Innovative
Construction Company

ESTABLISHED IN 1947

Our History

Bernard and Dollene Hill founded Hill Crane Service in 1947.  With a foundation rooted in service and customer value, the company quickly expanded both its crane fleet and customer base across Southern California.

By 2001, as street-legal cranes became more significant, the family founded California Traffic Control, a full-service, woman-owned company with the ability to provide travel permits, encroachment permits, and traffic control plans for crane operations.  In 2008, the family expanded yet again with the launch of HCS Transportation – a trucking company offering heavy haul services, flatbed, low bed, and specialty hauling to Hill Crane Service and its customer base.  In 2018, Hill Crane expanded again and added an entire rigging division to its name, offering its customer rigging needs where cranes are not able to fit.

Combined, these family-owned companies provide a level of service, flexibility, and convenience that’s unmatched in the market today.
