Crane plus NCCCO-certified operator, fuel, insurance, and ongoing maintenance. Our standard rental model.
Operated rental is the default for most CDH jobs. You get the crane, an NCCCO-certified operator who knows the rig, fuel, equipment insurance, and ongoing yard maintenance. We handle the load chart, mobilization, jobsite setup, and demobilization. You focus on the project; we focus on the lift.
You want the simplest, lowest-risk way to get the right crane on a jobsite with the right operator. This covers ~90% of commercial, industrial, and marine work.
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.
Long-boom all-terrain class for heavy commercial, marine, and refinery picks needing reach plus capacity.
Heavy-lift class for transformer sets, vessel work, structural sets, and critical industrial picks.

The crane, an NCCCO-certified operator, fuel, and the crane's own insurance while it is under our control. Rigging gear, mats, a signal person or a second rigger are quoted alongside it when the pick needs them, so what you get is a working crew rather than a machine parked on your site.
We are responsible for operating the crane safely and within its load chart. You remain responsible for the site, ground conditions, and what is being lifted, including its actual weight and rigging points. Where the pick is complex we agree a written lift plan so the split is explicit rather than assumed.
Not usually. Operated rental normally includes the rigging our operator needs to make the pick. If your site requires its own qualified signal person, or the load needs specialist rigging you already own, that is easily worked into the plan.
By crane class and time on site, with mobilisation and demobilisation quoted separately because they depend on distance and permits. Overtime, night and weekend rates apply outside normal hours. There is no hidden operator charge; the operator is part of the rate.
Yes, and it varies by crane class. Larger units take longer to set up and tear down than they do to make the pick, so the minimum reflects the day the crane is committed rather than the hour the hook is loaded.
NCCCO certification, current and verifiable, on the crane class they are running. We maintain OSHA compliance and hold ISN and Avetta registrations, which is what refineries and chemical plants across the Gulf South check before badging.
Wherever scheduling allows, yes, and we prefer it. Continuity matters on multi-day work because the operator already knows the site, the ground and the sequence, which is faster and safer than starting over each morning.
The lift stops until it is recalculated. Load charts are not advisory, and a crane that is correct for the stated weight can be badly wrong for an actual one. This is the single most common reason a pick gets delayed, and it is why we ask for real weights rather than estimates.
For routine picks, the operator works to the load chart and site conditions. For critical lifts, or where your site's own criteria demand it, we produce an engineered lift plan in-house covering load chart verification, rigging design, ground bearing and route.
Yes, and much of our work is exactly that. Working live means hot work permits, confined approaches, restricted radii and often a night or shutdown window. Those constraints get built into the plan before anything mobilises.
Dispatch is staffed 24/7. We can scope, quote, and book your pick on the same call.
