Since 1969, Barnhart Crane & Rigging has been providing innovative solutions to complex lifting and transportation challenges faced by heavy industry – from power generation to petrochemical to renewable energy, and beyond.

But equipment and services tell only part of the story. At Barnhart, we understand that what really counts to our customers is how our capabilities can help them deal with the matter at hand…what we can do for them right now to take a job and turn it into reality.

Doing this requires being more than mere equipment operators. It takes people who can look at your total project and design a solution from the ground up to accomplish your specific goals. After designing, engineering and executing some of the industry’s most innovative lifting and transportation solutions, we know that equipment doesn’t solve problems. People do.

That’s what “Minds Over Matter” is all about. Our minds. Your matter. Your problem…solved.
