History of Pro Crane Rentals

Pro Crane Rentals grew into its own entity in 1999 by founder Ed Protesto due to a growing reputation originating from his father Bob Protesto from Upper Darby Sign co. (Pro Sign co.) originating in 1947. The “Pro” name has been lifting and rigging in the tristate area since the early 1980’s with growth and dedication only getting stronger. In 1999, our largest crane offered was a 1974 Grove TMS 300 (35 ton). Now we offer a variety of cranes up to a Liebherr LTM-1220 (265 Ton)!

Pro Crane Rentals is now entering into its 2nd generation. This generation is showing a strong will to expand in both Geographical area and Service size. Dedication and hard work still runs in the bloodline.

In 2021, Pro Crane & Rigging LLC acquired a 30-year-old crane company in the city of Lakeland, Florida. We kept all of the employees and added newer equipment from this location as they are a great addition to the family. Noticing that the crane service companies in the Florida area do not offer a lot of the services we offer at our Pennsylvania location, we added a storage depot service, two-hour quick pick service, and used equipment reclaiming and disposal service. The number one thing we bring to the table is building excellent full-service partnerships.
