What is included in the cost estimate?
Typically, the cost estimate depends on what type of crane and for how long it is needed. It can also vary depending on where the job is located, if additional crew is needed (signalpersons, riggers, etc.), and if any special rigging is needed.
What size crane do I need?
This depends on a wide variety of factors including weight of the load to be lifted, how high up or how far away the load is being placed, if there are any obstacles present, and how the site is configured to name a few. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to call us.
What type of rigging is included?
Depending on the size and type of crane we have most common rigging configurations. Any specialized rigging such as spreader bars, man baskets, etc. are available upon request.
Do I need to do any site preparation for the crane?
Yes. Cranes by nature are very heavy and require firm, level ground to operate on. The site should also be cleared of as many obstacles and debris as possible. We will be able to point to any site prep that is necessary when we perform our site visit.
