Maxim Crane Works, L.P.

Maxim Crane Works, L.P., doing business as Crane Rental, provides crane rental and heavy lifting equipment services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (64% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on construction and infrastructure projects. The company is a for-profit partnership headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, competing exclusively under full-and-open procurement with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Maxim's federal work centers on crane rental with operators, equipment movement, and water quality testing for civil works infrastructure projects. Representative prime work includes a $750,000 single-award BPA with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Huntington District) running through August 2027 for indefinite-delivery crane rental services at lock, dam, and bulkhead facilities in Ohio and Kentucky; recent task orders under that vehicle include a $180,687 water quality testing call for West Point Mobile Cranes (awarded November 2025), a $129,299 crane rental with operator at Summersville Lake, West Virginia (March 2025), and a $15,818 crane rental call for Delaware Dam (March 2026). The company also held two earlier BPAs with the Corps at $750,000 each and has executed over 40 task orders across those vehicles since 2006.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Army Corps of Engineers. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 68% of recent awards, with the Army Corps of Engineers (25 awards, $2.1 million combined potential value) and its Huntington Engineering District (17 awards, $406 thousand) dominating the portfolio. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (23 awards), the Department of Energy Office of Cyber Security (20 awards), and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (10 awards, $45 thousand) round out the active set. By potential value, the top five agencies represent 87% of combined dollars, the same ranking but with Corps awards anchoring the concentration. Maxim works across 28 distinct federal agencies, though the concentration signal is clear.

Maxim's primary parent vehicles are Corps BPAs: BPA W9123722A0002 (11 task orders, $351 thousand), BPA W9123719A0012 (11 task orders, $401 thousand), BPA W9123717A0013 (11 task orders, $199 thousand), and BPA W91RUS11A0003 (8 task orders, $47 thousand). The company also places work under Waterfront MACC IV (9 task orders) and a naval construction IDIQ. Task orders cluster under PSC Winches, Hoists, Cranes, And Derricks (25 awards) and under NAICS Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (42 awards), with secondary activity in Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (27 awards) and Facilities Support Services (20 awards).

As a subcontractor, Maxim delivers crane rental and heavy lifting services primarily to Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations (Strategic Petroleum Reserve facility management and operations support, with multiple modifications tracking combined funds in the three-billion-dollar range), Manson Construction Company (crane rental for naval facilities pier replacement and Golden Gate National Recreation Area Alcatraz wharf stabilization work), Manson / Connolly Seal Beach joint venture (crane rental for coastal construction projects), Knight Construction & Supply (crane and operator rental for Big Bend Dam rail replacement and new crane manufacture and delivery), and Bechtel National on NASA Space Launch System Mobile Launcher 2 design and construction (cranes subscope).

Activity has declined from a 32-award peak in 2022 to six awards in 2026 to date. Combined potential value across all 140 awards (prime and sub) is $3.3 million against $4 million obligated, indicating obligation in excess of potential value. The source does not specify recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months. Maxim's federal footprint is anchored to equipment rental for military civil works and construction support, with minimal exposure to IT, professional services, or non-hardware offerings.
