About Smiley Lifting Solutions
Built in Phoenix. Trusted nationwide for equipment, parts, service, and custom manufacturing.
Smiley Lifting Solutions started in 1989 as a locally owned Phoenix operation with one boom truck and a team determined to outwork the problem. That same mindset carried us forward as we grew into nationwide equipment sales, rentals, parts, service, and custom manufacturing for contractors who need compact lifting done right.
In 1998 we became a UNIC crane distributor for the United States and Canada, opened in-house manufacturing and maintenance, and began engineering boom trucks and specialty truck builds. Today we own the SPYDERCRANE® trademark and customize SPYDERCRANE® mini crawler models for the United States and Canada. Those North American models are not the same product as UNIC mini cranes sold in Europe or other regions. Distribution, fabrication, parts, and service operate from our 200,000 sq ft Phoenix headquarters.
Today we support customers with SPYDERCRANE® mini crawlers, MAVLift® glass robots, UNIC boom trucks, pick-and-carry mini cranes, and the parts and factory-trained service behind them. Sales cover the United States and Canada. US rentals ship from company-owned locations in Phoenix, Lakewood WA, Fremont CA, Gardena CA, Haltom City TX, Greenwood IN, Douglasville GA, and Hillside NJ, with delivery available nationwide.

Your success is our success.
