Moving Machinery From Our Home Base
Snell Crane Service is a family business based in Olympia since 1992, so Thurston County moves start close to our own yard and crews. We move food and beverage equipment in Tumwater, distribution and manufacturing gear around Lacey and Hawks Prairie, and print, utility and building systems in Olympia.
Because our 4.5-acre yard is here, we can pull machines out of your old building, store them in our 24-hour secured yard, and set them when the new space is ready. Our project managers run the whole job.
Local Know-How
Plants, Port and Public Buildings
Tumwater's brewing and food processing buildings have tanks, kettles and process lines sitting on raised slabs and in tight rooms. Lacey and Hawks Prairie distribution buildings are newer tilt-ups with wide docks, and the Port of Olympia handles marine and cargo equipment along Budd Inlet.
Most loads move on I-5 and US-101, and the downtown street grid is small, so we plan truck staging carefully. We take care of all the permits, paperwork and hassle.
