Crane Rental in Aberdeen
Heavy Lifts on the Harbor
Snell Crane Service lifts bridge girders, mill equipment, marine gear and plant components in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Elma, Montesano and across Grays Harbor. Work here tends to be heavy and exposed to weather off the Pacific, so we plan wind, ground and reach before we pick a crane.
We've been crossing to the harbor from our Olympia yard since 1992. Our project managers run your job, from the site visit and lift plan to the permits, and our NCCCO-certified operators make the picks.
Local Know-How
SR-8, US-12 and the Port
Most of our cranes reach Grays Harbor on SR-8 and US-12 through McCleary, Elma and Montesano, where bridges, utility sites and industrial yards line the route. In Aberdeen and Hoquiam, the Port of Grays Harbor, sawmills, pulp and wood products plants and seafood processing bring heavy, recurring lifts.
Waterfront and river-mouth sites often sit on fill and tide flats, so mats, ground bearing and outrigger loads get checked up front. Coastal wind decides the lift window, and we stay flexible on timing because we're open 24/7.

Local Project
From the Job Site
On the Hwy 12 bridge near McCleary, we teamed up with another contractor and set the job with a 185-ton and a 240-ton crane working together. Two-crane picks on a highway bridge mean a shared lift plan, careful positioning and tight traffic control, which is the kind of planning our project managers do every week.
FAQ
Aberdeen Questions
Do you provide crane rental in Elma, WA?
Yes. Elma is on our regular route to the harbor on SR-8 and US-12, and we work at Satsop, McCleary and Montesano as well.
How do you handle wind on coastal lifts?
Our project managers build wind limits into the lift plan, and our operators watch conditions on site. If the wind is up, we reschedule the pick rather than push it.
Can you bring a crawler crane to Grays Harbor?
Yes. Our Liebherr LR 1300 crawler is rated at 330 tons. Crawlers travel in pieces, so we plan the hauling and assembly space with you.
