Deep South Crane & Rigging started as an industrial construction company in the 1960s. RT Crane equipment was a necessity and, occasionally, Deep South would rent this machinery to its customers. Soon, things started looking up — literally. With the purchase of additional equipment, demand for larger capacity cranes began to grow and, in 1981, Deep South fully committed to the heavy lift and heavy haul business by investing in our first TC-1200 Demag and hydraulic transporters.

By the late ’80s, demand for cranes exceeding 1,000-ton capacity began to increase and Deep South found that most of the cranes manufactured in the United States could not do the job. Company representatives sought equipment across the Atlantic, but European cranes were too heavy and did not meet US DOTD highway transportation restrictions.

Finally, calling upon Deep South's years of experience and intricate knowledge of the crane and rigging industry, the company set out to design and manufacture its own crane. History was made in 1993 when our first VersaCrane™ was unveiled. Specifically made to work in petrochemical facilities and other areas with restricted space, this technology marvel stands as a true innovation in the crane and rigging world.
