Local coverage
Hamilton work runs from the bayfront industrial lands up the Mountain, and the two sides of the city ask different things of a crane. Lower-city jobs deal with rail corridors, plant fences and narrow access lanes; Mountain jobs deal with residential setbacks, driveways and tree canopy. We plan the setup around which side of the escarpment the lift is on.
Hamilton's harbour, rail yards and steel-processing plants put a lot of heavy, awkward loads in places a standard delivery truck cannot reach. That is the work a crane is for — setting a rooftop unit over a plant wall, landing a beam inside a fenced yard, or placing precast where the only open approach is from above.
The hard part in Hamilton is rarely the crane itself — it is the approach. Overhead wires, plant gates, parked equipment and a load that has to clear a wall all decide which machine can set up and where the outriggers can go.
Match the crane
The reach and the ground conditions decide whether a rough-terrain, all-terrain or boom truck is the right machine for the setup.
Plan the setup
Outrigger positions, access route and any rigging are worked out before the crane arrives on site.
Make the pick
The operator sets up, rigs the load and places it where the crew needs it, then the crane is recovered and moved off.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A rough-terrain crane is built to travel and set up on unimproved ground, which suits Hamilton plant yards and gravel lots where a boom truck would struggle. It carries its own counterweight and can pick from positions a road truck cannot reach.
All-terrain cranes travel on roads at highway speed and are the better choice when the crane has to move between Hamilton addresses in a day. Rough-terrain cranes are the pick when the setup is on dirt, gravel or a site that a road crane cannot enter.
It is a shorthand for keeping three feet of clearance from power lines, three feet from the edge of an excavation, and three feet between the load and any obstruction. On Hamilton industrial sites with overhead lines, that clearance is the first thing we check.
A rough-terrain crane is one type of mobile crane. Mobile crane is the broad category that also includes all-terrain, truck-mounted and boom truck cranes, and the right one depends on the ground and the travel.
A self-erecting tower crane folds out and raises its own mast and jib using onboard hydraulics, so it does not need a separate assist crane to erect it. That makes it useful on Hamilton sites where there is no room for a second machine.
Rigging is the slings, shackles and hardware that connect the load to the crane hook; hoisting is the act of lifting and moving it. Both are part of the lift plan, and the rigging has to match the load and the pick point.
When the operator cannot see the load or the landing point, a signal person relays the moves. On plant sites and tight residential streets, that is often the case, and the crew on site usually fills that role.
The unit weight, the roof height, the distance from the crane setup to the curb, and any overhead obstructions. With those, we can confirm the crane size and whether a spreader bar or custom rigging is needed.
Yes, if the crane can set up outside the fence and reach over it. We check the fence height, the load path and the landing point before the lift, and the steel crew directs the placement.
