About

Burt Crane & Rigging traces its history back five generations to 1870 in the slate quarries in the Vermont-New York region.

With each project, staff are committed to quality assurance, from planning to safely executing projects on time. In 2014, BURT received certification as a New York State Woman Owned Business Enterprise.

Headquartered in New York’s Capital region, Burt Crane & Rigging remains a tight-knit team leading upwards of 150 employees annually. The company houses a large fleet of advanced equipment and offers the best of project management, personnel, and industry technology.
