Things that are specific to lifting in Yuma

  • Heat: summer afternoons regularly go well over 100°F, so many crews schedule lifts for early morning.
  • Wind and dust: afternoon gusts can stop a lift, especially with big flat loads like trusses or panels. Keep the schedule flexible.
  • Ground: sandy or freshly graded lots may need cribbing or mats under the outriggers. Mention it if the setup area isn't paved.
  • Permits: a crane in a street, alley or sidewalk usually needs a right-of-way permit. Check with the City of Yuma, or Yuma County outside city limits.
  • Airport heights: Yuma International Airport shares its runways with MCAS Yuma. Tall cranes near the airport may need an FAA notice, so check early if you're close to the flight path.
  • Base work: jobs on MCAS Yuma or Yuma Proving Ground need base access, which is normally arranged through the prime contractor.

Questions

How soon can I get a crane in Yuma?

It depends on the operator's schedule and the crane your job needs. Include your target date, and whether it's flexible, so the operator can tell you what's available.

Do I need a permit for a crane in Yuma?

If the crane or its swing area will be in a public street, alley or sidewalk, you'll usually need a right-of-way permit from the City of Yuma (or Yuma County outside city limits). Lifts entirely on private property often don't need one, but check with the jurisdiction.

Is crane work done in the summer?

Yes, year-round. In the hottest months many lifts are scheduled early in the morning, for both the crew and the equipment.

Are you a crane company?

No. This site is an independent quote-request service. We pass your request to a local crane operator serving the Yuma area, and that operator quotes and performs the work.
