Offshore Rental Cranes with Certified Operators
A rental crane is only as good as the crew and engineering behind it. DLS rents offshore cranes as a complete package: the crane, certified operators, qualified riggers, engineered lift plans and inspection programs — one contract covering the lift from plan to hook.
What we provide
Offshore rental cranes for platform maintenance campaigns, construction support and shutdown work across the Gulf, with certified crane operators and riggers included. Every unit runs under DLS's equipment inspection program, and critical lifts get engineered lift plans before the crane ever swings.
Liquid load testing
DLS uses a liquid load testing method for offshore rental cranes — water-filled test loads that verify crane capacity safely and precisely before the crane goes to work on your platform. It's a controlled, repeatable verification that protects your deck, your people and your schedule.
Rent vs. Own
For most operators, renting wins the math: maintenance, certification, inspection and operator costs shift to DLS, and the crane is on your books only for the days it works. That's why Gulf operators bring us in for maintenance seasons and shutdowns rather than carrying idle iron year-round.

FAQ
Does DLS rent offshore cranes with operators?
Yes. DLS rents offshore cranes with certified crane operators and qualified riggers included, supported by engineered lift plans and equipment inspection programs — one package covering the crane, the crew and the lift engineering.
How does DLS load-test its offshore rental cranes?

Is renting a crane more cost-effective than owning one?
For most operators, yes. Renting from DLS shifts maintenance, certification, inspection and operator costs to DLS, and the crane is only on your books for the days it works — which is why many Gulf operators rent for maintenance campaigns and shutdowns.
