🎄 A centerpiece of Duluth’s holiday season is officially in place. Every year, volunteers from Ironworkers Local 512, the Bentleyville team, and partners across the community come together to assemble this incredible tradition. With 17 tons of steel, 150,000 LED lights, and three 40-foot sections lifted into place, this marks the 16th year of the 128-foot Bentleyville Tree installation. Barnhart is honored to support a tradition that brings joy to thousands each year. ✨ Bentleyville runs now–Dec 27 and is America’s Largest Free Walk-Through Lighting Display — and a four-time USA TODAY Best Public Holiday Lights winner. 📸Photos 1-2 by Bentleyville | Photo 3 Schauer Photo Images

At Barnhart, our greatest strength is our people. Ahead of Thanksgiving, team members from branches across the country shared what they’re most grateful for: family, health, faith, opportunity, and the chance to do meaningful work together. As you head into the holiday, we wish you rest, connection, and time with the people who matter most. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Barnhart.

A rare perspective from Ichabod’s Crow’s Nest. Not many get to see the jobsite from this height—take a look at the view from the top. Learn more about Ichabod here: https://ow.ly/EKq650XuGFY #Barnhart #HeavyLift #CraneService #Storage #Cargo #Memphis

Teamwork, planning, and a whole lot of iron in motion! 🚚🚨 Our crew successfully moved a Demethanizer Tower measuring 77.64 m long, 7.92 m high, and 6.5 m wide, a total transport weight of 529,600 kg riding on 352 tires. Using our gantry system, SPMTs, and three cranes, the tower was transferred onto highway trailers and hauled 745 km over 7 days to reach its final destination. Proud of our team and partners for getting this one across the line safely. Heavy haul at its best! 💻 Visit: barnhartcrane.com 🏗️ Minds Over Matter 🇨🇦 Servicing Canada & USA 🇺🇸 Barnhart Crane & Rigging Thermo Design Engineering Ltd Wolf Midstream

Tonight, we achieved a huge milestone for the BB6 / Seattle House project: the tower crane is officially 100% off the site. It was performed safely and without any injury or issue. Removing a tower crane is no easy feat. In no particular order, thank you to Northwest Tower Cranes, Barnhart Crane & Rigging, Leavitt Machinery, and MAYFIELD'S HOISTING SERVICE, INC. I realize that just listing a company does not do justice to all the individuals who worked incredibly hard for 10 straight days to make this happen (if I listed everyone I'd be afraid to leave someone out). Your crews did an absolutely outstanding job. Could not have asked for more. From myself, Rambo, and everyone at Largo Concrete, Inc., "thank you" does not do enough. But not sure what else to say. On a lighter note... For as rough and tough as the industry may seem, nothing will bring a bigger smile to a worker's face then when they get to share what they do with a child. Over the past 3+ years there is a child, who lives near the site, who has watched almost every minute of the project (and collected almost every vest, hard hat, and sticker he can!). They've watched with delight as the building grew taller and taller. Before the cab of the crane was removed from the site, our little neighbor got to finally sit in the cab of the crane. The smile of their face went from ear to ear. I don't know if the child or the crew had a bigger smile. Just a super cool moment to be a part of.

Representatives from Orano USA, Barnhart Crane & Rigging, EnergySolutions, UCOR, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Omega Technical Services and Roane State Community College all came together to share a common goal for keeping our workforce strong. #nuclearishere ☢️ 💪

The Rawlings Gold Glove is officially in place on top of Rawlings Sporting Goods Headquarters at Westport Plaza. Using our 900-ton LTM1750 crane, our St. Louis and Ladd teams at Barnhart Crane - MDW hoisted the 30-ft, 35,000-lb glove that will anchor the new Rawlings Experience STL and add a golden highlight to the city skyline. Thank you to Rawlings for the partnership and recognition of this grand-slam lift.

Dual lift complete in Marissa, IL. Our Madison branch utilized Barnhart's 275-ton and 350-ton AT cranes to install a stacker. The project required detailed lift planning and coordination between both operators and crews to ensure a safe and efficient setup. 📞 Connect with our Madison branch at (618) 451-6171 or visit their website: https://ow.ly/LIhM50Xt5vF #Barnhart #Illinois #HeavyLift #CraneServices
