Chicago Crane Company Celebrates 50 Years In Business

Chicago crane company Imperial Crane Services (ICS) is celebrating 50 years in business this month. The company has spent the last half century as one of the top manufacturing and heavy equipment companies in Chicago. They have also managed to create quite a reputation for themselves in the construction and infrastructure sector. The staff at Imperial Crane Services are happy to be a part of the company’s legacy, and are proud of what ICS has accomplished since they opened their doors in 1969.

The company is committed to producing the best possible results every time they begin work on a project. As they state, “Our commitment to excellence is the most integral component in our daily operations. This means that we are dedicated to the highest standards in safety, service and quality. From the receptionist to the foreman, that commitment shows through our remarkable customer service, our state-of-the-art technology and the safest equipment and procedures anywhere in the world. Our greatest resource is our people, and their dedication is what has made Imperial Crane a trailblazer in this industry.”

With constant upgrades to both their equipment and their operation procedures, ICS strives to be the safest crane service company in the world. They have, over the years, received multiple safety awards from accredited organizations such as the American Subcontractors Association, the Three Rivers Manufacturers Association and the Specialized Crane and Rigging Association. To complement their state of the art equipment and advanced procedures and strategies, Imperial Crane Services employs the most skilled and highly trained people in the industry. All of this put together has resulted in ICS rising far above the competition over the past 50 years.

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

Reavis of Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated in a review on ICS’ site also praises the company, stating, “I wanted to send a bit of “swag” your way, and kindly request you share this with your Imperial team members. If it was not for the effort of yourself, Fred and others, our project at 111 W. Wacker Dr., would have been very difficult to complete. You guys are awesome, and it was a pleasure to meet and work with all.”
