    Good equipment but pricey

    Rented a mobile crane for a week. The machine ran perfectly and Dave ensured we had all the safety paperwork. A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    Highly reliable heavy equipment

    Used their crane services for our commercial site. The rig was clean, high-performance, and the operator was absolute pro. Definitely my go-to for rental needs.

    Reliable cranes every single time

    Can’t recommend them enough. The crane we rented was in pristine condition and the communication throughout the rental period was spot on. Professional outfit.

    Top notch performance

    Excellent service all around. Our operator, Mike, was highly skilled and made a difficult job look easy. Will absolutely be back for our next project.

    Professional and safe operators

    Had a great experience hiring a crane operator for our construction job. Carlos was incredibly professional and careful around our tight site layout. Highly recommend.

    Fast response for our project

    Needed an emergency lift last week and the team came through. Their logistics department is impressive. Everything was set up and running in record time.

    Mixed feelings on the service

    The crane itself was fine and performed well, but the billing department was disorganized and it took several calls to get our invoice corrected correctly.

    Top notch heavy equipment rental

    Total waste of time

    Reserved a crane weeks ago and nobody showed up on the scheduled day. When I called, they claimed it was a dispatch error. Unreliable and unprofessional.

    Professional equipment rental

    They handled our needs quickly. The crane was reliable for our roofing project and the staff was friendly. Would rent from them again without hesitation.

    Solid crane rental for our site

    The team at Sims got our crane rental sorted out fast. Mark was great to work with, though we had a slight delay in the drop-off time on Monday morning.

    Best crane service in Tampa

    Sims never lets us down. Needed a heavy-duty lift for our project and they delivered exactly what we needed ahead of schedule. Excellent service from start to finish.

    Good team and equipment

    Very happy with the rental. The only reason for 4 stars is that the initial paperwork took a bit longer than expected to process on-site.
