LiftHigh announces expansion plans

LiftHigh Crane & Rigging  announced the successful amendment and expansion of its revolving line of credit facility, increasing total borrowing capacity from $10 million to $20 million. The amended facility was completed with The Huntington National Bank.

LiftHigh has increased its credit facility through its partnership with The Huntington National Bank.

The expanded credit facility will support LiftHigh’s continued capital investment strategy, fleet growth and geographic expansion initiatives as the company continues to strengthen its presence across the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions.

As part of this growth strategy, LiftHigh also announced plans to establish a new Central Texas branch. The new branch, located at 846 York Creek Road in New Braunfels, Texas, strategically positions LiftHigh between the Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas. The location will provide crane services, specialty rigging, secure indoor and outdoor storage and project staging support for clients in manufacturing, infrastructure, power generation, telecommunications, commercial construction, energy and rapidly expanding AI and data center markets.

“Expanding our credit facility provides additional flexibility to continue investing in our people, equipment, and regional growth strategy,” said Mike Appling Jr., Chief Executive Officer of LiftHigh. “Central Texas represents an important market for LiftHigh as we continue building a regional platform focused on safe execution, specialized equipment, and reliable service.”

Brad Hopper, Chief Financial Officer of LiftHigh, emphasized the importance of the company’s banking relationship and the role the expanded facility will play in supporting LiftHigh’s continued growth initiatives.

“Once again, it has been a pleasure to work with the team at The Huntington Bank,” Hopper said. “We truly appreciate their support of LiftHigh and ability to efficiently get the things done that matter to our business.”

LiftHigh Branch Manager Sam Land said the expansion reflects the company’s continued momentum and long-term commitment to growing its regional operations across Texas.

LiftHigh has expanded into New Braunfels, TX with a new facility that is in between Austin and San Antonio.

“This is an exciting time at LiftHigh Crane,” Land said. “The expansion of our credit facility is a tremendous milestone this early in our company’s history as we continue growing into the San Antonio and Austin markets, while expanding our business culture across Texas.”

Blake Patterson, Huntington Bank Senior Vice President, said the bank is pleased to work with the LiftHigh team as they expand and execute their growth strategy in Texas.

“We are proud to partner with proven operators in this space,” Patterson said. “Our relationship with LiftHigh reflects Huntington’s broader commitment to expanding our presence across the state. We look forward to supporting their continued momentum as they enter their next phase of growth.”
