About Us

At Wm. O’Brien our heavy lift services transform complex customer needs into successful innovative solutions, delivered safely, on time and on budget. We are your problem solvers. No matter what your challenge, we will find the right solution for you.

Headquartered in Ireland, we work on heavy lift projects right across Europe, as well as from America to Egypt and Norway to Barbados. Our customers take our project teams from one country to the next, knowing that our can-do attitude will ensure that no matter what unique challenges a project brings, our committed team will deliver the perfect solution. We create long term relationships with our customers based on trust, confidence and reliability.

We help minimise risk for our customers by managing all the complexities around heavy lift projects. Over the last 7 decades there are very few challenges we haven’t come up against and have consequently developed vast experience in dealing with the most challenging and complicated of situations.

We commit to working to the highest international standards, with ISO 45001 accreditation (one of the first crane hire companies in the world to be certified), as well as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Values

Our values are created through the culture our team nurtures with their attitude and work ethic on site and in our offices, and through the way we communicate with our customers, suppliers and each other.These values don’t just hang on the wall – they are the ‘how we work’ every day.

We work hard to solve our customers' problems. We endeavour to continuously find solutions to problems that arise for our customers, and also do our utmost not to bring problems to site.

Engrained in our DNA, health, safety and the environment is at the forefront of everything we do. It’s our way of life at Wm. O’Brien and a responsibility shared equally across the whole team.

03

Teamwork

We know that by working together with our customers and each other we can create incredible synergies with a combined effect far greater than the sum of our separate parts.

04

Accountability

What we say, we do. We are fully committed to delivering on our promises and work hard to make them happen.
