Licensed. Compliant. Safe. Every Time.

Licensing & Safety

At U.S. Crane & Rigging, safety is the foundation of every lift we perform. Our crews meet the highest standards of crane operator licensing, site readiness, and equipment compliance, ensuring they execute every job with precision and accountability. From engineered lift plans to on-site supervision, we prioritize rigging safety at every stage of a project. Our teams conduct rigorous load tests with certified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure our crane's safety and performance on every project.

All operators and riggers are certified under OSHA, the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), and applicable local authorities, including New York City's Department of Buildings (DOB). When you choose us, you're partnering with a team that treats licensing and crane safety certifications not as a requirement but as a responsibility.
