Built for Safe, High-Stakes Lifts Across B.C.

We deliver safe, reliable, efficient lifting solutions for residential towers, commercial builds, and municipal infrastructure projects.

A Trusted Name, Built on Vancouver Island Standards

MR Crane was founded by Mike Calabrese and grew from a family-run operation into one of the region’s most trusted lifting partners. Rooted in Vancouver Island, we also serve the Lower Mainland and Kelowna with the same standard of planning, service, and safety.

One Provider. One Plan. Less Risk.

Most companies offer tower and hoist services, or mobile crane services. MR Crane delivers both. That matters because we can mobilize, operate, and demobilize tower and hoist cranes with our own mobile fleet. Fewer handoffs. Fewer contractors. Lower risk. Cleaner scheduling.

Mission

Our mission is to deliver safe, reliable, and efficient crane and hoist solutions that simplify construction projects for clients while supporting the growth of British Columbia’s communities. Through integrated services and a skilled workforce, our company provides end-to-end lifting solutions that reduce risk and deliver value.

Vision

Be the most trusted and respected crane and hoist provider in British Columbia, known for our one-stop-shop service model, safety, and long-standing relationships across the business community.
