 40 years in the industry, and we supply well-maintained hydraulic truck cranes with NCCCO certified operators for industrial, commercial, residential, power, and telecommunication projects.

Our business began in the 1960s as a demolition and grading company founded by Lewis Parker Sr., and we started renting cranes in the mid-1970s. His sons, Charlie and Tim, assumed ownership in 1984. Today the company remains family-run, with a team focused on completing every project as safely and efficiently as possible.

Safety on Every Lift

The Parker's Crane staff has one main goal: to complete your project as safely and efficiently as possible. We follow a Zero Accident Philosophy, and our pre-planning runs from the start of your job to its completion. That process includes:

1. Pre-lift job assessments
2. Daily risk assessments
3. On-site hazard analyses
4. Routine management audits

Our safety measures are reflected in our outstanding EMR and TRIR ratings. Any lift at 75% or more of a crane's capacity receives a formal critical lift plan, and our critical lift services support the heaviest and most complex picks. Learn more on our safety page.
