The Capacity to Create

Our skilled staff can take an engineered approach to solving project challenges. Project solutions are created by a team of certified Professional Engineers and experienced craftsmen who partner to design, fabricate, and test virtually anything required for a project.

Building Our Own

Our capacity to design and fabricate is made possible in part by the in-house design and manufacturing of our own specialty crane line, VersaCrane™, with models ranging from 750 to 3,000 tons in capacity.

  • Our fabrication facilities total nearly 100,000 square feet.
  • The facilities are equipped with the tools needed such as a state-of-the-art robot welder, CNC tables, lathes, boring machines, radial drilling machines, cutting tables, saws, and multi-process welders.
  • 24-hour crews are available.
  • In addition to using our fabrication facilities to create custom project-specific solutions and VersaCranes™, we also use these facilities to create steel distribution systems, moment connection bridge ramps, temporary bridge systems, rigging, bolsters, and barge ramps, all of which will bring additional strength, efficiency, and safety to your project.

With these capabilities, we respond to client needs and provide faster service and quicker turnaround time, saving our clients time and money. When it comes to our business, we believe if it can be done, Deep South Crane & Rigging has the experience and the resources to do it best.

    Saddle Up: Customized Solutions Place Refinery Column with Care, Ease

    The Deep South team was tasked to receive, transport and set a 790,025-pound debutanizer. This specialized distillation column measures 174’-3” long with a 21’-3” diameter. The debutanizer was received from an ocean-going vessel at the Port of New Orleans. Once cleared through customs, the debutanizer was loaded on a barge and pushed to a roll-off site 8 hours upriver, and prepared for transport to the refinery.
