  • We have a large fleet of rough terrain cranes to accomplish this routine maintenance.
  • Our skilled truck drivers can shift equipment as needed and perform any in-plant trucking.
  • We often aid in advanced turnaround planning and day-to-day lift planning services.
  • We have highly-skilled and trained union labor.
  • We are familiar with and often work in the TRACK system.

    Maintenance Equipment Highlight:

    Tadano GR-1600XL is a maintenance game changer. It has 200’ of main boom and 59’ of jib while maintaining more capacity than a 150-ton truck crane. Its overall low height navigates common low clearances in industrial facilities.

    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.

    A Flare for Efficiency

    Routine maintenance plant turnarounds are typically anything but straightforward—as a turnaround in the Southeast quickly demonstrated. The effort called for the removal and replacement of three exchangers, as well as a flare modular replacement. The size and location of the exchangers, the tight window for replacement of the flare, and localized high working-wind speeds were a few of the top challenges that the Deep South team were tasked to overcome.

    A High Lift for Health

    A High Lift for Health

    As part of an HVAC system upgrade, a client needed to place a new industrial-size, 25,000-pound chiller onto the roof of its multi-story medical facility. Located in a congested urban environment, the challenges ranged from limited space to set up cranes and associated support equipment to a requirement that trees along the roadway were not to be disturbed. Also, the road and medical facility had to remain open throughout the effort.
