History

Since 1985

Joyce Crane got its start in heavy duty lifting on the ground floor in 1985 as a small, family-owned business, operating with a single crane. The company, founded by Joe Bob Joyce and headquartered in Longview, Texas, originally began as Joyce Steel Erection Ltd.

In the first ten years of our operation, we saw our staff increase to 40 and our fleet of cranes to 15. It was during this time that the company went through a strategic realignment to move away from steel erection services and focus on cranes and rigging as our core business. Joyce Crane continued to grow for the next two decades and expand to better serve the company's developing customer base with the addition of four new terminals in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

In 2019, Joyce Crane was acquired by Marmon Crane Services, Inc. The company continues to operate under the Joyce Crane name, leadership, and brand, and remain committed to our mission, customers, and efforts to achieve new heights in safety and service. We are also committed to the communities where we live and do business.
