Construction and steel crane lifts

General contractors, steel erectors and owner-builders around Yuma all need crane time at some point, whether it's a full day of steel or a single pick to get materials onto a second floor. The more you tell the operator up front, the closer the first quote will be.

Typical construction lifts

  • Structural steel beams, columns and moment frames
  • Joist and metal-deck bundles
  • Steel shade structures and canopies at schools, parks and parking lots
  • Precast concrete pieces, vaults and barriers
  • Lumber, block and roofing materials to upper floors or roofs
  • Mezzanines, stairs and prefabricated assemblies

What to have ready

  • Heaviest pick, piece count and roughly how many picks per day
  • Building footprint and where the crane can set up, plus the maximum reach needed
  • Your rigger or signal person, or ask the operator if you need one
  • Inspection timing or other trades the crane schedule depends on
  • Permits or street closures if the crane will sit in the right-of-way

Keep crane time productive

Have pieces shaken out, tagged and staged in the order they'll be set. Have connectors ready on the deck. Delays waiting on materials or inspections are usually still billed crane time. For local permit and site notes, see steel and construction cranes in Yuma.

Questions

Are crane jobs billed by the hour or the day?

It varies by operator. Hourly rates with a minimum and daily rates are both common. The operator will explain how your job is priced. See the cost guide for what affects the price.

Do I need my own rigger and signal person?

It depends on the job and the operator. Some provide rigging crews and some expect the contractor to. Mention what you have, and the operator will tell you what's needed.

Can the crane set up in the street?

Sometimes, but a crane in a street or sidewalk usually needs a permit and traffic control from the city or county. Mention it early so it doesn't hold up the schedule.

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.
