Every lift runs with an NCCCO certified operator, a licensed and insured contractor, and a lift plan when the pick calls for one.
NCCCO certified crane operators run every lift at Westmore Construction, and every job in Washington or Oregon carries the paperwork to back it: Washington contractor registration WESTMCL836OJ and Oregon Construction Contractors Board license CCB 234945.
General liability coverage runs at $1 million in both states, covering the crane and rigging division alongside the commercial general contracting division under one policy. Westmore also holds membership in the Southwest Washington Contractors Association.
None of it sits apart from the crew that shows up. The same operator named on the certification runs the crane, and the same company named on both state licenses signs the contract, whether the job is a backyard lift or a commercial building.
The operator who quotes your lift is the same person who runs it, start to finish. Westmore doesn't swap in a substitute partway through a job, so the operator you spoke with on the phone is the operator standing at the controls.
Rigging gear travels with the crane and the crew rather than from a separate vendor, so one point of contact handles the pick from hookup to setdown.
A heavy or complex lift gets checked against the site and the load before it is booked, so the crane class and the setup are settled before a truck ever leaves the yard.
Every Westmore crane is a mobile machine that drives itself to the site, and the counterweights and rigging follow on Westmore's own trucks. One company answers for the crane's arrival time, not a hauler outside Westmore's control.
Westmore looks at the site before the crane is booked: the load, the access, and where the crane will set up relative to the pick. That review decides which fleet class fits and whether the ground at the setup point needs anything addressed before the outriggers go down.
On lift day, the crew sets up, the operator runs the pick under the plan worked out in advance, and the load gets set down where it was scoped to land. The sequence does not change once the crane arrives, because the site was already checked before the date got booked.
A customer does not have to take either license on faith. Washington's contractor registration, WESTMCL836OJ, can be searched through the Department of Labor and Industries, and Oregon's license, CCB 234945, can be searched through the Construction Contractors Board, each state confirming its own number independent of anything Westmore prints on its own site.
The Oregon number stenciled on the truck door isn't a marketing decal; it's the same CCB number that comes back in that lookup. Checking it before a crew unloads confirms what the state itself would confirm: that the registration or license on file actually covers the work being booked.
"Fast to work with me when I had a short notice crane pick request for downtown Portland. Yikes. No problem for these guys. They nailed the permit, traffic, and planning submittals in no time... They were safe, they worked fast... From the big boy 350 Ton to little boy crane needs - they are our team now."

"We have did multiple projects across the greater Clark County WA area with Warren and his team, from picking our transformer or vaults or any craning needs we have. Fast, efficient, but at the same time very safe with their walk arounds and set up procedures, making sure everything is in the right order. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reputable crane services."

"Westmore Construction is a very honest and trustworthy crew. That is why we selected them as our general contractor and our pre-engineered metal building installer for our commercial project. They worked well with all the permitting staff, inspectors, and subcontractors. They worked hard to keep our project moving through the entire process and they cared about our timeline for completion. Plus, their entire team communicated well and timely. What more could you really ask for in a GC? I would highly recommend Westmore Construction and I would hire them again if we have a chance to develop another property in the future."

In Washington, yes. The state enforces its own crane operator requirement through Labor and Industries on top of the national standard, and NCCCO is one of the accredited certifications that meets it. The card belongs to the person, not to any single machine, so it travels with whichever operator shows up. Every Westmore operator holds one.
Search the state that issued it. Washington posts contractor registrations in the Labor and Industries lookup, and Oregon posts licenses in the Construction Contractors Board database, each record showing status, bond, and violation history independent of anything a company prints about itself. Westmore's numbers are WESTMCL836OJ in Washington and CCB 234945 in Oregon.
General liability coverage carried by the crane company is what responds to property damage during a pick, and the certificate names the amount and the states it applies in. Westmore carries one million dollars in general liability in Washington and in Oregon, covering the crane and rigging division alongside the construction division, on a backyard lift or a commercial build alike.
On a Westmore job the crane crew rigs the load, and it is the same crew running the machine. The slings, shackles, and spreaders a pick calls for travel with the crane instead of coming from a separate rigging company, so the operator and the rigger are on one payroll. One company answers for the hookup, the pick, and the setdown.
A lift plan is the written breakdown of a pick worked out before the crane is booked: what the piece weighs, the boom height needed, the radius between the machine and the landing point, and what the outrigger pads will rest on. Heavy and complex picks are planned this way as standard practice, so the crane class and the rigging are settled before a truck leaves.
Ask whether the operator is certified, whether the rigging and the operator come with the crane, which states the company is licensed in, and how much liability coverage is on file. Ask who hauls the crane to the site too, because a third-party hauler puts an arrival time outside the crane company's control. Westmore answers all five the same way and hauls its own machines.
Send the details of your lift or your build, and Westmore confirms the license, the certification, or the coverage that applies before the crew is booked.
