Crane lifts for cell tower and utility work

Tower and utility jobs come with extra planning: remote access roads, energized equipment nearby and owner safety rules. Put those details in the request and the operator can quote the right crane and setup.

Typical tower and utility lifts

  • Antennas, radios and mounts on monopoles and towers
  • Tower sections, platforms and ice bridges
  • Equipment shelters, cabinets and generators at cell sites
  • Substation equipment such as breakers and transformers
  • Poles, light standards and other utility structures

What to have ready

  • Attachment height and the weight of the heaviest piece
  • Site address or coordinates, plus access road conditions and any gate or escort requirements
  • Nearby energized lines or equipment, and the voltage if you know it
  • The carrier's, utility's or general contractor's requirements, such as lift plans, permits or a site safety orientation

Power lines and clearances

Federal OSHA crane rules set minimum distances from power lines, and many utilities and carriers add their own rules on top of that. The operator decides how the crane can safely set up, so tell them what's near the site. For jobs on the California side, see Winterhaven and Imperial County.

This site is a free quote-request service, not a crane company. Your request goes to a local crane operator, who quotes and performs the work.

Questions

Can a crane work near energized lines?

Sometimes, with the right clearances, planning and coordination with the utility. The operator decides how to set up. Give the line location and voltage if you know them.

Do you need a lift plan for tower work?

Many carriers and utilities require one. Say so in the request. The operator will tell you whether they provide it or need yours.

Are remote sites a problem?

Not necessarily, but travel time and access affect the quote. Describe the road (paved, gravel, sand) and any tight turns or gates.

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.
