An I-95 and I-74 crossroads
Lumberton is the seat of Robeson County, where I-95 meets I-74 and US 74 heads toward Wilmington and Charlotte. That access has made it a target for warehouse and food-distribution projects, which need steel, precast panels, dock equipment and rooftop units.
The Lumber River runs through town, and Lumberton has seen serious flooding from past hurricanes. Storm cleanup is a recurring reason people need a crane: trees on roofs, damaged equipment, and rebuilding.
I-95 widening and new cold storage
NCDOT is widening eight miles of I-95 through Lumberton to eight lanes, from mile marker 13 at I-74 to just north of mile 21, and rebuilding exits 17, 19 and 20. The design-build project is estimated at about $430 million, and in October 2026 NCDOT told county commissioners the Lumberton section is expected to run until 2029. The West Fifth Street bridge over the Lumber River is also being replaced.
Cold-Link Logistics announced an $85.5 million cold-storage warehouse in the Southeast Crossroads Industrial Park along I-95, with a first building of more than 220,000 square feet and room to expand. Buildings like that need tilt-up panels, structural steel and roof-mounted refrigeration equipment.

Crane rental FAQ for Lumberton
General information to help you plan. Your crane provider has the final word on equipment, safety and pricing for your specific lift.
Who handles building permits in Lumberton?
The City of Lumberton Inspections Department covers jobs inside city limits. For sites outside the city, check with Robeson County.
Will I-95 construction affect my crane delivery?
It can. Lane closures and interchange work through Lumberton can change routes and arrival times. Your provider will plan around current NCDOT restrictions.
Do you take storm cleanup requests?
Yes. After a storm, make the scene safe first, then send the address, what is down and photos. Short-notice availability varies, and no one can guarantee same-day service.
Can a crane set refrigeration units on a warehouse roof?
Yes, that's a common pick. The provider needs the unit weights, the building height and how far the crane has to reach from its setup spot.
