Who We Are

Founded in 1946 with just one crane

When Jim Bragg bought his first crane in 1946, he could not have imagined where his company would be today. Still a family-run business, Bragg Companies has grown into one of the largest integrated service crane companies in the construction industry.

We will out-service our competition by providing competent personnel and superior equipment to reliably complete every project safely, timely and cost-effectively. Our steadfast commitment to safety, quality, and service will guarantee that we are our customers' first choice.
