Founder History

Gafar Bin Arab

Gafar bin Arab, the visionary founder of Lucky Crane Service, is from a humble middle-class family in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. After losing his father at a young age, Gafar accepted life's duties. At the age of 17, he bought his first auto-rickshaw, which he affectionately named Kati Patang, and thus began his entrepreneurial path.

Driven by hard labor and desire, he later became a truck driver and founded a bicycle shop. During the early 1980s, as Bhavnagar's industrial and scrap sectors expanded rapidly, Gafar noticed a growing demand for heavy machinery mobility and loading and unloading solutions.

In 1981, he started his crane leasing business in Bhavnagar with a single crane, hoping to service scrap traders and industrial clients throughout Gujarat. His goal was simple: provide dependable, efficient, and cost-effective crane support for lifting large machines and industrial components.

Over the decades, his dedication to trust, service, and competence has allowed Lucky Crane Service establish itself as a trusted name in crane rental and vintage crane brokerage services in India. Today, his children proudly carry on the legacy, maintaining and expanding the firm with the same passion and vision that Gafar instilled.
