Few places test a heavy-lift team like Hawaii. Wind farms perched on volcanic ridgelines, narrow island roads that were never designed for 200-foot blades, and a Pacific Ocean sitting between your project and nearly every piece of equipment that could support it. It's the kind of job a lot of crane companies politely pass on. It's the kind of job we love.
Our crews have supported wind work across the Hawaiian Islands time and time again — and every trip starts with a logistics puzzle most people never see. Cranes have to be disassembled, staged, and loaded at mainland ports. Ocean freight has to be coordinated down to the day so equipment lands when your project needs it, not weeks before or after. Permits, escorts, and island transport routes have to be mapped out long before the first wheel turns. Then, once the iron hits the ground, our team reassembles everything on site and goes straight to work.
It's a lot of moving pieces. That's the point. Handling that complexity is exactly what lets your team focus on the project itself instead of the puzzle of how to get there.
Hawaii is one chapter in a much bigger story. We've moved crews and equipment internationally to support wind and heavy-lift projects in Central America. We've threaded 200-foot blades through tight mountain switchbacks in High Prairie. We've delivered 205-foot blades from Wyoming to Oregon without skipping a beat. Wherever the wind blows strongest — ridgeline, island, or another continent — that's where the work is, and that's where we love to be.
The takeaway isn't the mileage. It's that our customers got their projects across the finish line because someone was willing to roll up their sleeves and figure out the logistics.
Every wind project has its own personality — different turbines, different terrain, different timelines, different stakeholders. The best way we can support your team is by giving you choices instead of locking you into one approach. Here's how we do that:
Wind work moves fast, and the best projects are the ones where everyone is pulling in the same direction. When your team needs to mobilize — whether it's a planned blade campaign, a scheduled maintenance window, or something that came up last minute — our crews are ready to roll. We pride ourselves on being easy to work with, quick to respond, and committed to keeping your project on pace from day one.
And we do it with safety at the center of everything. A 0.75 Total Recordable Incident Rate and more than 100 team members holding 10,000-hour Zero Incident Awards mean your project is in experienced hands — protecting your people, your assets, and your reputation along the way.
If you've got a wind project in a tough spot, an aggressive timeline, or a site everyone else has called "too complicated," that's exactly the kind of work we want to hear about. Tell us what you're planning — we'll bring the cranes, the trailers, the crews, and the options to help your team make it happen.
Wherever the wind takes your project, we'll meet you there.
