Longview & Kelso Machinery Moving

Shutdown rigging and equipment moves for Cowlitz County plants.

Rigging for lower Columbia industry

Longview's mills and plants run large equipment that only comes out during a shutdown, and those windows are tight. Snell Crane Service plans the rigging, cranes and trucks so equipment comes out, goes back in and is set on schedule. We also handle new installs and relocations for manufacturers across Cowlitz County.

Mills, manufacturers and port businesses

We move pumps, motors, gearboxes, presses and process equipment for pulp, paper and wood products plants, plus fabrication equipment for metal shops and manufacturers in Longview, Kelso and Kalama. For moves between sites, our trucks and lowboys keep the whole job with one crew.

Communities we serve: Longview, Kelso, Kalama, Castle Rock, Woodland, Ariel
