Crane Rental in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee has always been important to the story of Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental. Not only is it Wisconsin’s largest city, but it’s where the original Dawes Transfer was headquartered. With four branch locations in Wisconsin, Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental, Inc. has offered crane rental solutions in the Midwest and beyond since 1947. In 1978, Dawes became a member of the ALL Family of Companies, with the Milwaukee location operating as Dawes headquarters. Dawes Milwaukee is home to a full-service paint booth as well as manufacturer qualified welders. We also have a for-hire trucking company DST (Dawes Special Transport) that is able to handle our customers’ transportation needs locally or across the country.

Fleet Highlights Include

  • Many Liebherr all-terrain cranes have been introduced into the Wisconsin market through Dawes including the LTM 1130-5.1, LTM 1160-5.2, LTM 1200-5.1, LTM 1230-5.1, LTM 1450-8.1 and the LTM 1500-8.1. We have special attachments for many of these ATs, including short rigging jibs that allow us to perform special lifts with precast panels 

  • The LTM1160-5.2 and LTM1450-8.1 are creating quite the buzz in Wisconsin with their Vario-Base® and Vario-Ballast® features which in many cases gives Dawes the ability to save our valued customer base a great deal of money while improving safety.
