Right-sized cranes and the right operators for rooftop HVAC sets, structural steel, and curtain wall picks across Louisiana and Texas.
HVAC rooftop sets and structural steel picks are bread-and-butter commercial work. We size the crane to the pick (most jobs land in the 15T to 90T range), coordinate the road permit if one is needed, and run the pick during the window that works for the building owner — often weekend or after-hours. Our operators have set HVAC on commercial buildings from Lafayette to Houston for two decades.
Any commercial rooftop equipment set, structural steel pick, or curtain wall lift on a commercial building.
Truck-mounted boom crane for HVAC sets, sign installs, light steel, and rapid-response picks. Road legal, no permit on most picks.
4WD rough-terrain crane for off-road jobsites, refinery yards, and tight industrial pads where a truck crane will not fit.
Hydraulic truck crane for mid-weight commercial, light industrial, and downtown picks where 40T is short and 90T is overkill.
All-terrain crane that drives at highway speed and works off-road on the same day. Most-requested crane in our fleet.

Yes, and it is one of our most frequent jobs. Rooftop condenser and air handler sets are usually a radius problem rather than a weight one, because the crane has to sit clear of the building and reach over it.
It depends on how far the crane can be set from the building and how high the roof is, far more than on the unit weight. A light unit on a tall building with no close setup position can need a bigger crane than a heavy unit at ground level.
Often a half day or less on site for a straightforward set, including setup and teardown. Several units on one roof are usually far more efficient in one visit than spread across days.
Yes. Beams, joists, columns and precast for commercial construction are regular work, generally sequenced with the erection crew so the crane is not waiting between picks.
Frequently, in built-up areas. Where the only viable setup position is in the roadway, that means a permit and traffic control, and often scheduling outside business hours.
Only within the required clearances, which are set by voltage and are not negotiable. Where the approach cannot maintain them, the utility has to de-energise or cover the line first. That has to be arranged well ahead.
Unit weight, roof height, and how close the crane can get to the building. A photograph from the street showing the building and the available setup area answers most of it at once.
Yes, and it is almost always cheaper. Once the crane is set up and permitted, additional picks from the same position cost time rather than another mobilisation.
Our operator handles the crane and the rigging to the hook. Landing, positioning and securing the unit on the roof is normally the mechanical contractor, coordinated on the day.
Yes. Occupied offices, medical buildings and retail usually need the work outside business hours, and weekend sets are common for exactly that reason.
Dispatch is staffed 24/7. We can scope, quote, and book your pick on the same call.
