Professional Crane Service. Certified Operators. The Right Lift for the Job.
Shaw Crane Service provides professional, operator-assisted crane services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects throughout Cape May County and Southern New Jersey — proudly since 1985.
Every lift is performed by a CCO-certified operator, and every job starts with matching the right machine to your load, reach, and site — from a compact Spyder Crane that fits through a doorway to a 115-ton all-terrain crane.

Tight-access & indoor lifts

Equipment: UNIC URW-295 Spydercrane
Work at height
Sign and lighting installation, building exteriors, and rooftop access — with a 70-foot aerial platform that can also lift materials to the crew.

Specialized lifting
Odd-shaped, heavy, or high-value loads, limited staging areas, and lifts that need careful planning. Tell us the challenge — we’ll recommend the right approach.

Safety on every lift
All Shaw Crane Service crane operators are CCO certified through the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO).
Our commitment goes beyond certification. Before every lift, we consider:
- The equipment and its load chart for your exact setup
- Load weight and working radius
- Ground and floor conditions
- Site access and setup space
- Overhead obstructions and the surrounding environment
Preparation, communication, and attention to detail are just as important as the lifting equipment itself — whether we’re setting a single beam or coordinating a more involved construction lift.
Planning a lift?
To help us recommend the right crane and give you an accurate quote, please provide:
- Project address and preferred lifting date
- Approximate weight and dimensions of the load
- Required lifting height and horizontal distance
- Available crane setup area and site access
