The Fleet
Cranes for Every Site
We match the crane to the weight, the radius and the ground you're setting up on.

FAQ
Common Questions
Do your cranes come with an operator?
Yes. Every Snell crane goes out with an NCCCO-certified Snell operator. We don't rent bare cranes.
How do I know which crane I need?
Send us four numbers: the weight of the heaviest piece, the distance from the load to the building edge, the building height, and where the crane can set up. We check them against the load charts and pick the crane.
Can you lift at night or on weekends?
Yes. Dispatch answers 24/7, and we've run night lifts in downtown Seattle when the street had to stay open by day.
How far do you travel?
We work the I-5 corridor from Seattle to Portland, Grays Harbor, the Olympic Peninsula and the Long Beach Peninsula. Call us about jobs outside those areas.
Do you handle permits and traffic control?
Yes. We pull street-use and oversize transport permits and coordinate traffic control, so you don't have to.
Can you handle tandem or critical lifts?
Yes. Tandem and critical picks get a written lift plan. We've set large tanks and vessels with two Liebherr crawlers working together.
