§ 01 On the Iron

We don't sell cranes.
We sell certainty.

Anybody can park iron in a yard. The job is showing up early, with the right operator, the right rigging, and a plan that survives first contact with the site.

CDH has spent two decades earning that reputation across the Gulf South — from refinery turnarounds in Lake Charles to steeple sets in Lafayette, from marine docks in New Orleans to petrochem expansions in Baytown.

When the schedule slips, we're the call you don't regret.

§ 04 Industries

Iron for
every trade.

Refineries to roofing crews. Marine docks to municipal projects. If it needs lifting, we've put a crane on it.

§ 05 Service Area

Yards across
the Gulf South.

Five operating yards mean shorter mobilization, lower freight, and a local crew that already knows your jobsite.

CDH had a 165-ton on our refinery turnaround at 4am after our other contractor no-showed. Operator was sharp, rigging was clean, finished the pick by lunch. They earned the next three jobs the same week.

We've used CDH for HVAC sets across a dozen commercial buildings in Lafayette. Every quote came in straight, every crane showed up early, every operator knew the job. That's worth a lot in this business.

Twenty-plus years in the marine industry — I've worked with every crane outfit on the Gulf. CDH is on the short list. Fair price, real safety culture, no excuses.

§ 06 Common questions

Crane rental,
straight answers.

What procurement teams, GCs, and refinery planners ask before they pick up the phone. Don't see your question? Call dispatch at 337.962.3999.

What size cranes does CDH Crane Rentals offer?

+

Our fleet runs from 15-ton boom trucks up to 500-ton hydraulic cranes, including rough-terrain, all-terrain, and crawler classes. We size each crane to the lift radius, pick weight, and jobsite footprint.

Do you provide a certified operator with the rental?

+

Yes. Every operated rental includes an NCCCO-certified operator. We also provide a signaler and rigging when the job calls for it. Bare rentals are available when you have your own certified crew.

What's the difference between an operated and a bare crane rental?

+

Operated rental includes a CDH operator, fuel, insurance, and ongoing maintenance. Bare rental delivers the crane only; the customer supplies a certified operator and assumes operational responsibility. Most refinery, marine, and commercial customers choose operated.

How far in advance should I book a crane?

+

Two to three weeks is ideal for planned lifts, especially anything 175 ton or larger. We also run 24/7 emergency dispatch for shutdowns, storm response, and same-day picks when capacity allows.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency crane service?

+

Yes. Our dispatch desk is staffed twenty-four hours for urgent lifts across Louisiana and East Texas, including refinery upsets, marine emergencies, and storm response.

Which cities and regions does CDH serve?

+

We operate from five yards: Lafayette (HQ), Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, New Orleans, and Baytown, TX. We routinely cover Houma, Morgan City, New Iberia, Sulphur, Westlake, Port Allen, Gonzales, LaPlace, Pasadena, Deer Park, and the wider Gulf South.

Are you insured and approved for refinery and petrochemical work?

+

Yes. CDH maintains current ISN, Avetta, and OSHA compliance, full general liability and equipment insurance, and a documented safety program built for refinery turnarounds and petrochemical expansions.

How do I get a quote?

+

Call dispatch at 337-962-3999, email office@cdhrentals.com, or submit the dispatch form on this page with the lift weight, radius, date, and jobsite. Most quotes come back the same business day.

§ 07 Ready to Lift

Pick up the
phone. We're up.

Dispatch staffed twenty-four hours. Quotes are handled by the operations team during business hours, with after-hours support for urgent lifts across the Gulf South.
