A MESSAGE
from William “Skeet” Fout, Jr. President

My Dad, William S Fout, Sr., started the company in 1973 with one crane and one operator. Prior to starting the company he was an engineer for the Frederick County government. He worked hard and the business grew.

In 1984 I joined the company and by that time we had 3 cranes in operation plus a couple of concrete pumpers. Working in a family business has its challenges as Dad and I “butted heads” on more than one occasion (imagine that?). I certainly didn’t make his job any easier. But looking back on it now, I couldn’t have had a better mentor.

In January of 2007 Dad came into work one day and told me that I was buying the company. He was going to live in Arizona part of the year and wouldn’t be around as much (but not retire…we are not allowed to use that word). So, early in 2007, I took over.

Today, Fout Crane and Rigging has about a dozen employees providing services to general contractors, builders, subcontractors and industries requiring hydraulic cranes up to 300 ton capacity. We do business from Maine to Florida and offer 24 hour emergency service. Heavy rigging, hauling, trucking and secured storage are also provided out of our Maryland facility.

Now…enough about us. What can we do for you?
