Parker's Crane Service provides crane rental, custom rigging, and heavy hauling for contractors, facility managers, and project owners across South Carolina. Our service area reaches about 150 miles from our headquarters in Concord, NC, which includes Columbia, Greenville, Anderson, and surrounding communities. Every rental comes backed by experienced personnel and a well-maintained fleet of Grove hydraulic cranes.

A Family-Owned Carolinas Crane Company

Parker's Crane has been family owned and operated since the 1960s. Lewis Parker Sr. started the business as a demolition and grading company, and it began renting cranes in the mid-1970s. His sons, Charlie and Tim, learned every aspect of the business and took ownership when their father retired in 1984.

Today, with over 40 years in the industry, we have built a loyal customer base and are eager to serve new customers throughout both Carolinas. We are a first choice for industrial, commercial, residential, power, and telecommunication projects.
