Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association

The Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association (SC&RA) is an international trade association of over 1,400 member companies from 46 countries.

SC&RA is organized into four groups under a Board of Directors. These groups focus on their specific concerns while working together for the common good:
•The Allied Industries Group provides a gamut of products and services for other SC&RA members. They rely on SC&RA’s major meetings to network with their customers and help the Association uphold its reputation for conducting first-class meeting

s by contributing thousands of dollars as event sponsors.
•The Crane & Rigging Group covers rigging, crane rental and millwright work and addresses such areas as labor relations; safety legislation, regulations and standards; trends in technology and equipment; permit policies and procedures for transporting cranes; and loss prevention, accident investigation and litigation management.
•The Ladies Group consists of women affiliated with or married to employees of an SC&RA member company. Members largely direct their efforts to furthering the SC&R Foundation, which provides industry-related research and scholarships to students preparing for a career in the industry.
•The Transportation Group encompasses the various specialized carriers and addresses such areas as federal regulations involving hours-of-service, electronic on-board recorders and load securement; regional permitting of oversize/overweight loads; pilot car best practices; anti-terrorism; and litigation concerns.

One of the biggest misconceptions about leadership is that it's about telling people what to do.

At this year's Annual Conference, Merril Hoge shared why the most effective leaders focus less on directing people and more on challenging them, supporting them, and believing in their potential.

“Leadership is about influencing people by challenging them and believing in them.”

In an industry built on teamwork, trust, and responsibility, the best leaders are not the loudest people in the room. They are the ones who challenge people to grow, believe in them before they believe in themselves, and help build confidence over time.

That mindset changes crews. It changes companies. And it changes careers.

Sometimes it is the small details that make the biggest difference on a job. Things like proper wire rope installation, clear signage, and making sure your crew is aligned before anything starts.

SC&RA members have access to resources like the Wire Rope Installation Guide, Manual Bull Rigging Competency Guidebook and Guide to Outrigger Pad Materials, Selection and Usage. These are the kinds of tools that help you slow down, double check, and get it right the first time.

Access it all in the Members-Only section on our website.

A lot of software rollouts look great on paper… until they hit the field. This webinar will dig into why some systems struggle to gain traction in day-to-day operations, what helps teams actually adopt new technology long term, and what crane and rigging companies should consider when evaluating software partners and solutions.

If your team is involved in operational technology decisions, this will be a valuable conversation to be part of.

We’re starting to see what people want to talk about in Philly and Boston, and it’s a great mix. Permitting challenges, tariffs, crane-specific issues, and how different states are handling requirements.

These events are really built around what you’re dealing with day to day. What’s slowing things down, what’s unclear, what needs to change. It’s a chance to bring those things forward and be part of the conversation.

If you operate or manage cranes, rigging, or specialized transportation in the Northeast, this is a good opportunity to show up and have your voice heard.

And if there’s something not on the list yet, let us know!

Kevin Kwateng didn’t start in this industry with a roadmap, just curiosity and a love for solving complex problems.

What kept him in it?

The people.

From sitting quietly at events to building relationships, finding mentors, and eventually launching his own company, everything changed when he stepped out of his comfort zone.

“My biggest surprise? Walking into an event and seeing competitors chatting and hugging… People compete hard, but they also collaborate and support each other.”

For Kevin, growth didn’t come from having all the answers. It came from asking questions and being willing to connect.

That’s where the real progress happens.

SC&RA is taking things on the road this summer and bringing advocacy a little closer to home with two regional stops:

📍 Philadelphia – June 16
📍 Boston – June 17

These half-day sessions are an easy way to hear what’s happening on the advocacy front, from recent wins to what’s coming next, without the need for long-distance travel.

More importantly, it’s a chance to speak up. These conversations are meant to be open, honest, and shaped by what you’re seeing in your day-to-day.

If you’re in the area, it’s worth making time for.
