Grim's Crane Service

This letter is to commend the efforts, expertise and skill of a local East Palestine, OH company, Grim’s Crane Service. We, at Air Heritage Inc., an aircraft restoration facility located just over the state line in Chippewa Twp., PA, were lucky to have the excellent Grim crane crew help us restore an F-4 Phantom fighter jet to its original setting upon its main landing gear. The airplane had come to us on a flatbed truck with the wings and main landing gear separated from the fuselage.

In just two short hours the men from Grim’s Cranes and the hearty volunteers at Air Heritage had the Phantom back on her feet and looking good! It was no easy job; in fact it took precision, skill and a good deal of minute coaxing to realign the aircraft onto the four long bolts sticking up from the wing box. The Grim operators were so smooth and exacting, and they really seem to enjoy their work. In addition, everyone at Grim’s was a pleasure to work with. We found their office staff to be friendly and polite, and the attention they gave to the many details of this particular job surely contributed to the overall success of the project.

So a hearty Pennsylvanian thanks to the Ohio firm of Grim’s Cranes! They are a real asset to our region, and we can recommend their professionalism and ability to get the job done.
