How it works
Crane and Rigging Services
Rough-terrain crane rental for picks on unpaved or uneven ground: truss and framing lifts, HVAC and rooftop unit sets, steel and precast placements, equipment offloads and general construction lifts where the crane has to reach the set-up point over dirt, gravel or graded fill.
Rough-terrain crane rental for picks on unpaved or uneven ground: truss and framing lifts, HVAC and rooftop unit sets, steel and precast placements, equipment offloads and general construction lifts where the crane has to reach the set-up point over dirt, gravel or graded fill.
The lift is on ground that is not a paved road or a prepared slab, and the crane still has to get close enough to make the pick. Rough-terrain cranes exist for exactly that gap — they travel over the surface and lift from outriggers once they are in position.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A rough-terrain crane is one type of mobile crane. The difference is the carrier: a rough-terrain crane rides on large rubber tyres with a single operator cab and is built to travel over dirt, gravel and graded fill, while a truck-mounted crane is built for road travel and needs firmer ground at the set-up point.
It needs ground that can carry the outrigger loads once the pads are down — compacted gravel, packed dirt or graded fill usually works. Loose fill, soft spots and ground over buried services are checked before the crane is positioned, and the outrigger spread is laid out so the crane sits level.
It can travel over unpaved ground to reach the set-up point, which is why it suits lots that are still gravel or graded fill. Whether it can get in depends on the entry width, any overhead lines and where the outriggers can land, so those are confirmed from the site before the crane is dispatched.
The piece weight, the radius from the crane position to the pick, the lift height and what the surface is where the crane will stand. If there are overhead lines, a slope or a soft spot near the set-up, that matters too — it changes where the crane can be positioned.
It is chosen from the load chart for the radius and height of that specific pick, not from the machine that happens to be closest. If the numbers do not work for the ground and the reach, we say so before the crane is booked rather than after it arrives.
Yes. The operator works to the agreed lift plan with whoever is running the pick on site, and the set-up and outrigger positions are confirmed before the first lift. If something changes on the day, the lift is re-checked before it continues.
