About

Allingham Corporation

Founded in 1940, Allingham Corporation has established itself as the most reputable and dependable source for crane and air compressor rentals through metro Detroit and surrounding areas. We were founded on a vision, strong business principles, two pieces of equipment, and four employees. The vision was that the future pointed to a need for mobile cranes that could move over streets and highways on rubber tires to solve lifting and material handling problems. The business principle was that a company could prosper if it made a policy of delivering the best possible service at the most economical price.

Our vision was accurate, and our principals held strong. Today we have over 150 cranes and air compressors in our fleet. We are the largest privately owned company in the United States that specializes only in the rental of cranes and air compressors. We operate out of a 15,000 sq. ft. service facility and 2,000 sq. ft. parts department. Call us old fashioned, but we still believe a smile and a handshake are the best ways to do business.
