When your environment, safety standards, or project specs push beyond what off-the-shelf equipment can deliver, Bailey Specialty Cranes & Aerials is standing by to help. Our custom-engineered MEWPs, cranes, and access platforms are purpose-built to solve complex lifting challenges—safely, efficiently, and with precision that keeps mission-critical operations running.
We specialize in designing for aerospace, defense, hazardous environments, and high-spec industrial settings, delivering equipment that adapts to your world—not the other way around.

Every unit is retrofitted or engineered from the ground up to match your site, specs, and safety requirements exactly.
Proprietary features and patented systems for precise lifting, positioning, and access in complex environments.
Decades of experience across aerospace, defense, pharma, manufacturing, and mission-critical infrastructure.
Deep experience designing equipment for Class I Div I/II and other hazardous-use environments.
Work directly with our engineers to co-develop a solution that’s truly aligned with your operational requirements and project timelines.
Built with agility, tested for reliability, and delivered without delays—because downtime isn’t an option.
At Bailey Specialty Cranes & Aerials, our custom engineering process is more than design and fabrication—it’s a strategic partnership built on precision, responsiveness, and deep technical experience that keeps mission-critical operations running. Here’s what sets us apart.

We use cutting-edge engineering tools, simulation software, and real-time performance modeling to solve operational problems others can’t touch. With a proven track record that includes NASA, the U.S. Air Force, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, we bring battle-tested expertise to every solution we engineer—whether retrofitting proven platforms or building custom systems.

No two environments are the same—so neither are our solutions. From cleanrooms and wind tunnels to explosive atmospheres and high-load assembly areas, we design equipment that meets the specific demands of your sector and keeps your operations moving when others would shut down.

From site evaluation to final delivery, our process is hands-on and client-focused. We develop detailed concepts, build precise prototypes, and continuously refine designs with your feedback—ensuring the final product meets performance, safety, and compliance goals while staying on schedule and within budget.

Our engineering team includes specialists in control systems, user interfaces, embedded software, and advanced mechanics. Whether you need targeted retrofits or full-system development from the ground up, we design with durability, safety, and usability in mind—because your operators depend on equipment that works flawlessly under pressure.

The Hammerhead OMNI 2646 is a custom-engineered scissor lift designed for precision aircraft manufacturing applications. Featuring a track-based lifting system instead of a traditional scissor stack, the unit maintains a lower stowed height, allowing the platform to sit closer to the ground while still providing full lift capability.
With a custom platform and guardrail configuration and OMNI-directional steering, the OMNI 2646 delivers exceptional maneuverability and control in tight, production-focused environments. This specialized lift was developed to meet the unique requirements of a major aircraft manufacturer where standard access equipment was not sufficient.

The 1512SP is a fully custom scissor lift designed for large-scale, precision manufacturing environments. Featuring an expansive 12-foot by 18-foot platform and a 4,000-lb lift capacity, the unit allows full crews to work comfortably with tools, equipment, and computer systems.
Equipped with OMNI-directional steering, the 1512SP provides exceptional maneuverability despite its large footprint. This lift has been successfully deployed in ISO 8 cleanroom environments within a major aircraft manufacturing facility, delivering a reliable access solution where space, cleanliness, and mobility are critical.
Partner with Bailey to transform proven platforms or build fully custom lifting solutions—engineered, manufactured, and supported under one roof for mission-critical environments where failure is not an option.

Bailey Specialty Cranes & Aerials is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned engineering and manufacturing firm based in Muskego, Wisconsin. We specialize in precision access solutions for industries where the margin for error is zero.
