Heavy Lift
The Capacity to Match the Extreme
With one of the most robust heavy lift fleets in the world, Deep South has the capacity to complete even the most complex projects. Ranked 9th in the world by International Cranes & Specialized Transport, we have a diverse group of heavy lift cranes, ranging from the 3,000T VersaCrane™ TC-36000/S2 workhorse to the new 1,760T Terex CC 8800-1 crawler crane. See how Deep South can reduce project downtime with one of our heavy lift cranes by calling or emailing us today.
Our Heavy Lift Fleet Includes:
- VersaCranes™ to 3,000T
- Crawler cranes to 1,400T
- Lattice boom and hydraulic truck cranes to 1,320T capacity
Heavy Lifting in Confined Areas
In a tight spot? The brilliance of the VersaCrane™ fleet is its ability to maintain high capacity while fitting in confined spaces and maintaining low ground bearing pressures. Our intricate knowledge of these cranes allows us to make job-specific crane modifications based on the needs of the job. And our ability to move VersaCranes™ via SPMTs saves time and money.
Deep South has a large fleet of equipment to allow the movement of vessels to wherever they need to be set, including VersaCranes™ to 3,000T, crawler cranes to 1,760T, truck cranes to 1,320T, and rigging hardware/specialty devices up to 1,600T. Deep South also has self-propelled modular transporters, over-the-road/dual-lane transport systems, towed hydraulic modular transporters, temporary bridge systems, levee crossing systems, lift towers, strand jacks, hydraulic gantries, hydraulic skid and hydraulic jacking systems, and marine and rail securement systems.
From our experienced engineers and project managers to our skilled craftsmen, riggers, and crane operators, Deep South's diligent pursuit of safety and innovation has provided our clients a path to on-time and successful projects. We can create lift plans or PE-stamped drawings and custom solutions as needed. Leaning on this expertise, coupled with a broad array of equipment, helps us to provide the absolute best in safety, service, and solutions. Whatever the project, the team at Deep South is ready to meet your challenge.

Southeast Petrochemical Turnaround
Supplying all cranes in two units during a petrochemical turnaround in the Southeast, Deep South supported the change out of old components and reinstallation of new components with 19 cranes working throughout the project.
Precarious Conditions on the Dock

Precarious Conditions on the Dock
Rail-traveling ship loaders are a familiar sight on the Gulf Coast (and around the world)—and they are essential to the efficient loading of bulk materials. Disruption to the operation of these massive machines directly affects productivity and the bottom line, as represented by one company's experience when wind from a severe storm knocked the machine off its rails, leaving it dangerously close to the edge of the dock.
Reconfigured for a Higher Load

Reconfigured for a Higher Load
During a planned outage, a petrochemical facility in Texas needed to replace a large tower head—measuring 54' L x 30' W x 30' H and weighing 280,000 pounds. Deep South Crane & Rigging selected a strategic setup location for its 2,500-ton VersaCrane TC-36000 to accommodate both the head lift and additional turnaround work. The lift was initially planned at 350,000 pounds, accounting for tray installation.
