Allied Crane Service was established in 1987, but Dan has been in the crane business since 1974. He started working on and operating cranes since he was 16 years old, and became a full time professional crane operator when he turned twenty.

Since 1987, he has personally completed more than 50,000 crane jobs. Not only is he a master crane operator, he also is a recognized expert on the maintenance and repair of cranes. In his long 41-year tenure as a crane operator, he has encountered practically every mechanical crane malfunction possible, and he has personally repaired, maintained, and/or replaced every part of a crane.He is Southern California’s most experienced crane operator. As a master of the crane craft, he is the go-to guy for difficult jobs that call for extreme precision and technical crane “problem solving.” He is able to do very technically challenging crane assignments in a variety of environments – from suburban environments to densely populated urban areas with very tight space constraints; from uneven mountainous terrain to fragile residential surfaces (e.g., clay tiles); from exclusive residential areas in west L.A. and beach communities to dense commercial intersections with high pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
