About Us
In 1969 Imperial Crane Services started with a single crane; owned and operated by the late John Bohne. Today the family run business has become the largest locally owned full service crane company in the Midwest.
Purchasing and hiring more cranes and operators, Imperial quickly outgrew our first office moving to our current location in Bridgeview, IL. Sticking to our roots, we continued to cater to daily construction while expanding into refinery work in 1979. Long term partnerships with CITGO Petroleum
In 1995 Imperial Crane Sales, a division of Imperial Crane Services was created. We now had the capability of renting, buying and selling cranes. As we continued growing and a second location was needed, Imperial expanded into Northwest Indiana. Today our Griffith, Indiana location allows customers accessibility to the local market, saving both time and money.
The one time single crane business has more than doubled in the last four years alone and is a dealer for Tadano, STROS, and Barko, as well as the new line of Sany crawler cranes ranging from 50 tons to 1000 tons.
