Common Sense Crane Co. was founded by Joseph Otto and Michael Probst, bringing together more than 30 years of combined experience in the overhead crane and hoist industry.

We are the new generation of crane service—combining decades of hands-on industry knowledge with a modern, customer-focused approach. Our experience spans a wide range of overhead bridge crane and hoist applications, including rigging equipment, industrial facilities, aerospace, ammunition handling, refineries, and entertainment.

We understand that every operation is different. That’s why we take the time to understand our customers, their equipment, and the demands of their application. As a new company, we have the opportunity to provide something that can get lost in a larger organization: a more personal, responsive, and hands-on experience.

At Common Sense Crane Co., we believe quality crane service starts with common sense, experience, and treating every customer like a partner.

Experienced professionals. Personal service. Common sense solutions.
