In 1968, Deep South Crane & Rigging opened as a family owned and operated industrial electrical contractor. Rough terrain cranes were a necessity for most projects at the time and the company responded to the need by offering to rent this type of machinery to its clients. Soon after, Deep South began exclusively renting equipment to customers. With the growing demand for larger capacity cranes, Deep South fully committed to the heavy lift and heavy haul business by purchasing additional equipment as well as investing in their first 300-ton lattice boom crane and hydraulic transporters.
By the late 1980s, things were looking up. The demand for cranes exceeding 1,000-ton capacity began to increase; however, Deep South discovered that most high-capacity cranes manufactured in the United States could not handle the job at hand. Company representatives sought equipment across the Atlantic, but European cranes were too heavy and did not meet U.S. DOT’s highway transportation restrictions.
Determined to find a solution, Deep South called upon its years of expertise and intricate knowledge of the crane and rigging industry and set out to engineer and manufacture its own crane. History was made in 1993 when Deep South’s VersaCrane™ was unveiled. Specifically designed to work in petrochemical facilities and other areas with restricted space, this technological marvel stands as a true innovation in the crane and rigging world.
Today, Deep South is an international operation with sales offices and teams located strategically across both North and South America to provide world-class service to clients no matter their location.
