Custom Fabricated Fixtures

  • Purpose-built lifting tools for unique or sensitive equipment
  • Includes prototyping, fabrication, and testing for safety and compliance

Advisory and Sourcing

FAQ

Do you design and engineer custom lifting devices in-house?

Yes. Our licensed professional engineers design and stamp lifting devices to meet the standards of the Navy, DOD, and industry for safety and compliance.

Can you fabricate and test custom lifting fixtures?

Absolutely. We fabricate custom-built devices when off-the-shelf solutions are not suitable, and we perform testing and validation to ensure safety and compliance.

What if a commercial product already exists for my lifting need?

We’ll recommend it. Our goal isn’t to sell unnecessary custom work—if an off-the-shelf solution fits, we’ll help you source it to save time and cost.

Do you only work with Navy and military lifting needs?

While much of our work is with Navy and DOD programs, we can support virtually any organization needing high-compliance lifting solutions.

Why should I choose Craneworks for custom lifting applications?

We combine deep government/DOD expertise, in-house engineering capability, and a practical approach that balances custom design with cost-effective commercial solutions.
