Crane Industry Services LLC has added crane and rigging specialists and inspection/program coordinators to its team.
Gary Lloyd, previously a maintenance superintendent with ALL Crane Rental of Georgia, adds more depth and expertise in hands-on training to the Crane Industry Services, LLC team. Lloyd also inspects cranes and rigging, and conducts NDT testing. “Gary has more than 30 years of experience in the industry, and is highly regarded for his knowledge and skills,” said Cliff Dickinson, president, Crane Industry Services.
Lloyd will team up with John Brown and Terry Norris, who both joined Crane Industry Services in 2014.
Brown is a retired U.S. Navy officer with experience in cranes, rigging, training, safety, security, and engineering. He holds a Certified Safety and Health Manager certification from the Institute of Safety and Health Management (ISHM), and is an experienced trainer, examiner and inspector.

In both those roles, Norris conducted hands-on and classroom training, equipment inspections and testing.

Angela Strange continues her primary responsibilities in corporate communications while recently cross-training for the new inspections and program coordinator responsibilities.
