Hydraulic truck crane for mid-weight commercial, light industrial, and downtown picks where 40T is short and 90T is overkill.
The 65-ton class fills the gap between rough terrain and large all-terrain cranes. Road legal with permits, fast to set up, and capable on a wide range of commercial and light industrial picks. Common pick for AC units on taller commercial roofs, steel sets on three- to five-story commercial buildings, and shutdown support in plants.

Crane plus NCCCO-certified operator, fuel, insurance, and ongoing maintenance. Our standard rental model.
Right-sized cranes and the right operators for rooftop HVAC sets, structural steel, and curtain wall picks across Louisiana and Texas.
Pre-staged cranes, pre-badged operators, and 24/7 dispatch for refinery and petrochemical turnarounds in the Gulf South.
65 tons (130,000 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 65-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.
Main boom is 38 to 140 ft hydraulic, and maximum tip height is ~190 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.
Lafayette, Baton Rouge, 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.
Mid-rise HVAC and rooftop equipment, Steel and curtain wall sets, Shutdown support, light refinery work, Equipment placements at industrial pads, 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.
The footprint is set by the outrigger spread, not the carrier, and for a 65-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.
Road legal with standard permits. Counterweight and sometimes boom sections travel separately, so allow assembly time on site in addition to the pick itself.
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.
A few days is usually enough for a planned lift. Emergency and same-day work is possible subject to what is already committed, and dispatch is staffed around the clock.
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.
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.
Two-minute call and we can quote a date, a rate, and a yard.
