CRANE LOAD TRANSFERS

HEAVY LIFTS, ON-SITE OR AT OUR FACILITY

Our Peterbilt rotator carries a certified crane boom. We can transfer shipping containers between trailers, lift and re-seat tipped equipment, pull engines out of trucks at a breakdown location, or swap loads that have shifted.

For controlled-environment work, we bring it into our enclosed shop where an overhead crane handles the transfer under roof.

Insured, certified, and TWIC-cleared for Ship Channel and refinery lifts.

SHIPPING CONTAINER TRANSFERS

When a container has to come off one trailer and go onto another — a chassis swap, a dropped box that needs re-spotting, or a 20-foot or 40-foot conex moving from a flatbed to the ground — we make the lift with the rotator boom and a rigging plan matched to the box. We transfer loaded and empty containers at yards, job sites, and plant laydown areas across greater Houston, and we can stage the trailers so the swap happens in one controlled pick rather than a scramble. For Ship Channel and Port of Houston container work, our operators are TWIC certified to clear the gate.

ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & COMPONENT PULLS

A Class 8 truck that drops a motor or a transmission on the side of I-10 or US-59 does not always need a full tow to a shop. Sometimes the component has to come out on scene, or get lifted back in once the driveline is ready. We pull engines, transmissions, differentials, and other heavy components at the breakdown location or in our enclosed Crosby shop, where an overhead crane gives a clean, controlled lift under roof. Lifting a 2,500-lb diesel out of a frame rail without dinging the cab or the radiator takes the right pick point and a steady operator, not just a hook.

LOAD-SHIFT CORRECTION & RESTOWING

A trailer load that shifts in transit — a stack of steel that slid forward, palletized freight that broke loose, a coil or a crate that moved off its dunnage — is a safety problem before it is a delivery problem. We come to the truck, lift the shifted load off the deck, and re-set it so the weight is balanced and the cargo can be re-secured to roll legally. If the load cannot be salvaged on the trailer, we transfer it to a second trailer instead. A real dispatcher takes the call 24/7; we bring the lift to you on the shoulder, at a scale, or at a yard.

ON-SCENE UPRIGHTING & RE-SEATING

Equipment tips over. A forklift rolls on uneven ground, a generator or a transformer comes off its skid, a piece of machinery slides off a trailer ramp. Rather than drag it — which usually adds damage — we rig it, lift it, rotate it, and set it back upright or back onto its mounting point. Our heavy fleet includes a 35-ton heavy wrecker and 50- and 75-ton rotators, so we have the lifting capacity behind the rigging to handle awkward, top-heavy, or high-value pieces without making the situation worse.

INDOOR CRANE WORK IN OUR ENCLOSED SHOP

Some lifts should not happen on a gravel shoulder in the rain. For high-value components, precision re-seats, or jobs that need to be staged over hours, we bring the equipment into our enclosed shop at the 4-acre Crosby facility, where an overhead crane handles the transfer under roof and out of the weather. Working indoors means clean ground, controlled lighting, and the time to do a delicate pick right. That matters for engine rebuilds going back into a frame, equipment that needs to sit while parts are sourced, or anything you would rather not lift in a live traffic lane.

REFINERY & PLANT LIFTS ALONG THE SHIP CHANNEL

Our operators are TWIC certified, so we clear the gate at refineries, chemical plants, and marine terminals along the Houston Ship Channel and the SH-225 corridor. Inside the fence we handle container transfers in laydown yards, component pulls on plant equipment, and lifts that an in-house crew is not staffed or rigged for. Plant and terminal work is routine for us, not a special request. We are TWIC-cleared and insured for it, so getting through the gate is straightforward.

EVERY LIFT STARTS WITH A RIGGING PLAN

A lift is only as safe as the plan behind it. Before anything comes off the ground we read the load — the weight, where the center of gravity sits, the pick points, and the ground or deck we are working from — and rig it so the lift is controlled from start to finish. That is the difference between a transfer that goes clean and one that drops a corner or swings into the cab. We have run lifts this way since 2001, and the rigging plan is part of the job, not an upcharge.

CRANE & LIFT SERVICE ACROSS GREATER HOUSTON

We dispatch lift-capable trucks 24/7/365 from our Crosby facility and work across the metro — the I-10 corridor through Baytown and Katy, US-59 / I-69, I-45, Beltway 8, and the SH-225 refinery corridor. Whether the lift is on a roadside, at a job site, inside a plant gate, or scheduled into our enclosed shop, a real dispatcher picks up and gives you a straight ETA. Typical roadside response across greater Houston runs about 20 to 40 minutes depending on location and traffic.
