Independent third-party crane inspections across New Jersey
If you run cranes in New Jersey, you already know the pressure: tight schedules, busy sites, and no room for surprises when a lift is on the calendar. From port work near Newark and Elizabeth to high-rise builds along the Hudson waterfront, equipment has to be ready when the crew is ready. Marquis Crane Services provides independent third-party crane inspection services that help you stay compliant, reduce downtime, and keep your records clean and easy to find.
New Jersey’s mix of salt air near the coast, winter freeze and thaw, and long stretches of summer heat can be tough on wire rope, pins, sheaves, and structural components. Add in constant travel on highways like the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, plus frequent setup and tear-down, and you get wear that can sneak up fast. That’s why our inspections focus on real jobsite conditions, not a quick walk-around. We look closely at the items that commonly drive failures, citations, or delays, then document everything clearly so you can act fast.
Our team brings over 35 years of crane industry experience with deep hands-on time in repair, assembly and disassembly, and inspection. We inspect mobile and tower cranes, plus crawler and large hydraulic cranes with luffing attachments. We also support maritime and waterfront operations with inspection, load testing, and certification for Shore-Based Material Handling Devices, floating cranes, and derricks. If you need Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT) to spot internal rope issues like corrosion, broken wires, or loss of metallic area, we can handle that too.
Clients like working with us because we keep things straightforward. We use comprehensive inspection software that produces instant reports from the job site, which helps crews get back to work sooner and keeps office teams from chasing paperwork. You also get a simpler path for record-keeping, with cloud access available for quick retrieval when an auditor, GC, or safety manager asks.
One customer, Chet Chludenski, put it best: “Their team continues to exceed expectations year after year. 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… it’s a relief knowing our equipment is in good hands.”

Whether you’re working a refinery shutdown, a bridge pick, a tower crane climb, or a waterfront lift, you get an inspection that is detailed, documented, and focused on what keeps your job moving safely.
