Padgett
Thank you guys so much for your outstanding service, we always enjoy working with your team - Nick Davis - Form G Companies. I have had to reach out to Aaron on more than one occasion with a customer of ours in a pinch with an HVAC unit that showed up or something of that nature and needing rigging quickly.

Aaron has always been able to pull some strings and get me a crane so that my guys can go over and help our customers. We like using Padgett for reasons like this and will continue to use Padgett for upcoming projects and rigging needs - Dave Gater, Jr. - Comfort Systems. We offer complete turn-key services and single item relocation, and we can even dismantle, transport, and re-install your entire operation.
Services
Padgett, Inc. - your full-service crane rental, machinery moving, rigging, steel fabrication and erection company - was founded in 1962 by Jim Padgett. Jim opened his first shop in New Albany, Indiana at West 5th & Main Streets in a 25' x 50' welding shop with one truck and one welder. Jim soon expanded Padgett, Inc. into crane service by building his own boom truck.
Padgett, Inc. is here to serve you as a full-service company that provides crane rental, machinery moving, heavy rigging, steel fabrication and erection. In addition to our carefully chosen machinery, our high-quality products and our host of services, we're also committed to putting our customers first.
Need a lift? Padgett cranes never sleep! We are available 24/7/365. Call our dispatchers @ 1-800-347-3415. Our cranes are on the job within a 200 mile radius of Padgett's 50 plus acre facility in New Albany, Indiana, immediately adjacent to Louisville, Kentucky. Padgett's crane service is trusted by our region's top companies.
Our specialized equipment has moved equipment weighing as much as 350 Tons. But that's not all! We also are entrusted to safely move delicate, irreplaceable art and sculptures including the twelve Chinese Zodiac sculptures that are on the front lawn of The Speed Museum at The University of Louisville.
We offer complete turn-key services and single item relocation, and we can even dismantle, transport, and re-install your entire operation. Padgett has installed all of the machinery and equipment for the three original forging press lines at International Crankshaft Incorporated (ICI) in Georgetown Kentucky, the largest auto crankshaft forger in North America, with press capacities from 5,000 - 7,000 metric tons.

Padgett is by far the worst job I ever had.The management bosses have no respect for their workers.Scot Needler especially.

Padgett helped us out when we were in a huge pickle. We had a tractor-trailer stuck on the side of the road with product falling off his trailer due to poor loading, and the driver was more than 400 miles from both his shipper and his destination. Steve was able to put together a crew and a forklift at 4 pm on a Friday to help our driver out first thing Saturday morning and get him back on the road with a secured load.

Aaron and Paul in the crane shop are some of the best people I've talked to in quite a while. I do jobs all over the country- sometimes small, sometimes big, so I have a knack for judging how my experience is going to turn out pretty early on. It's refreshing to deal with good people every once in a blue moon. Thanks folks!
