About Us

Baxter Crane and Rigging is a 100% Employee-owned business (ESOP) serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We have a full range of cranes and equipment from a 26-ton boom truck to a 300 ton all-terrain, as well as forklifts, tractor trailers, and specialized rigging gear. Baxter Cranes & Rigging is a service-driven crane and rigging company supporting commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. The company operates a diverse fleet ranging from fast-setup boom trucks to heavy all-terrain cranes, allowing them to handle everything from routine lifts to complex, planned work.

What sets Baxter apart is a focus on execution. Jobs are approached with planning, communication, and the right equipment for the site—not overcomplication. The team works closely with contractors, engineers, and site supervisors to align on lift requirements, safety expectations, and scheduling before work begins.

Baxter’s goal is simple: show up prepared, perform the lift safely, and keep projects moving without surprises.
