Our Cranes

National 1300 Series    Capacity:  60,000 lbs.   Boom:  95 ft.      Load Chart

The 30 Ton is a perfect size crane for residential projects such as setting wall panels, roof trusses and structural beams.  This crane is smaller and has the versatility of getting into the smaller residential sites.  We also use this crane to set small HVAC units for the smaller commercial projects that don’t necessarily need the larger cranes.

National 18127 series      Capacity: 80,000 lbs.   Boom: 127 ft.  Jib: 31 ft.  Load Chart

This 40 Ton is probably the most versatile of our 3 smaller cranes in our fleet.  With a boom reach that is similar to our 70 Ton Crane but with the maneuverability of a 30 Ton we can accommodate a lot more commercial projects as well as reaching heights to set cell towers or even those larger rafters on residential projects.

Link-Belt RTC 8065    Capacity:  130,000 lbs.   Boom:  115 ft.   Jib: 93 ft.   Load Chart

The biggest advantage of using a rough terrain crane is that it can reach places other cranes wouldn’t be able to.  If a job site is especially uneven or difficult to navigate a rough terrain crane might be the only option.  This crane is a perfect fit for setting structural steel buildings and pipeline projects.
