History On Rent-A-Crane

Thomas B. FitzGerald started Arlington Iron Works, Inc. in 1948, and as the company grew, they acquired cranes to “hang iron”. When local construction companies asked to rent those cranes, Thomas and his three sons, Barnes, Donald and Jimmy saw an opportunity.

In 1957, Rent-A-Crane started renting cranes to the general public, and by 1958 the company was incorporated to become Rent-A-Crane, Inc. Since then, we have grown into the professional, customer-oriented company that we are today.

The Rent-A-Crane, Inc. philosophy is oriented toward minimization of risks. Our success and yours depends on how well each job is performed.
