About
The company traces its history to 1929, when it opened as “Hampton’s Garage” providing auto repair in Nashville. According to the company, “Since opening our doors in 1929, Hampton Crane, Inc. has evolved to meet, and stay ahead of, our customers’ heavy lifting, crane, and machinery moving needs.” Over the decades it expanded its lifting capacity, reaching 600 tons in the 1980s and doubling to 1,200 tons in the 1990s. Hampton Crane is family-owned, and Lance Carney became the third-generation owner in June 2013 as the grandson of the original founder. In March 2020 the company relocated to a 30,000 square foot facility following tornado damage to its previous location. Stated operating principles include Safety, Transparency, On Time and On Budget, Capability, a Highly Skilled Team, and Minimal Downtime. The company indicates that its operators and technicians are certified and that it follows OSHA standards.
