Typical ag and packing lifts
- Refrigeration compressors, condensers and evaporators, including on cold-storage roofs
- Cooling, processing and conveyor equipment going in through doors or roof openings
- Tanks, pumps, motors and irrigation equipment
- Unloading new machinery from trucks and setting it on pads
- Shade structures and steel for sheds and equipment yards
Timing around the season
Summer and early fall are the usual windows for big installs. Send requests early in the off-season, especially if several contractors will need the same crane time before harvest. During the season, mention working hours and truck traffic so the lift can be scheduled around operations.
What to send
Equipment weight and dimensions, whether it goes onto a roof, a pad or through a door, and the setup area. Also note food-safety or site rules visitors must follow. See the equipment lift guide for the full checklist.
