Houston‑based CraneWorks partners with Hammar Lift to install, service, and support world‑class Sideloader equipment in the United States.
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CraneWorks, a leading provider of heavy lifting solutions in North America, announced today a strategic partnership with Hammar Lift Inc, the U.S. division of Hammar, global leader in Sideloader trailers and superstructures. Under the agreement, CraneWorks will serve as the U.S. installation, service, and parts support partner for Hammar Sideloaders, helping bring the company’s advanced “smart and simple” container‑handling and heavy lift solutions to a wider audience through CraneWorks’ nationwide network. In October 2023, CraneWorks partnered with and received an investment from Equity Group Investments, the private investment firm founded by Sam Zell.
“We’re excited to join forces with Hammar Lift because their best‑in‑class Sideloader technology complements our goal of expanding lifting solutions beyond traditional crane models and into broader logistics, transport, and specialized lifting applications,” said Mike Evans, President & COO of CraneWorks. “This partnership allows us to help provide a versatile, efficient, and safe product line that aligns with our values of reliability, performance, and service.”
Hammar brings more than 50 years of innovation and has delivered Sideloaders to over 125 countries worldwide. A Hammar Sideloader combines two hydraulic sideloading cranes with a semi-trailer or truck, enabling efficient handling and transport of containers, flat racks, and more. Key capabilities include high lifting capacities, container stacking, and transfer of units on and off other vehicles. The machine is operated by a single person, is easy to learn, and is equipped with a comprehensive safety system.
“Joining with CraneWorks is a key step in broadening our footprint in the United States,” said David Gustafsson, Vice President, Hammar Lift Inc. “CraneWorks’ nationwide service network, heavy‑equipment expertise, and customer‑first culture make them an ideal partner for supporting our Sideloader solutions in the U.S. marketplace.”
The partnership will begin with U.S. installations, service support, and localized parts supply to support Hammar equipment nationwide.
