Our Motto-We'll Place You on a Pedestal.

Our business is lifting objects but our focus is on people, our clients. Our aim is to meet their needs by going the extra mile. Therefore, much of our service takes place outside of the crane.

Our History..

Trand, Inc. was established in May of 1990. The company is owned by Terry & Sandra Arnett and was named for their daughters, TRessa & ANDrea. Terry serves as President and manager of Trand, and Sandra as accountant. The business was started with nine oilfield rig-up trucks for the purpose of moving drilling rigs in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In 1991, they diversified into long-haul, flat-bed trucking and purchased their first truck in that division. In 1995, the oilfield trucks were sold, and two double drop trailers were purchased for hauling oversize and overweight loads. In 1996, a 25-ton hydraulic crane was added and since that time, a 30-ton, a 70-ton, two 90-tons, and a 275-ton crane were added to the fleet. In 2000, land and buildings were purchased and renovated at 40216 North Highway 281 and the business was moved to that location. Trand, Inc. now concentrates on crane services.
