Cranemasters: First Responders for the Railroad Industry
- Winter 2024
- Mark Coressel
When Loren Isringhausen started his business with the help of his sons Brian and Barry, he wanted to create a different kind of railroad service company.
Loren’s strategy was straight-forward:
When competitors say it can’t be done, Cranemasters will find a way!
And they do.
Cranemasters became the only railroad services provider to also design and manufacture the equipment needed to solve the most difficult derailment and maintenance issues. Building on this commitment to innovation, unrelenting service, and industry-leading response times, Brian and Barry Isringhausen took Cranemasters to a new level.
This industry game-changing business model grew Cranemasters from its start as a small family business into a multi-state business with 254 employees working from 13 U.S. locations.
Cranemasters’ unique story was recently highlighted in Manufacturing in Focus magazine’s article “First Responders for the Railroad Industry.” You can read it online here.
