Job Description

Deep South Crane & Rigging, LLC has been a leader in the heavy-lift and heavy-haul businesses since the 1980’s. Family owned and operated, we specialize in planning and executing rigging and lifting projects that other companies would call infeasible or impossible.

These cranes are specifically designed to work in the tight confines of the petrochemical and power generation industries. This  VersaCrane line is exclusive to Deep South, giving us a competitive edge. Along with the  VersaCrane line, Deep South owns and operates a variety of other cranes from manufacturers such as Liebherr, Terex-Demag, and Tadano.
