Crane lifts for equipment and machinery

When something heavy has to come off a truck, go onto a pad or get over a wall, a crane is often the simplest way to do it. These lifts are usually short, but weight, center of gravity and lifting points matter a lot.

Equipment people lift with a crane

  • Standby generators, transformers and electrical gear
  • Water and fuel tanks, pressure vessels and compressors
  • Shipping and storage containers
  • Packing-shed, cooling and processing equipment
  • Farm machinery, pumps and motors
  • Spas, hot tubs and large items lifted over a house or wall

What to have ready

  • Weight and dimensions, from the nameplate, spec sheet or shipping papers
  • Lifting points or lugs, and whether a spreader bar is needed
  • Where it is now (on a truck, inside a building, on the ground) and exactly where it needs to go
  • Clear path for the crane to park, and anything overhead such as wires, trees or eaves

Inside buildings

A mobile crane can't work under a roof. For equipment going inside, the crane typically sets it at a door or opening, and forklifts, skates or a machinery-moving crew take it the rest of the way. Mention this in the request so the operator can plan the handoff. For packing-shed and cold-storage work, see packing-shed equipment lifts in Yuma.

Questions

Can you lift a hot tub into my backyard?

Crane lifts of spas over a house or fence are a common request. Send the spa's dry weight, the distance from the street to the pad, and anything overhead. The operator will say whether it can be done from the street.

Do you also haul the equipment?

This site only passes along crane requests. Some operators also offer trucking. Ask in the project details and the operator will tell you.

What if I don't know the exact weight?

Give your best estimate and where it came from, such as a model number. The operator may ask for more before confirming the crane size.

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.
