Illinois Crane Company Receives Fleet Safety Award & Fleet Safety Improvement Award

Bridgeview, Illinois crane company Imperial Crane Services, Inc. is proud to announce that they were presented with the prestigious Fleet Safety Award and Fleet Safety Improvement Award at the recently concluded Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) annual conference.

As noted on the organization’s website, SC&RA is an international trade association of more than 1,400 members from 46 nations. They provide networking opportunities to support the industrial and heavy equipment industry in operating safely, legally, and profitably around the world. SC&RA also helps members run more efficient and safer businesses by monitoring and affecting pending legislation and regulatory policies at the state and national levels, researching and reporting on safety concerns and best business practices, and hosting four yearly forums where these and other relevant member issues can be advanced.

Each year, SC&RA recognizes the outstanding achievements of member companies and individuals who have shown commitment to safety, ingenuity, perseverance, and altruism. One of the major awards given during the annual conference is the renowned Fleet Safety Award, which is awarded to member companies who have an accident frequency rate of less than 0.45 during the past year.

“Our team from Imperial Crane Services, Inc. is delighted to receive two of the biggest awards from SC&RA. Rest assured that our mission of providing impeccable Crane Services in Chicago will continue, while we consistently deliver the highest levels of safety in the industry,” says John Bohne, President and CEO of Imperial Crane Services, Inc.

The crane company is predominantly involved in the manufacturing and heavy equipment industries. Bohne explains that they are available 24/7 to provide quotes, perform site reviews, and assist customers with accurate and timely information. He says, “Our team of in-house estimators utilizes the latest programs to provide prompt crane sizing, quotes, and permit processing. We are also capable of providing alternative lifting methods and equipment as well as safety plans and cost-cutting suggestions, if necessary.” Bohne also states that they have a team of field estimators who will make job site visits, prepare site layouts and meet with the client’s project team to identify and provide the appropriate equipment needed for any type of project.

Furthermore, he points out that Imperial Crane’s fleet of heavy equipment is recently purchased, with an average age of three years, and up-to-date technology. They have a full range of heavy equipment and machinery, including 35 to 600 tons hydraulic truck cranes, up to 300 tons conventional truck cranes, up to 352 tons crawler cranes, 15 to 120 tons rough terrain cranes, 10 to 50 tons boom trucks with boom reach over 200, industrial elevators, and construction hoists. Bohne affirms that, “Our fleet of cranes and other heavy equipment is well maintained through the use of daily log books, frequent inspections, and onsite mechanics. We also hire the highest qualified operators that are specifically certified for the appropriate equipment needed on the project site.

Imperial Crane Services, Inc. is one of the top companies offering Crane Rentals in Chicago, a fact that is illustrated by the positive reviews and recommendations they receive from many of their previous customers.

Imperial Crane Services has a reputation for having a lot of high-quality equipment, so we chose the company for that reason.
