Our Story

The CranesList Story

CranesList was born out of the goal to set up an internet focused company to promote and facilitate the buying and selling of pre-owned cranes. But unlike many internet based companies we also wanted to provide personal service to both buyers and sellers. Using the internet can be a great thing in terms of providing information. But it's often at the expense of personal relations. At CranesList we get to know our customers and are with them every step or the way. We will be on a first name basis. We want your phone calls and email and we respond quickly. We will always strive to put personal service at the forefront of all our endeavors. We know the importance of reputation in this industry and our proud of ours. 

Crane sales are complex transactions and we have a great deal of experience in making the crane buying and selling experience a smooth process. To this end we are in direct communication with our customers via phone and email. We create standard Comprehensive Listings for our cranes with a great deal of information, photos and videos. We find letting a buyer get a good look at what is for sale before hand can eliminate a lot of wasted time for all involved. And we market our listings through advertising we pay for. We also work a network of crane buyers and sellers.

Our goal is for win-win transactions between a buyer and seller.

For buyers we really want you to find the crane you are looking for. Sometimes this isn't a crane listed on our site. But we will gladly attempt to find the crane for you. And hope that in the future you will remember us should you be looking to buy or sell a crane down the road.

And for sellers we want to make selling your crane as easy as possible. Our listings are free. We will act as an agent for selling your crane. If, and only if we bring you the buyer and facilitate the sale of your crane do we get paid our broker's fee. That amount is agreed on in advance. If you are able to sell your crane elsewhere you don't owe us anything. You are free to market your crane through other means as long as you or other sales agents don't advertise it at a lower price than we do.
