About Precision Crane

Large Enough to Do the Job, Small Enough to Care

Precision Crane Service offers crane rental, trucking, and heavy machinery moving. We also offer specialty services for the wine and beverage industry. We will receive your equipment, store it, haul it to your site, and set it in place when you are ready.

We are a preferred mobile crane rental or taxi crane provider for businesses, utility companies, and governmental agencies in Central and Northern California due to our reputation for expertise, safety, efficiency, responsiveness, array of equipment, and quality of work. We've been a family run operation for three generations, providing family-business attention to detail and big-business capacity for large jobs. We're large enough to do the job, and small enough to care.

We are the one-stop shop throughout the Central Valley, major urban and suburban centers, outlying areas, coastal mountains, and agricultural areas. We're based in the Sonoma/Napa wine country ... the Precision Crane headquarters is in Windsor, CA in the middle of Sonoma County, and in Napa County we are known as Napa Valley Crane Service.

We're ready for your short notice emergency work, planned construction, equipment replacement, or other job. We can efficiently and safely execute projects of all kinds, from the simplest marshalling of building materials, to precision multi-crane placements of large and bulky objects in remote terrain, to emergencies when lives and livelihoods are on the line. We do everything from placement of small rooftop heating and air conditioning units to long-term construction contracts for utility companies.

And We Mean Precision

Our name says it all: we've built a reputation that "close enough" isn't good enough. We've moved and placed specialized equipment, wine and beverage production equipment, transformers, water/beverage tanks, pipe, culvert, air conditioners, railcars, boulders, large trees, prefab walls, prefab buildings ... you name it. Even the incredibly delicate and irreplaceable historic Fresnel lens in a lighthouse. When there's no room for error, people call us. We have a reputation for being on-time and on-budget for projects that must stick to a demanding schedule.

Remote Access and Rough Terrain are No Problem

Precision Crane can go anywhere the road takes us and a whole lot further. We have one of the widest arrays of equipment of any mobile crane or trucking service: all-terrain cranes, rough-terrain cranes, boom trucks, forward-reach forklifts, and others that enable us to lift and place heavy loads in places inaccessible to other crane services. If you have a problem location, call us.
