ABOUT ITI

WE EXIST TO SERVE AND LEARN EVERY DAY

Safe, Efficient Hoisting and Material Handling Operations

We aim to serve organizations like yours that conduct crane, rigging, heavy lift, and load-handling activities.

ITI was founded by people whose driving passion is to help others and be good stewards of their gifts. Our co-founder became an Eagle Scout at the age of 14 - a rigorous feat that 18-year-old candidates struggle to attain. The tenacity to achieve, work hard, and the desire to help others has formed a company that has continuously exhausted all efforts to lead the world in training skills and providing quality service in order to save the lives and improve the industrial activities of the employers we serve.

The "Why" of ITI...

STRATEGIC PARTNERS

ITI is proud to partner with these leading organizations that share our values and mission

When you head on out to the Moon, in very short order, and you get a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you are looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you are beginning to see the Earth evolve.
