Crane manufacturing in Houston built for industrial precision—engineered top-running, under-running, jib, and workstation cranes tailored to your facility.
In industrial facilities, reliable lifting equipment isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re hoisting heavy components in an oil and gas facility or operating a busy fabrication floor, your cranes need to be strong, safe, and built specifically for your operations. At Osborn Technical Services, we manufacture custom cranes in Houston that are engineered for your application, facility layout, and operational needs.
No two operations are the same, and that’s why we specialize in designing and fabricating overhead crane systems tailored to your specs—not off-the-shelf solutions that force your facility to adapt. With over 50 years of crane experience behind our leadership team, we ensure each crane system is safe, durable, and delivers smooth, efficient lifting—every time.
Every facility is different. You deserve a lifting system that performs at its best—because downtime and inefficiency cost more than you think. Our custom crane builds come with clear, measurable benefits:
Tailored Layouts: Designed for your space, process, and traffic patterns
Improved Safety: Built to exceed OSHA, ASME, and CMAA requirements
Faster Material Flow: Reduce transfer time and bottlenecks
Better Hook Coverage: Maximize reach without interfering with operations
Fewer Maintenance Issues: Built with quality materials and low-friction components
Longer Equipment Life: Engineered to last 20+ years with proper maintenance
We don’t just offer standard crane models—we build lifting solutions that integrate with your workflow, environment, and performance expectations. Explore the crane systems we manufacture right here in Texas:
Ideal for light to moderate lifting, our single girder top running cranes are a cost-effective solution without sacrificing strength or safety. Built using wide flange beams, these cranes are available in:
Capacities: 1 to 20 tons
Spans: Up to 65 ft (longer spans available upon request)
Applications: Warehouses, light fabrication, maintenance bays
Their low-maintenance design and top-rail configuration allow for efficient material handling without major floor space disruption.
When the job demands high-capacity lifting or extended spans, our double girder systems deliver. These cranes are engineered for heavier loads and more demanding duty cycles.
Capacities: 5 tons and up
Ideal for: Class D or F applications, high hook height requirements
Features: Load goes between the girders for higher lift clearance
Double girders are the go-to solution for industrial applications requiring frequent lifting, speed, and rugged reliability.
Perfect for facilities where ceiling height or structural constraints are a concern, our single girder under-running cranes travel along the underside of the runway beams.
Capacities: 1 to 20 tons
Spans: Up to 65 ft (custom spans available)
Benefits: Lower profile, flexible layouts, less building stress
These cranes are often used in manufacturing lines, maintenance facilities, and areas with restricted vertical clearance.
Workstation Cranes
For lighter-duty tasks and assembly-line operations, workstation cranes provide ergonomic material movement and precision positioning.
Capacities: 100 lbs to 4,000 lbs
Spans: Up to 30 ft
Mounting: Ceiling or floor
Options: Push-pull or motorized drives
These systems are perfect for repetitive lifting, improving operator safety and reducing fatigue.
Jib Cranes for Localized Lifting
Jib cranes are ideal for spot lifting in fixed locations, particularly near workbenches, docks, or loading stations.
Capacities: 100 lbs to 10,000 lbs
Boom Lengths: Up to 30 ft
Options: Base-mounted, wall-mounted, motorized, articulating
We fabricate multiple styles, including:
Base Mount Jib (BMJ)
Mast Cantilever Jib (MCJ)
Wall-Mounted Cantilever Jib (WCJ)
Wall-Mounted Tie Rod Jib (WBJ)

If your project requires custom crane fabrication or specialty lifting gear—chances are, we’ve done it before.
Founded in 2002 by industry veteran Vernon Osborn, Osborn Technical Services is a Texas-based engineering and fabrication company specializing in overhead cranes, fall protection systems, machine servicing, and custom manufacturing. Our work is trusted across petrochemical, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and warehousing industries.
Unlike mass manufacturers, we take a personal, hands-on approach to each project. Our long-term success is driven by quality, honesty, and service—and it shows in every crane we build.
From start to finish, your crane is built to exceed expectations. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Consultation & Assessment
We meet with you onsite or virtually to understand your facility layout, lifting needs, and constraints.
2. Engineering & CAD Design
Our engineers create a 3D model and load calculations to ensure proper function, compliance, and efficiency.
3. Fabrication & Assembly
Welding, machining, and fabrication are done at our Houston-area shop using the highest-grade materials.
4. Testing & Quality Assurance
Every crane undergoes rigorous testing to ensure performance, safety, and durability.
5. Delivery & Optional Installation
We coordinate logistics and, if needed, provide installation or support for third-party crews.
We build cranes for manufacturing, oil & gas, shipping, agriculture, chemical processing, and more.
Yes! We can provide installation support or coordinate with your preferred team during setup.
Absolutely. We provide crane inspections, preventative maintenance, and part repairs—even if we didn’t build your crane.
Most standard cranes take 6–8 weeks. Custom cranes may vary depending on complexity.
Yes. All cranes meet or exceed OSHA, CMAA, and ASME requirements.
If your operation depends on safe, efficient lifting, don’t settle for mass-produced options that aren’t built for your space. Let Osborn Technical Services design and fabricate a custom crane system that works as hard as you do.
