Maxim Crane Works, L.P.

Maxim Crane Works, L.P., doing business as Crane Rental, is a for-profit crane rental and heavy equipment operator providing lifting, equipment movement, and specialized rigging services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (65% of recent awards) and subcontractor on federal construction and infrastructure projects. The vendor competes under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations across its footprint.

Maxim Crane Works operates nationally with headquarters in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Its capability portfolio centers on crane rental with operator services, heavy equipment movement, rigging, and specialized lifting for infrastructure maintenance, repair, and construction. The vendor characterizes itself as the largest coast-to-coast provider of comprehensive lifting services in the United States. Concrete prime work includes a $129,299 purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for crane rental with operator services at Summersville Lake, West Virginia (March 2025), a $128,532 BPA call for water quality testing services at West Point, Georgia (November 2025), a $114,318 BPA call for crane rental with operator at West Point, Georgia (November 2025), and a $41,923 firm fixed-price contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for equipment costs related to crane services at Lake Glendora Test Facility (April 2022).

Customer concentration clusters heavily with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its regional districts. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for 24 awards with $1.4 million combined potential value, and the Corps of Engineers' Huntington District (ENDIST Huntington) carries 21 awards with $1.2 million combined potential value — together representing 45 of 144 total awards and accounting for 87% of the vendor's combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (23 awards) and the Department of Energy Office of Cyber Security (20 awards) are also significant customers by volume, though dollars concentrate with the two Army Corps entities. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (11 awards, $56 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command ($150 thousand), and other defense agencies round out the active customer set.

Maxim Crane Works holds a $750,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, running through August 2027, which anchors the vendor's largest parent vehicle relationship. Task orders under this BPA span crane rental with operator at lock, dam, and bulkhead facilities across Ohio and Kentucky, with individual calls ranging from $3,498 to $128,532. The vendor also executes task orders under Army Corps of Engineers BPAs W9123722A0002 (14 task orders, $427 thousand combined value), W9123719A0012 (11 task orders, $401 thousand), W9123717A0013 (11 task orders, $199 thousand), and the Waterfront MACC IV vehicle (9 task orders). Recent activity shows 32 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, then 20 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 9 in 2026 to date — a volatile trajectory that reflects task-order timing under existing BPAs rather than sustained organic growth.

In its subcontractor role, Maxim Crane Works delivers crane rental services to Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations, LLC on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve management and operations contract, with multiple task orders and modifications spanning late 2023 through April 2026 for equipment rental and operator services at various SPR facilities. The vendor also provides 40-ton rough terrain crane rental to Manson Construction Co for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Alcatraz wharf stabilization project (multiple sub awards, August 2024), crane rental to Manson/Connolly Seal Beach JV for pier replacement work (14 sub awards, April 2022), and crane rental to Knight Construction & Supply for Big Bend Dam rail replacement and new crane manufacturing delivery (February 2024, June 2025). Sub work with Bechtel National on the NASA Space Launch System Mobile Launcher 2 design and construction (October 2021) rounds out named subcontract relationships.

The vendor's award portfolio is classified primarily under NAICS 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) with secondary exposure to heavy civil engineering and facilities support services. PSC codes center on equipment rental for construction and mining (23 awards), winches and hoists (25 awards), and cranes and derricks (13 awards). The vendor has maintained federal relationships since at least 2006, when it established the underlying Huntington District BPA relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers. Combined potential value across 144 awards totals $3.4 million, though obligated dollars across all awards reach $4.2 million, signaling that some prior-year awards carried larger obligations than current-source potential values reflect. The vendor serves 28 distinct federal agencies, though concentration is extreme: the top five customers (by award count) represent 69% of all awards, with two Army Corps entities alone carrying nearly one-half of all recent work.
