Surrey gears up for Canada’s biggest Crane Rodeo
The wait is over—Surrey is bringing back its most unique event, the Crane Rodeo, hosted by Falcon Equipment in Port Kells. On September 6, crane operators from across the country will battle for prizes, bragging rights, and a coveted first-place title in what has become the largest knuckle boom crane competition in Canada.
What makes the Crane Rodeo different
Unlike straight-boom cranes, knuckle boom cranes feature a second jointed arm, creating more agility and challenge. This year’s rodeo will spotlight operators navigating obstacle courses, showing off precision, and competing head-to-head in brand-new surprise events. Falcon’s team promises a bigger course, tougher challenges, and more excitement than ever before.
A family-friendly community celebration
Beyond the machinery battles, the Falcon yard transforms into a community festival. Families can enjoy face-painting, games, a bouncy castle, and giveaways. Free food trucks will keep spectators energized, while multiple viewing areas let fans follow every crane showdown up close. With activities for all ages, the rodeo is designed as much for curious visitors as for industry insiders.
The tradition continues in Surrey
First launched several years ago by Falcon’s team, the Crane Rodeo quickly grew into a popular annual tradition. Each year brings fresh competitions like Hook n’ Hoop or Rail Spike Throwdown, drawing large crowds eager to witness crane skills in action. Organizers say this year will be the biggest yet, combining competition with camaraderie in Surrey’s expansive Falcon Equipment yard.
