Roof Truss & Framing Lifts

Framing crews without a crane risk damaging long-span trusses or injuring workers trying to hand-set them, and the wrong crane size on truss day means a stalled crew or a second mobilization.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Pre-Lift Site Review

    We walk the site with your framing crew before truss day to confirm ground bearing, overhead clearance, and the one crane position that reaches every truss bay.

  2. Step 02

    Crane Setup & Rigging

    The crane is positioned and rigged to match your truss spans, with slings or spreader bars set for truss length and roof pitch.

  3. Step 03

    Truss Placement & Sequencing

    Trusses are lifted and set bay-by-bay in the order your framing plan calls for, while your crew secures bracing as each one lands.

Questions about this service

What size crane do we need to lift roof trusses on a pole barn or agricultural building?

Crane size depends on truss span, weight, and how far the crane has to reach from its setup position to the roof line. We review your truss specs and site access before truss day to match the right crane.

How much room does a crane need on site to set roof trusses?

A crane needs a stable, level setup pad close enough to reach every truss bay without repositioning mid-lift. We walk the site in advance to confirm ground conditions and clearance from overhead lines or existing structures.

Can a crane set trusses before the walls are fully framed?

Yes, trusses can go up once the top plate is framed and braced enough to carry the load. We coordinate the lift sequence with your framing crew so bracing goes in as each truss is placed.

What do you need from us before a truss lift day?

We need the truss layout, span and weight specs, and site access details like driveway, soil, and overhead lines ahead of time. That lets us confirm crane size and rigging before the crew shows up.

How many trusses can be set in one mobilization?

That depends on truss count, spacing, and how long the crane can stay set up in one position. Multi-building or long-run projects are sequenced so the crane covers as many bays as possible before moving.

Do you provide a rigging crew, or just the crane and operator?

We bring the crane, operator, and rigging for the lift itself, while your framing crew handles bracing and fastening as trusses are set. We coordinate timing so both crews work the same sequence.
