You Need an Expert to Handle Your Crane Project

With over 30 years experience in the field you can rely on our knowledge and skill to get the job done. Cranes are a family affair at DNJ Crane Service. Owner Don Raber was first exposed to cranes when he was just eight years old and his dad started his crane business. He gained years of experience working by his father’s side until 2004 when Don decided to open DNJ Crane Service. Naturally, Don’s son Jayson Raber joined the company and now works alongside his dad as a certified crane operator. Skylar Bragg is the Oiler; his job is to make sure the cranes stay maintained and in top working order so that they run efficiently on every project. To round out the team here at DNJ Crane Service are Nanci Raber and Molly Raber (Don’s wife and daughter) our professional and friendly office personnel.
