Crane Service and Rigging
Agri-Systems provides crane service and rigging for grain storage construction, structural lifts, equipment installation, and maintenance projects across Central Minnesota. Our in-house cranes are operated by NCCO and ANSI credentialed professionals who understand safe lift planning, site conditions, and jobsite efficiency.
Most of our crane work supports grain bin erection, repairs, leg towers, bucket elevators, and grain handling equipment. We also provide lift support for commercial and structural projects, including steel placement, rooftop units, precast concrete, rafters, and general equipment setting. One call connects you with the operator, crane, and rigging support needed to complete the job.
Certified Crane Operators on Every Job
Every Agri-Systems project manager and foreman who operates a crane is certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators and the ANSI Accredited Program for Personnel Certification. These credentials reflect nationally recognized standards for safe, professional crane operation.
Our operators understand load charts, rigging requirements, ground conditions, equipment limits, and lift planning before work begins. That level of training helps keep projects organized, safe, and efficient from setup through completion.
Agri-Systems also keeps billing straightforward. Our crews focus on completing each lift safely and efficiently, without unnecessary delays or inflated jobsite hours. Customers pay for the work being done, not for time wasted on site.
Crane Service Applications
Agri-Systems cranes and experienced operators are available for a wide range of lift projects throughout Central Minnesota.
Grain Storage and Handling
Most of our crane work is tied to grain storage and handling facilities. This includes grain bin erection, structural lifts for leg towers, bucket elevator installation, handling equipment placement, and storm damage repairs. Our crews understand how grain facilities are built and how each lift fits into the larger project.
Structural and Commercial Projects
Agri-Systems also supports commercial and structural work outside of grain storage. Our cranes can be used for structural steel placement, rafter setting, precast concrete setting, rooftop unit placement, and other jobsite lifts that require trained operators and proper rigging.
Maintenance and Repair Work
Crane service is available for scheduled and urgent maintenance needs. This includes light replacement at height, equipment loading and unloading, repair lifts, and support for existing grain structures or commercial facilities.
