300-Ton Crane
rental.

Large-class all-terrain for LNG modules, refinery vessel sets, and major industrial picks.

§ 01 Overview

What the 300-ton crane is good for.

The 300-ton class is reserved for major industrial picks: LNG modules, refinery vessel sets, large transformer work, and bridge structural members. Engineered lift plan, route survey, and pre-construction coordination are standard. Counterweight is rigged on site from a support truck.

§ FAQ Questions dispatch gets asked

The 300-Ton Crane, answered.

What can a 300-ton crane actually lift?

300 tons (600,000 lb) is the chart maximum, and that figure applies only at minimum radius with full counterweight. Real capacity falls sharply as the boom extends and the load moves away from the crane. A 300-ton rating routinely means a working capacity in the single-digit tons at long radius, which is why we size from your weight and reach rather than from the headline number.

How high can the 300-Ton Crane reach?

Main boom is 60 to 263 ft telescopic, and maximum tip height is ~400 ft with jib. Height and capacity trade against each other, so the useful question is how much weight you need at what height, not how high the boom goes empty.

Which yards keep a 300-ton unit?

Lafayette, Lake Charles, New Orleans and Baytown. If the nearest yard has its unit committed we will quote from the next closest rather than leave you waiting, and the mobilisation difference is shown in the quote.

What is this crane typically used for?

LNG and petrochem module sets, Refinery vessel and reactor work, Major bridge structural picks, Wind tower nacelle and tower sections, among others. It is the class we reach for when those jobs come up, though the deciding factor is always the specific weight and radius.

How much space does it need to set up?

The footprint is set by the outrigger spread, not the carrier, and for a 300-ton class unit that is substantially larger than the machine looks on the road. Ground bearing matters as much as area: this class concentrates enough load through each outrigger to need mats on anything but engineered hardstanding. Send a photograph of the setup area and we will confirm before the day.

How is it transported to site?

Multi-permit heavy haul, support trucks for counterweight. It drives to site under its own power, which keeps mobilisation simple and quick.

Does the rate include an operator?

Operated rental is the default and includes an NCCCO-certified operator, fuel and insurance while the crane is under our control. Bare rental is available to contractors carrying their own certified operators and equipment coverage.

How far ahead should I book it?

Weeks, realistically. Units this size need route survey, permits and often ground preparation, and there are fewer of them in the region, so lead time is the constraint rather than the crane.

Do you provide rigging with it?

Slings, shackles, spreader bars, man baskets and matting are all available alongside the crane and are quoted with the pick rather than bolted on afterwards. Operated rentals include the rigging our operator needs to make the lift.

What if a 300-ton crane turns out to be the wrong size?

Then we say so before the day. Under-sizing is dangerous and over-sizing is expensive, so dispatch would rather spend two minutes on your weight and radius and quote a different class than send a crane that cannot make the pick.

Need a 300-ton crane?

Two-minute call and we can quote a date, a rate, and a yard.
