Independent crane inspections across New England
In New England, lifts don’t pause because the weather turns or a shutdown window is short. Between coastal wind, salt air, and long winters that are hard on wire rope and components, you need inspections that are thorough, fast to document, and easy to hand off to your safety team or customer. Marquis Crane Services helps owners and operators across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut stay ready for the next pick with independent third-party crane and rigging inspection services that keep compliance straightforward.
We’re headquartered in Southern Maine, and we work throughout the region on mobile cranes, crawler cranes, large hydraulic cranes with luffing attachments, and tower cranes. We also support maritime and waterfront operations with inspection, certification, and load testing for Shore-Based Material Handling Devices, floating cranes, and derricks. If you’re running jobs around Portland, Boston, Providence, New Haven, or any of the shipyards and industrial yards in between, you know how quickly paperwork gaps and unclear findings can slow down a crew. Our goal is to reduce downtime and remove guesswork, with clear results and records you can actually use.
One thing clients mention a lot is how steady the process feels. As Chet Chludenski put it after using us for annual inspections: “They’re knowledgeable, reliable, and extremely thorough with every inspection. Communication is always clear, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is compliant and safe.” That matches how we work on-site, show up prepared, inspect with care, and leave you with a clean path forward.
