About crane names

A tower crane can stand over a neighborhood for a year or more, so it tends to pick up a name. Builders sometimes run a naming contest with the school or hospital next door, crews hand out nicknames, and a yard's mobile crane or a harbor gantry often gets one too. This list has 1,000 names for that job, drafted with a school ballot in mind.

Most jokes come from the machine's own vocabulary. Lift and hoist give Sir Lifts-a-Lot and Hoist with the Most. The hook, the boom and the jib give Hooked on a Feeling, Boom with a View and Jib Jab, while slewing (turning) and luffing (raising or lowering the jib) give Slew Suede Shoes and Luff Actually. "Crane" stands in for rain, brain and can: Purple Crane, Crane Storm, I Think I Crane.

The rest is about height and strength: sky names (Cloud Tickler, Sky Hook), giants from myth and folklore (Atlas, Paul Bunyan), gentle giants and ironic small ones (Big Softie, Half Pint), alliterative first names (Lofty Larry, Tall Tilly), titles (Count Erweight) and the plain color and number names crews use (Old Yellow, Number Three). There are also site pride names with invented places, names for a pair or a fleet, and a few for the bird, such as Origami the Paper Crane.

How to choose crane names

  • If the name is for a contest, read the organizer's rules before you enter. Each contest sets its own limits on length and content and decides for itself what counts as a repeat.
  • Say it out loud the way it will be announced. Sky Hook and Big Reach work over a loudspeaker, while a spelling joke like Count Erweight or Jibrarian reads better on a banner.
  • Match the name to the machine. Slew and luff puns suit a tower crane, Dock Star and Quay to the City suit a harbor gantry, and Half Pint or Little Luffer suits the smallest crane in the yard.
  • For a class entry, choose something a young child can say and draw, such as Stretchy, Steel Giraffe or Tilly the Tower Crane.
  • For two or more cranes on one site, look at the pair and fleet names (Tall and Taller, Boom and Jib, Skyline Sisters), or number a theme: Crane One, Crane Two.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny crane names?

Try Sir Lifts-a-Lot, Craney McCraneface, Hoist with the Most, Boom with a View, Jib Jab, Luff Actually or Count Erweight. For something gentler, the list has Uplifting Ursula, Lofty Larry and Steel Giraffe.

Can I enter one of these in a name-the-crane contest?

Use the list for ideas, then read the contest's own rules and past results before you enter. We have not compared these names with the entries or winners of any contest, so a name here may already have been used somewhere.

Do the names fit every kind of crane?

Most of them suit any lifting crane, and some are aimed at one kind. Slew and luff puns are for tower cranes, Crawler Carla and Outrigger Otto for mobile cranes, and Dock Star, Pier Pressure and Landed Gantry for port and gantry cranes. A small crane can take an ironic name such as Half Pint or Little Giant.

Are there names for the bird as well?

A few. A small share of the list is for crane mascots, plush toys and story characters, and each of those says so in the name: Sandy the Sandhill Crane, Origami the Paper Crane, Colt the Crane Chick. Everything else is for the machine.
