Crane & Timber Inc. is a Manitoba crane company offering innovative hoisting solutions.
Ben & Ashley Rawluk started Crane & Timber in 2020. They saw an opportunity to provide new hoisting services using articulating boom cranes - also known as knuckle boom cranes. These cranes have much greater maneuvrability compared with traditional boom trucks.
The versatility of a knuckle boom crane lets Crane & Timber offer an efficient service, with the ability to use one truck to both haul materials to a site and to hoist it into place. This saves Crane & Timber’s clients on their overall costs, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Crane & Timber has travelled over most of Manitoba, north-western Ontario and into eastern Saskatchewan. We go where your job requires.

The design of knuckle boom cranes also allows Crane & Timber to hoist and move loads with a flat or negative angle boom. This unique ability broadens the range we can offer clients, with growing demand to move heavy equipment or materials inside an existing building.
