Bridge work is a cornerstone of our heavy-lift operations. Whether supporting a major state highway project or a local county road replacement, the mission remains the same: building rock-solid infrastructure communities can rely on for decades to come.
Recent projects across Michigan showcased different methodologies tailored to each site’s unique needs, from state-level improvements along US-131 to critical county bridge replacements. Through it all, Gelock continues to be a trusted partner for many of the region’s leading excavating companies.
We take pride in knowing the structures we help set today will safely carry Michigan families for the next 50 years and beyond.

How We Saved a 1965 Mustang From a Burned-Out House

Our crane and rigging crew was called in to solve the impossible. Helping a family after a devastating fire and rescuing a 1965 Ford Mustang with deep sentimental value made this high-stakes job incredibly special.
Operating under extreme pressure and hazardous conditions, our team engineered a solution to stabilize the compromised structure, lift the floor, and safely extract the vehicle.
A special thank you to Chris Boden for capturing our crew in action! Watch the full extraction below to see how our team handles high-value assets under pressure.
