OUR STORY
Our Journey of Strength and Growth
From one crane to one of Nigeria’s trusted heavy lifting partners.
Every milestone in our journey reflects our commitment to solving industry challenges through investment, technical excellence and client trust. What started as a trading business has evolved into a specialised heavy lifting and logistics company supporting major industries across Nigeria.
The Foundation Years
Our story began in the commercial heart of Lagos where we operated as commodity traders, importing and exporting goods. During this period, we encountered major logistical challenges due to the shortage of heavy lifting equipment required to support cargo handling.
Instead of accepting delays as a limitation, we saw an opportunity.
In 1978, we made a bold investment — purchasing our first crane, the P&H T600XL. This marked our transition from trading into heavy lifting services.
Key Milestones
- Entry into Nigeria’s logistics sector
- Purchase of first crane (1978)
- Beginning of lifting support services
- First third-party lifting projects
Entering the Heavy Lift Industry
As demand grew, our lifting services quickly became recognised for reliability and professionalism. What started as internal support equipment soon became a commercial service requested by other businesses.
We began investing in equipment upgrades and operational capacity to support Nigeria’s growing industrial sector.
Key Milestones
- Expansion into commercial lifting services
- Growth of early client base
- Investment in additional equipment
- Building technical experience
Formalising the Business
After years of steady growth and industry presence, we officially registered Cranes R Us Nigeria Limited in 1999. This marked a major transition into a structured heavy lifting company.
This period focused on building organisational structure, safety procedures and professional service delivery standards.
Key Milestones
- Official company registration (1999)
- Expansion of technical workforce
- Development of operational systems
- Growth in industrial contracts
Expanding Capacity
A major breakthrough came in 2002 when we acquired the Grove TM2500E crane with a lifting capacity of 200 tons. This positioned Cranes R Us among serious heavy lift service providers in Nigeria.
This investment allowed us to compete for larger and more technically demanding projects.
Key Milestones
- Acquisition of 200-ton crane
- Entry into major industrial projects
- Fleet expansion strategy begins
- Growth in oil & gas sector projects
Industry Leadership Phase
Today, Cranes R Us Nigeria Limited operates a diversified fleet of cranes ranging from 40 to 500 tons alongside forklifts, manlifts and specialised transport equipment.
We now support major projects across oil & gas, construction, manufacturing and logistics industries, delivering engineered lifting solutions backed by experience and safety excellence.
