About Us
We transform equipment management from profit-draining to ROI generating.
Our Mission
Every day, companies like yours face the same challenges:
Operations
Operations sees equipment as a means to an end—more gear equals more revenue.
Equipment
Equipment believes “we are an equipment company” and needs more mechanics just to keep things running.
Accounting
Accounting is left struggling to make sense of rising costs and chasing a return on investment.
And you’re caught in the middle, wondering who’s right.
At Lonewolf, we help you break free from the cycle of budget overruns, breakdowns, and departmental conflicts. We restore the Internal Equipment Triangle—the critical balance between Operations, Equipment, and Accounting. By aligning your teams and uncovering inefficiencies others miss, we help you achieve the equipment management transformation you’ve been searching for.
The Outcome? Lasting Change.
Work with us and experience:
- Stunning financial gains
- Streamlined systems and workflows

When your teams work together, costs shrink, efficiency soars, and profitability follows.

About ME
Craig "The rate guy" Gramlich
My connection to equipment runs deep. As a kid, the shop was my playground, the breakroom my classroom. I climbed over every piece of iron I could find, breathing in the smell of oil and grease and listening to the wisdom of field crews who had spent their lives in the field. What I didn’t realize at the time was that those moments would teach me more than any textbook ever could.
Those early lessons shaped everything. I didn’t just step into this industry—I grew up in it.
The Three Languages That Changed Everything
I’ve spent my career in the trenches of some of the largest and most demanding equipment operations in the world, learning something most people never do: While others studied French, German, or Spanish, I became fluent in three critical languages—Operations, Equipment, and Accounting.
This wasn’t theory. It was forged through real-world experience—from crunching numbers as an accountant to managing multi-million-dollar fleets, running heavy civil projects, and leading teams as a senior leader.
And in every role and company, I saw the same pattern:
- Operations pushing for more equipment
- Equipment desperate for more mechanics
- Accounting scrambling to make sense of the numbers
Instead of working together, these teams were working against each other—without even realizing it.
Why Lonewolf? Because Alignment Wins.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Equipment management challenges don’t fit neatly into a box, software won’t fix what’s broken, and traditional consultants won’t fix a damn thing… but they will gladly charge you an arm and a leg.
Most consultants put a focus on either operations, equipment, or finance—but that’s not enough. True transformation only happens when all three work in sync.
That’s why I founded Lonewolf—to bridge the gaps, align your teams, and turn equipment management into a competitive advantage. Giving you results without the headache.

Let’s cut through the noise and get it right—for good.
About You
You’re facing challenges that keep you up at night:
- The same story, every month. Nothing changes.
- Endless delays. You’re tired of waiting for things to get done, but don’t have the time to do it yourself.
- No visibility. You can’t see equipment costs, usage, or where the money is going.
- Lack of expertise. You need someone who truly understands how all of this works.
- Technical skills, but no management structure. Your equipment team knows how to fix machines but struggles with fleet, shop, and staff management.
- No systems, no structure. Asset management is non-existent.
- Surprise costs. Unexpected equipment expenses keep eating into your profits.
- No time, no patience. You’re done dealing with the chaos.
Whether you’re a CFO blindsided by equipment costs, an Operations Manager frustrated with rates and breakdowns, or an Equipment Manager struggling to make sense of cost reports and systems—we speak your language and understand your challenges.
What You Need—And Why We Deliver
You need more than a consultant—you need an expert who can parachute in, pinpoint the biggest problems, and not just tell you what to fix, but what to fix first – and – help you do it.
From building a true equipment business unit to implementing cost reporting, fleet tracking systems, and full-scale digital transformations, we get it done.
Real success isn’t just about deliverables (though you’ll get those too). It’s about aligning your teams, eliminating internal battles, and turning frustration into results.
We’ll help you cut through the noise, break down silos, and create real change that lasts.
