Custom Solutions
We Can Design, Build, and Test Specialized Lifting and Transport Equipment to Meet the Needs of Your Project
Our work typically presents us with many challenges. We can tackle these challenges through our creative engineering and extensive fabrication capabilities. Quality is assured through many methods including finite element analysis, computer modeling and analysis, non-destructive testing, proof loading, and pull-testing.
Examples of our solutions to tough project challenges include:
- River levee crossing bridge (capacity >1,000 tons)
- Bridge jumpers through 100’ span
- Hydraulic jacking, skidding, and gantry systems
- Lift towers and strand jacks
- Low-profile, inverted saddle systems (for minimizing transport height)
- Hydraulic adjustable spreader bars and lift beams

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
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.
