Welcome to the Shepard Niles website. In this section we'd like
to tell you more about how our company started, as well as who we
are today.
Our History
Shepard Niles was founded in 1878, and we built our first crane
around 1902. Since then, the name Shepard Niles has come to mean
unrelenting quality, reliability and long life in material handling.
Workhorse cranes and hoists that last forever-- this is what industry
expects from Shepard Niles. Our hand-built, heavy-duty Class D and
E cranes and hoists helped America become the world's leading industrial
nation, and powered our country through two World Wars.
Today's Shepard Niles
Times change. Industry and commerce have become global. Shepard
Niles is changing too. Obviously, we no longer build cranes by hand.
But we can ensure that our quality will live on, by supplying you
with genuine Shepard Niles replacement parts. And through our alliance
with KCI Konecranes, we can assure our customers of the best delivery,
service and product warranty available anywhere. We'd like all of
our customers to know that after 100 years, we're still here in
Montour Falls, still supplying quality Shepard Niles replacement
parts and hoists.
A Service of KCI Konecranes
In 2002 Shepard Niles underwent a reorganization, which resulted
in forming a strategic alliance with KCI Konecranes, one of the
world's largest providers of material handling products and services.
This alliance allows Shepard Niles to continue to provide original
OEM parts, rebuilds and service for all Shepard Niles cranes and
hoists ever built. We are also continuing to develop our other core
business: delivering new heavy-duty hoists for class CMAA D and
E applications to our customers who need a hoist of this type. If
you would like to know more about our strategic partner KCI Konecranes,
