Edwards Inc.

In 1979 Derrill Edwards started his own full time business. He began with a pickup truck, portable welder, hand tools and an initial investment of $7000.00, saved while serving in the US Marine Corps. With a desire to have more for his family and an "I Can" attitude, Edwards Inc. was formed. Due to demand for commitment and quality, Edwards Inc. began to expand. In 1980 Derrill Edwards built his first shop, a 2000 square ft. metal building in Spring Hope, North Carolina.
In 1983 Edwards Inc. purchased it's first crane, a 35 ton Grove. In 1985 Edwards Inc. added a 100-ton hydraulic crane, which was the largest in NC at that time. With the many opportunities and foresight, Edwards Inc. was evolving into a leader in crane rental and full-service heavy industrial contracting. By continuing to provide quality work, quality service and making a commitment to each customer, Edwards Inc. has grown into one of the largest full-service industrial contractors and crane rental companies in the Southeastern United States.
