Oldham Crane Service, Inc., founded in 1928 by Jay F. Oldham, is a third-generation family-owned business located in Eugene, Oregon. Initially focused on hauling commodities such as potatoes and Christmas trees, the company transitioned to heavy hauling and crane services as demand grew. During World War II, Jay F. Oldham's equipment was utilized for land clearing to support the war effort, but after the war, a shift towards crane operations marked the company's focus on lifting services, spurred by commercial growth and infrastructure developments.
In 1954, Jay's son, Wayne Oldham, joined the company, expanding the heavy hauling division while Jay concentrated on crane operations. Following Jay's passing in 1983, his grandson John Oldham took on a role in the family business, ensuring the legacy continued into the third generation. Oldham Crane Service has modernized its fleet over the years, adapting to advancements in technology and equipment to meet the evolving needs of clients.
Today, Oldham Crane Service is recognized as the largest crane rental company in the Eugene-Springfield area, offering a fleet capable of handling cranes with lifting capacities from 14 tons to 250 tons. The company proudly provides operated crane rental services, pile driving, and heavy hauling to a diverse client base across Oregon. Known for its professionalism, experience, and commitment to safety, Oldham Crane Service has established a reputation driven by quality and reliability in every project it undertakes.
