Train Repair & Derailment Lifts
Railroad Crane Rental. On Schedule, Safety First.
Patriot Lifting walks the rail site, confirms ground bearing along the right-of-way, and coordinates the lift window with the railroad and repair crews, from single railcar picks to tandem-crane locomotive lifts.
All-terrain cranes (80 to 275 tons) for locomotive and loaded railcar picks, including tandem multi-crane lifts.
Mobile and rough-terrain cranes for derailment response and track-side equipment sets.
Boom trucks for rail maintenance equipment, signals, and crossing components.
Railroads and Rail Contractors Across Georgia Work With Us
We work with railroads, rail contractors, and industrial facilities with rail spurs on locomotive repair lifts, railcar re-railing, and derailment recovery across Georgia.
Five service lines run in-house from the Jenkinsburg yard: operated crane rental, rigging, heavy hauling, specialty lifts, and secured storage. One dispatch line for all five, so the schedule and the equipment stay aligned across the job.
Standard dispatch covers metro Atlanta, the Henry / Spalding / Newton / Rockdale county belt around our Jenkinsburg yard, down I-75 to Macon, and east into the Athens market. Multi-state hauls extend coverage into Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina when the project calls for it.
Cranes from 15 to 275 tons across all-terrain, mobile, rough-terrain, boom truck, and carry deck categories. Every crane operated by our crew.
How a Locomotive Lift Works
Every rail pick starts with the site walk and the lift plan. A 134-ton locomotive does not move without confirmed load data, matched cranes, and a rehearsed sequence.
Site Walk
We confirm crane positioning along the right-of-way, ground bearing track-side, overhead clearances, and the swing path.
Pick Plan
Load weights confirmed, engineered rigging selected, and the multi-crane sequence agreed with the railroad and repair crew.
Mobilization
The cranes sized to the lift travel road-legal from Jenkinsburg. Outrigger pads sized to the ground.
The Lift
The crew runs a pre-lift brief, the operators make the tandem pick, and we stay on site until the unit is set and signed off.
Schedule a Rail Lift
Send the unit weight, site location, and target date. We will quote the cranes and lock in the schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions on Train Repair & Derailment
Common questions on Patriot Lifting rail crane work. Get in touch if you do not see your answer here.
Yes. We recently completed a multi-crane lift of a 134-ton locomotive that needed repair. Locomotive lifts run as engineered tandem picks with matched cranes, load-confirmed rigging, and a lift director on site.
Call dispatch at (770) 545-1333. For derailment response we can typically mobilize same-day or next-day from our Jenkinsburg yard, depending on crane size and route permits.
Yes. Engineered rigging is part of the lift plan: slings, spreader bars, and lift points rated for the unit. Tandem-crane coordination is planned before mobilization.
Yes. We coordinate the lift window with the railroad, position cranes clear of the active track, and follow the site's flagging and worker protection requirements.
Four Services Out Of One Yard
Most jobs come down to four service lines. We handle each in-house and dispatch from one location, which keeps the schedule, the crew, and the equipment aligned across the lift.
Operated Crane Rentals
for Every Lift
The operator runs the crane and our crew sets the picks. Capacity, reach, and ground requirements drive the recommendation across all-terrain, mobile, rough-terrain, boom truck, and carry deck options.
Rigging Plans Built
Around the Load
Slings, spreaders, and below-the-hook gear matched to the load. For multi-point picks and blind lifts, we plan the rigging in coordination with the engineer of record so the setup arrives ready to run.
Secured Storage Services
For Projects, Equipment, and Materials
Patriot's Jenkinsburg yard offers secured storage for upcoming projects, customer equipment, and job-related materials. Containers, oversized loads, project staging, and equipment storage between jobs. Stored under cover or fenced based on what the load demands.
Heavy Haul for Loads
With a Clear Plan
Trailer matched to the load, route planned, permits handled. From oversized industrial equipment to overweight commercial freight, we move what does not fit on a standard truck across Georgia.
Specialty Lifts Services
Swim spas placed over a roofline. Modular sections set in a backyard. Cell tower top sections. Container drops to grade. Specialty work is a regular service line at Patriot, not an exception.
