D&S Hoist and Crane, a Crane 1 Branch is a family company that has been providing comprehensive lifting solutions to businesses in the tri-state area and beyond for three decades. Founded in 1998 by Del Celaschi and his son, Steve, we have grown to serve a wide range of industries, and we are proud to be a part of Crane 1 Services

Serving the Mid-Atlantic Since 1998.

When we first opened our doors in 1998, we were called D&S Industrial Contracting. We were founded as a full-service overhead crane company to manufacture, repair, and rebuild all types of overhead cranes and components. From blocks, trolleys, end trucks, wheel assemblies, and gear boxes to complete lifting devices solutions, we have specialized in building, fabricating and sourcing the overhead lifting equipment that businesses need to succeed. During our first year of operation, we added OSHA-required inspections to our suite of services and opened a fasteners division to provide concierge-style stockroom sourcing to area businesses.

A Branch of Crane 1.

In 2022, D&S Industrial Contracting became a branch of Crane 1, and is now part of a Crane 1 Services.
