For three generations many of the most demanding construction lifting assignments in Michigan have relied on the versatility of cranes rented from the Connelly family. The business was started by L. W. "Walt" Connelly in 1943 and is managed today by his grandson Mike Connelly.

"We sell service in this listing business. What we have is our reputation and the reputation of our guys in the field. Some of our equipment operators have been with us for 35-40 years," Mike Connelly says.

"You can't over-emphasize the importance of good equipment operators and the right cranes" Walt Connelly once said.

When it comes to the right cranes for your construction project, Connelly Crane has the perfect match for any job. With a fleet of over 90 cranes and more than 60 highly skilled crane operators, Connelly Crane can offer you the right match for your job.

Connelly Crane offers cranes with capacities ranging from 5 to 365 ton.

With an occasional pause to restructure, Connelly has always focused on meeting the construction crane market's needs. Avoiding the mistake some crane firms made to expand to sizes beyond control, Connelly has kept developing the southeastern Michigan market, competing on the basis of versatility and skill against tough competition.

To remain a competitor, Connelly Crane continues to upgrade its crane fleet to provide the most advanced cranes to its customers (picture at the top of this page shows 70 ton Hydraulic Link Belt crane). Such modern equipment allows the company to further refine a growing reputation for being able to tackle just about any lifting assignment, no matter how out of the ordinary.

Our rental fleet includes boom trucks, telescopic forklifts, rough terrain cranes, all terrain cranes, conventional and hydraulic truck cranes, conventional crawler cranes and now both fixed and portable tower cranes. We also have available OSHA approved man baskets, and convenient moon buggies are available to use with our cranes. We believe that our customer deserves the latest and technically advanced equipment for both operated and bare rentals. That's why Connelly Crane Rental offers state of the art cranes. Our versatile all terrain cranes combine the roadability of a truck-mounted crane with the on-site performance of a rough terrain crane. Highway speeds up to 55 mph are possible, eliminating the need for special travel permits and hauling in many cases. Special suspension systems and four-mode steering provide outstanding off-road maneuverability. Our rough terrain cranes offer the perfect combination of power and traction for travel on rutted, muddy job-sites. A choice of four steering modes - front-only, rear-only, crab, and coordinated - makes it easy to maneuver in and out of the tightest quarters. Rugged box-section frame absorbs shock loads and torsional stress encountered in rough terrain work. Connelly Crane Rental is committed to supplying quality products and services that meet our customer requirements, expectations and demands in accordance with Contractual requirements. We should recognize the diverse needs and requirements of our customers and always seek out workable solutions to meet these demands. We will further improve on our products and services to better suit customer's needs and bring them even more benefits.
