About Mayo Crane Services LLC

Ian Mayo: Owner, Crane Operator, NCCER Certified

Meet Ian Mayo, Owner of Mayo Crane Services LLC. Ian grew up in Cape Elizabeth and his family was a big part of the Marine industry in Portland, Maine. His dad was a fisherman on the Portland waterfront and that meant spending many days immersed in the working waterfront culture- on and off of Fishing boats. After graduating from high school, he moved to Vermont where he studied at Vermont Technical College for Mechanical Engineering. After earning his Associate’s Degree he moved back to Portland, Maine where his interest in the crane industry began. He was working with his father on the waterfront who had an old international 2.5-ton crane truck from 1982 that was not street legal and had been built with the parts of many different trucks. He started doing local favors for fisherman loading and unloading gear at his family’s fish pier and eventually noticed there was a real need for a crane service on the Portland, Maine waterfront. Alongside realizing this need in the industry, he had discovered a passion for operating heavy equipment and using cranes to help the fishermen in town. In 2015, he established Mayo Crane Services and was focusing primarily on jobs for ground fishermen, scallopers, and seiners. Eventually word began to spread and HVAC companies, fabricators, and boat yards began requesting crane services. Now, 5 years later, Mayo Crane Services has acquired 2 new cranes and offers a wide variety of crane services across Southern Maine. Every job provides new challenges to overcome and he is meeting new companies locally everyday that can use his services. He is dedicated, certified, and committed to providing the highest quality crane services in Portland, Maine.
