Crane rental, specialized transportation, and rigging in Illinois & the Midwest.

Gatwood Crane Service has been serving the Chicagoland area for over 75 years. Gatwood has always provided quality trustworthy service. We began in the 1940’s as a steel erector. Shortly after starting the steel erection business, we were asked if we could put some HVAC units on a roof for one of Chicago’s leading mechanical contractors. Of course we were happy to oblige. Realizing the need for this service, Gatwood transitioned from a steel erector to a full service crane rental service.
