Q: Can you move.? A: If it's too big for a furniture mover, we almost certainly can move it, and there's a very good chance we already have moved something similar. Our extensive list of projects includes everything from document safes for the 440th Airlift Wing, gigantic murals at art musuems, hull sections of the Titanic at the public museum, massive engines flying overseas on one of the biggest planes ever built, all the way up 300 ton substation transformers and 500 ton turbine rotor shafts.

Started in 1906, John Hennes began Hennes Trucking Company with a wooden cart and a few horses. Over time, semi-tractors slowly replaced the horses and with the addition of winches and derricks, the company began to enter the heavy lifting business servicing many of Milwaukee's industries including breweries and foundries. In 1932, John Hennes sold the business to his son-in-law, Hillard "Butch" Lang and a business partner. As time went on, Hennes became the industry leader in southeastern Wisconsin for rigging, heavy hauling, boiler making, machinery moving, and also included Lang Cartage, a local trucking supplier who delivered goods to stores, factories, pharmacies, taverns, and more.

Hennes Services, Inc. is a leading industrial service company located in Southeastern Wisconsin specializing in crane service, rigging, machinery moving, heavy hauling, precision alignment, industrial warehousing, commercial/industrial HVAC, small-scale plate/structural fabrication/welding, and sheet metal fabrication.
