How it all started...

Joyce Steel Erection, Ltd. began in 1985 in the steel erection and crane rental industry. In 1991, Joyce Steel discontinued working in the steel erection arena to focus on crane and rigging services; and, in 1995 services offered in these basic areas were reorganized to do business under the name of Joyce Crane.

Today, Joyce Crane is over 100 employees strong. Our cranes provide a variety of services that range from new construction to plant maintenance in the power, chemical, coal and natural gas industries, just to name a few. With this diversity, we have the ability to help you size a crane and plan a strategy for accomplishing a cost effective, safe, and complete lift and rigging for any situation. Our manned and maintained operated fleet consists of 40 ton motor cranes up to 800 ton cranes. For a complete list of equipment available to you, you may contact us at 903-757-3061 or 1-800-443-8575 or reference the Equipment section of our website.
