Prairie Crane Inc. has been part of the crane industry for several decades, founded with a single goal: to build a crane company that delivers quality in every aspect of its work. That commitment produced the most diverse crane fleet in Saskatchewan and a track record of efficient, safety-first operations across Western Canada.
In 2016, Prairie Crane built and moved into a 15,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility on 6.5 acres in Saskatoon's BizHub, providing space for daily crane operations, equipment storage, and hands-on workforce training.
Prairie Crane's Saskatoon BizHub location supports both daily operations and active workforce development.
Operators undergo evaluations and competency tests on every piece of equipment they run, a training standard that goes beyond industry minimums. Local training programs regularly utilize Prairie Crane's yard, equipment, and operator expertise to develop the next generation of crane professionals.
Prairie Crane is qualified to enter all job sites in Saskatchewan, including active mine sites.
The company has a full Health and Safety Program, is COR Certified, and maintains an 'A' rating on ISNetworld, meeting all third-party contractor requirements for the province's most demanding industrial and mining operators.
Prairie Crane maintains a workforce that is approximately 20% Indigenous and 50% female, reflecting a genuine commitment to diversity. Prairie Crane has a partnership with Willow Cree Development Corporation of Beardy's & Okemasis' Cree Nation, along with PW Crane Services, a 51% Indigenous-owned company.
In the community, Prairie Crane donates to the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital, the Saskatchewan Kinsmen Club, and B'nai Brith Lodge 739, and provides services to organizations including Habitat for Humanity.
Prairie Crane was featured in Crane & Hoist Canada magazine in March 2021, highlighting the company's operations, fleet, and work across Western Canada.
