For crane operators, heavy-lift specialists, riggers & specialised service firms

Crane and heavy-lift websites built for procurement and safety scrutiny.

Your buyer is a construction manager, EPC contractor or wind-farm operator with a lift to plan. They need to know your fleet, your reach, your safety record and your engineering depth before they pick up the phone.

We work with crane, rigging and heavy-lift contractors across the US and UK, with most builds landing between $7,500 and $25,000 depending on how much system sits behind the site.

The problem

Why most crane and heavy-lift sites lose the buyer.

Crane and rigging is a high-stakes, specialised industry. The buyer is technical, safety-conscious and timeline-pressed. The websites in this space are still mostly thin brochure sites with a fleet list and a phone number. Five patterns we see almost every time.

  • 01

    Fleet listed without specs

    "500-ton crawler crane." Buyers need boom length, jib config, lift capacity at radius, maximum reach. None of it on the site.

  • 02

    Safety record invisible

    TRIR, EMR, OSHA citations, safety certifications. The buyer's risk team needs this before they consider you. The site doesn't surface it.

  • 03

    No engineering depth on display

    Heavy-lift planning involves engineering. Lift plans, FEA, ground-bearing studies. The site rarely shows the firm has this capability.

  • 04

    Geographic reach unclear

    Where do you operate? Where can you self-mobilise? Where do you sub-contract? Procurement teams need to know in the first 30 seconds.

  • 05

    Operator and crew quality nowhere

    NCCCO certifications, hours of experience, retention rate. The people doing the work are the differentiator. The site doesn't say who they are.

What we build instead

A site engineered for procurement and safety scrutiny.

Fleet with full specs. Safety performance surfaced. Engineering depth proven. Geographic reach clear. Operator credentials visible.

  • Fleet page with full specs, lift charts, configurations per asset
  • Project case study template with lift weight, height, complexity, outcome
  • Safety performance surface (TRIR, EMR, certifications, programmes)
  • Engineering services page covering lift planning, FEA, ground-bearing analysis
  • Geographic reach map with self-mobilisation vs partnered regions
  • Operator credentials and crew certifications page
  • Industry vertical landing pages (wind, oil & gas, marine, construction)
  • Inquiry routing by project scale and region
  • Structured data, full search-engine setup, Search Console wiring
  • 30 days of post-launch optimisation against real traffic

Turnkey

You make the lift, we run the website.

Design, build, hosting, security, monitoring and the changes that come after launch are handled as one engagement, so nobody on your team has to become the website person.

The process

From brief to launch and beyond.

Most agencies scope discovery as a Phase 0 paragraph and treat production as the work. We invert that. Discovery is real work with the operator. Production is built on what it finds. Launch isn't the end of the engagement.

  1. 01 · Step

    Discovery

    Working session with the operator (not just marketing). Audit of the existing site, competitors and search behaviour. The brief comes out of this work, not into it.

  2. 02 · Step

    Strategy & content

    Positioning. Architecture. Copy for the homepage and the project case study template. Photography brief. Sector pages mapped to buyer search intent.

  3. 03 · Step

    Design

    Visual system, page designs, brand application. Designed in code rather than Figma so the team sees the real artefact, not a flat mockup.

  4. 04 · Step

    Build

    Modern production build using the latest web standards. CMS configured. Project case studies migrated and rewritten where needed. Analytics, structured data and Search Console wired.

  5. 05 · Step

    Launch & optimise

    Go live. Daily review of real user behaviour for the first 30 days. Two or three rounds of changes against what the data shows. Most agencies stop at launch. We don't.

Frequently asked

Questions crane and heavy-lift firms ask.

Can the site host detailed lift charts and crane specs?
Yes. Each crane gets a dedicated page with downloadable lift charts (PDF or interactive), full spec sheets, configuration options. Procurement teams and lift planners can self-serve.
How do you handle safety performance disclosure?
Dedicated safety performance page with TRIR, EMR, OSHA citation history, certifications and safety programmes. Some firms publish; some keep it gated behind an inquiry. We support both patterns.
Can we surface engineering services depth?
Yes. Engineering services page with lift planning, FEA, ground-bearing analysis, rigging design. Each capability tied to relevant project work. This is one of the most under-surfaced credentials in the industry and one of the easiest wins.
How do we communicate geographic reach honestly?
We design a reach map that distinguishes self-mobilisation regions, partnered regions and on-request regions. Procurement teams need to know what they're really getting. Vague "national coverage" claims hurt more than they help.
Will the site help with operator recruitment?
Yes. NCCCO-certified operators are in critical shortage. Careers as a first-class section. Pay transparency, equipment, time-off, training programme. Surface depth of certified crew.
Are you used to working in heavily regulated sectors?
Yes. Our client base includes environmental tech, energy and consulting firms where regulatory and safety credibility is everything. The instincts transfer.
