Frank Berlin
Owner + Certified Operator
26 years of experience
In 1994 Frank started his career as a crane operator. Working for his father-in-law's company, JJ Crane Service, is where he learned to run a wide variety of mobile cranes. Frank started his own business in 2005. He bought his first crane, a 35 ton Terex. Being the only operator gave Frank the opportunity to be very involved and focused on each job and develop great relationships with his customers which he has maintained over the years. With booming business, pun intended, Frank bought a brand new 22 ton Manitex and hired his daughter Dallas, an NCCCO operator, to run it. This crane is smaller and can fit in tight areas where most cranes cannot. Now we're able to accommodate more for our customers. Call Frank today if you have any questions about the services we provide. Frank can let you know which crane would be best for your job and give you a quote.
Dallas Berlin
Certified Operator
I guess you could say Dallas has a lifetime of experience having grown up around cranes whether it was in the office with her mom or going to jobs with her dad and grandpa. After high school is when Dallas officially began working in the office full time for her grandfathers company, JJ Crane Service. After taking on the responsibility of answering phone calls, scheduling jobs, and other admin roles she quickly decided she would rather run a crane herself. Dallas got her certification and started working full time as a crane operator here at Frank Berlin Crane in 2017. You can catch her now operating our 22 ton Manitex, a pink one of course!
SCHEDULING
Our scheduling coordinator, Kelli, is ready to get you on the books! It is best to book your job a few days out to ensure your desired time will be available, although if you need our services last minute we will do our best to fit you in ASAP. We will need to know the measurements and weight of the lift. Please inspect ground conditions prior to ensure there is firm level ground and a safe area for the crane to set up. Things to look out for: power lines dangerously close, trees in the way, or any underground utilities. Consider weather conditions as well, we are unable to operate with lightning in the proximity.
Our cranes come equipped with straps and shackles. If you need anything additional, for example: spreader bar, man-basket, trash box, or any extra rigging be sure to request it when scheduling your job. An extra fee for these items may apply. Our customers are responsible for all items below the crane hook which includes rigging up the load and signaling the operator. According to OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1428 & OSHA 1926.1401 all rigger and signal persons shall be certified prior to start of any and all operations. If you need a rigger or signal person for the job, please arrange for one when scheduling. An extra fee for rigger/signal person will apply. Please have a check or credit card at the time of the job.
Any questions you have we will be happy to answer. Call, text, or email us anytime. We hope you choose us for your next lift.
