TEXAS CRANE SERVICES was founded in 1976. It is the oldest and largest crane rental service in San Antonio and Austin. The company’s main business activities are providing crane services fully manned and maintained as well as bare rental and crane sales. TEXAS CRANE SERVICES has offices in San Antonio and Austin and serves the Central and South Texas region.

TEXAS CRANE SERVICES was founded as H & H Crane Service. In November of 1992 the company was purchased by a local San Antonio owner. In July of 1995 the name of the company was changed from H & H Crane Service to TEXAS CRANE SERVICES. This name change was done to enhance the company’s image and position it to serve a broader market. Soon after this name change the company underwent a number of upper management changes that resulted in a significant increase in sales. In July of 1996 TEXAS CRANE SERVICES purchased Capital Cranes in Austin from Faulkner Construction Company. This purchase gave it a much stronger presence in Austin. The purchase of Capital Cranes helped boost sales in the Austin rental market. In this same year additions were made to the company’s sales force that lead to a further broadening of its customer base. This again had a positive impact on the company’s sales.

In a continuing effort to further the company’s long term strategy of broadening its geographical market and its customer base, in 1999 TEXAS CRANE SERVICES entered into the Tower Crane rental and sales market. This venture was a positive move. In 2005 because of market changes and competitive pressures the company divested itself of the tower crane fleet and redirected its efforts towards its core market, the maintained and operated crane rental business.
