NCSG Crane & Rigging Rebrands as Barnhart Following Canadian Acquisition

May 28, 2025

30 Second Takeaway


Canadian crane rental and rigging specialist NCSG Crane & Rigging has officially rebranded as Barnhart, following its acquisition by the US-based Barnhart Crane & Rigging in June 2025. All eight NCSG locations across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan will now operate under the Barnhart name, formally integrating the business into Barnhart’s 70-branch North American network.



NCSG becomes Barnhart across Canada


Following its acquisition last June, NCSG Crane & Rigging has completed its transition to the Barnhart brand. The rebrand applies across all former NCSG locations, marking the full integration of the Canadian business into Barnhart Crane & Rigging.

NCSG operated from:

  • Five locations in Alberta

  • Two locations in British Columbia

  • One location in Saskatchewan


All sites will now trade as Barnhart, expanding the company’s footprint across Western Canada.


Canadian operations join Barnhart’s North American network


With the rebrand complete, the former NCSG operations formally join Barnhart’s network of more than 70 branches across North America. The integration is intended to provide Canadian customers with broader access to engineered lifting, rigging, and logistics solutions delivered across the Barnhart organisation.


Rebrand highlights access to engineered lifting solutions


David Webster, President of Barnhart, said the rebrand reflects the expanded capabilities available to customers in Canada.

“While the Canadian company has an impeccable reputation, rebranding as Barnhart emphasises the access that Canadian customers now have to the wide range of engineered solutions offered by one of North America’s largest crane, rigging, and logistics providers,” Webster said.
