Ricks Crane Service LLC

Rick's Crane Service LLC operates from Norton, Ohio, serving the greater Akron metro area including Summit and Wayne counties with 24/7 crane solutions for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Owner-operator Rick Davenport brings 20 years of industry experience to every lift, backed by NCCER certification and OSHA recognition, credentials that place his team among the most qualified crane operators in Northeast Ohio. The company maintains a fleet capable of handling 38-ton loads, and with 53 five-star reviews from verified clients, the track record speaks for itself.

What distinguishes Rick's Crane Service is the direct involvement of a seasoned operator on every job, not a rotating crew. The company specializes in technically demanding lifts including oversized trees requiring selective dismantling and rooftop extraction, delicate historical stone placement on century-old structures, and HVAC unit rooftop installs where building access poses challenges. For specialty projects involving pools, boats, or uniquely configured loads, their experience with custom rigging solutions proves invaluable. Every operators carries the NCCER certification, meaning clients receive work that meets national craft skill standards.

Customer scenarios from recent reviews reveal the practical value of this team's approach. For Megan McQuaide's residence, Rick executed a complex tree removal lifting massive sections over her home when conventional ground-based removal risked property damage, a job requiring seamless communication with the tree service crew. In Chagrin Falls, Rick hoisted a historically significant stone over an 1873 colonial house and placed it 300 feet away on an old chimney during windy conditions, demonstrating the precision that justifies his five-star reputation. A weekly collaborator, Matt B. of B's Tree Service, specifically notes Rick's reliability and the trust built through consistent emergency availability.
