Crane

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you . From our Patriot Lifting team to your crews, clients, and families, Merry Christmas . We’re incredibly grateful for the trust, partnerships, and opportunities we’ve had throughout the year. Every job, every lift, and every relationship means more to us than you know. This season is about family, rest, reflection, and gratitude. Whether you’re spending time at home, traveling, or taking a well-earned bre

Some days at Patriot Lifting stand out more than others. Not because of a jobsite deadline or a tough pick but because of what those days represent. The day our new 165-ton crane  arrived was one of those moments. We documented the entire experience on video from early morning logistics to the moment the crane rolled into the yard—and it perfectly captures what growth looks like behind the scenes.

In crane work, not every call comes with weeks of planning. Some of the most critical jobs happen with little notice, tight windows, and high operational pressure. That was the case when Patriot Lifting received an emergency lift call  to unload a 44,000-pound air tractor , a specialized vehicle used to move aircraft between gates to reduce fuel consumption. With airport operations depending on fast turnaround and zero room for delays, reliability wasn’t just important, it wa

Some lifts demand more than horsepower—they demand precision, preparation, and complete trust between the crane operator and the crew on the ground. Patriot Lifting was recently brought in to handle the placement of a massive 36-foot silo weighing approximately 32,000 pounds . The lift required careful coordination, controlled movement, and exact execution to safely raise, maneuver, and set the silo without incident. From rigging strategy to final placement, this job was a te
