Commercial Construction
With one of the largest and most modern crane fleets in North America and generations of lift industry veterans who lend their knowledge every day, we are well equipped to handle all commercial construction projects large and small.

Roads And Bridges
Our experience spans every type of bridge construction and geographic conditions. Our cranes have worked on barges in a reservoir, on embankments 130 feet over a river, and we’ve even imbedded tower cranes into bridge piers to get the job done. More than just the right crane to do the lifting, we provide the seasoned crane specialists to figure out the “how.”

Power Generation
We have a history of helping to keep America’s power industry running. We began with the nation’s post-World War II suburb-building boom, and today we’re helping to retrofit the country’s coal-fired power plants and raise wind farms. It’s rare that a crane company can provide so much heavy-hitting power for the power generation industry, but ALL has some huge numbers in its arsenal.

Plants And Processing
Whether it’s adding a production line, replacing a conveyor, or taking on a full expansion, we have the equipment with the power and reach to get the job done. We can even set up in tight spaces where you never thought a crane could go. Knowledgeable lift planning and assistance sees that the job is done right, no matter what the obstacle.

- BIG HARVEST - Everything about farming is getting bigger.

With bigger equipment, harvests are bigger, and Berger’s company needs more and bigger storage.
- STEADY AS NEUROSURGEONS - To upgrade the processing line at a Chicago-area metals-handling plant, a truss bridge supporting a conveyor needed to be removed to make way for its eventual replacement.
- WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S WHEY - In the heart of America’s dairy country, a cheese-processing plant is in the midst of a multiyear modernization project that will increase its ability to process more milk and make larger blocks of cheese.
- BUILDING INSIDE A BUILDING - When it comes to cranes, bigger isn’t always better. Especially when your construction project is reminiscent of Russian nesting dolls.
Facility Maintenance
Yes, we excel at new construction, but a large part of our business is providing cranes for facility maintenance. Whether it’s for routine facility maintenance or special projects that require long-term crane rentals, we can provide the equipment to help you lift just about anything, from cartons on shelves to a huge HVAC unit to a new church steeple. Getting you precisely the right crane is a measure of the value we deliver, and our fleet and service acumen make us second to none.
