At Carpenter Crane we truly believe that the heart and soul of our business is the customer. It is our goal to give each customer the individual attention to detail and commitment that they deserve. Here's what a few of our customers had to say:


"In 2003 the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum contracted Paull Carpenter to lift into place the museum's C-46. This twin-engine WWII transport aircraft weighs in at 30,000 lbs. and spans over 100 feet from wingtip to wingtip. No one who was there that day will ever forget the smoothness and precision with which Paull Carpenter operated that huge crane to place this large aircraft delicately onto its three mounting columns."

"In July 2004 we hired Paull Carpenter to remove and load on flatbed trucks, two large non-compliant helium tube trailers, and position in place a spanking new 15-pack cluster of helium tanks on the Cornell University campus. This work was conducted in a confined area, and required an experienced professional at the helm. It also required some very careful coordination to meet our goals. Everything came off perfectly, thanks mostly to Paull Carpenter and his crew. In short, we were very satisfied with their performance."

Stan Carpenter, Associate Director for Technical Services
Cornell University

"Paull Carpenter has always provided us with prompt, courteous service using the right crane for the job at a fair and reasonable price, and we plan on utilizing his services for many years in the future."

"Having known Paull Carpenter for 20 years, I can attest to the fact that he is certainly the “crane guy.” In the short line Railroad business one has the need occasionally for hoisting services. Sometimes these are fun projects like retrieving century-old wooden passenger cars from shopping malls to less pleasant tasks like rerailing hazmat freight cars. Precision is needed when disassembling and reassembling locomotive and car running gear components, often times with days between the events. Whatever the job, Paull handled it with sensitivity to all mechanical, political, financial and regulatory aspects."

"In 1989 our modular home was set on its foundation by Paull Carpenter and his crew. Paull took the time to explain how the process worked and how long it would take, trying to calm the nerves of a nervous new homeowner. His professionalism put us at ease. To this day when we look through the scrapbook of the beginnings of our new home we cherish the pictures of our smiling nephew sitting on the crane operator's lap after they'd completed the job. Kind, courteous, professional service with a smile; qualities that are hard to find today. I'd recommend Carpenter Crane service to anyone considering a new modular home, or any other crane services."

"We have personally worked with Paull Carpenter and his crane service for over 20 years. Paull is dependable and reliable when it comes to moving our equipment. Of the equipment we've moved in the past, most were extremely delicate with our computer controls; any jarring could have resulted in breakage or production down time. We have never experienced any damage to our products during any of the many moves Paull has executed for us. Paull has come to the rescue more than once when we had an emergency. He has helped us reduce our downtime during equipment moves and with his vast experience we moved the toughest of machines to new locations."
