Our marine work centers on the New Orleans yard but ranges across the Gulf Coast — from the Calcasieu Ship Channel to the Houston Ship Channel, with stops at every port and terminal in between. Vessel topside picks, gangway and deck-mod sets, container support, dredge equipment moves, lock-and-dam parts, and emergency salvage. Cranes are marine-spec maintained and operators are dock-experienced.
Marine lifts have a different physics than landside work. Long radius over water, controlled descent, tide and wind windows, and harbor pilot coordination. We size the crane to the slip, the lay berth, or the channel constraint and bring the rigging tuned for the pick. For routine terminal support we keep cranes on standing arrangements; for emergencies we mobilize fast.
Hydraulic truck crane for mid-weight commercial, light industrial, and downtown picks where 40T is short and 90T is overkill.
All-terrain crane that drives at highway speed and works off-road on the same day. Most-requested crane in our fleet.
Long-boom all-terrain class for heavy commercial, marine, and refinery picks needing reach plus capacity.
Heavy-lift class for transformer sets, vessel work, structural sets, and critical industrial picks.
Industrial heavy-lift class for refinery turnaround, LNG, marine topside, and substation work.
Large-class all-terrain for LNG modules, refinery vessel sets, and major industrial picks.
Crane plus NCCCO-certified operator, fuel, insurance, and ongoing maintenance. Our standard rental model.
Marine-spec cranes for vessel topside picks, dock work, barge handling, and shipyard support across the Gulf Coast.
Engineered heavy lift execution for refinery, petrochem, LNG, marine, and major structural picks across the Gulf South.
Live dispatch around the clock for refinery upsets, storm response, marine emergencies, and urgent commercial picks.
Routinely, along the Mississippi, the Calcasieu Ship Channel, the Houston Ship Channel and the Intracoastal. Barge work is a large share of what the New Orleans, Lake Charles and Baytown yards do.
The base may move and the load may not be recoverable. Tide and river stage change the effective radius through the pick, barge trim shifts as weight transfers, and anything dropped over water is generally lost. Each of those changes the plan.
Only once the deck rating is known. Wharf and dock structures frequently have lower load limits than they appear to, so the deck capacity governs crane selection ahead of the load weight.
Yes, including fabrication yard loadouts along the US 90 corridor and the ship channels. Those jobs are schedule- and tide-driven, so the window usually matters more than the crane.
Yes. Equipment landing, engine and component changes, and general shipyard support are regular work, often scheduled around vessel movements rather than the working day.
They change the height relationship between hook and load, which changes radius and therefore chart capacity. On the Mississippi the stage can shift materially across a multi-day job, so it is planned rather than watched.
Usually all-terrain and hydraulic truck cranes in the 65 to 225 ton range, because reach across a barge or quay matters more than raw capacity. Larger units come in for module work.
Most do, on top of ISN or Avetta. Terminal badging and escort rules vary by facility, so we sort access before the job rather than at the gate.
Two-minute call to scope the pick. Same-day quote in most cases.
