About Us

Local People.
Real Equipment.

Rick's Crane Op Service has been lifting things in Fort Frances and Northwestern Ontario for over 20 years. We're not a big fleet company — we're a local family business that shows up, does the job right, and answers the phone.

We serve Fort Frances, Rainy River, Kenora, Dryden, and surrounding communities. Our fleet covers everything from a 60-ton crane for heavy industrial work down to a 3.5-ton Spider Crane that fits through a 36″ gate. Residential, commercial, or industrial — if it needs to be lifted, we can lift it.
