Tyler Garvin
Owner
“We don’t look at crane staffing as filling seats. Lift Directors, operators, and riggers have to understand the equipment, the work, and how their decisions affect the entire project. We focus on placing proven crane professionals who can support production, protect the workforce, and maintain a high standard in the field.”

Cory Erickson
Operations Manager
“Everyone we place should be vetted on proven field experience and a documented track record of complex lifts, not just a resume or a certification list. The right person understands the equipment, the rigging, and the site, and knows it’s their responsibility to stop a lift when something isn’t right.”
