Hohenshilt Crane

David E. Hohenshilt started a small welding company in March 1971. Originally it was operated as one of the Lehigh Valley areas first mobile welding services. Later the business evolved into a steel fabricating and erecting company. Then subsequently a corporation known as Dave Hohenshilt Welding, Inc. was formed.

Crane Rental Service

In 1990, the business purchased its first mobile hydraulic truck crane to accommodate the growing steel erecting demand in the Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and surrounding Lehigh Valley area. The crane was a 15 ton JLG crane purchased to do a steel erecting job. After that job was completed, we noticed the trend was for businesses to rent the cranes they used for completing their jobs; hence, the next logical step was for us to rent our crane to them.

As the evolving crane company grew, we purchased a second crane to meet the needs of our customers and so on. In 1997, David E. Hohenshilt, Inc. was created, as the crane rental business was growing.
