Some projects can’t be handled with your usual equipment, even if that equipment includes some heavy-duty items like backhoes and tractors. For certain projects, you need a crane, but you can’t buy one for occasional use. That’s where a licensed crane service comes into play. Read on to learn about three situations where you need to hire a crane service. 

3 Times When You Need to Hire a Crane Service

1. Installing HVAC

Installing HVAC systems, especially commercial ones, often requires the use of a crane. That’s because air conditioning and heating units for large buildings are frequently placed on the roof, and have to be lifted with a crane. If you live in an area where evaporative coolers are used, a crane may be needed even for residential installations, since they need to be on the roof as well. 

2. Remodels and Construction

Remodels, additions, and other construction projects often require crane service because of the size and weight of materials involved. If your project involves installing heavy-duty plumbing, like a sewer line or a septic tank, cranes can be used to lift the components into place and save labor. You can also use a crane to get weighty items like lumber, slab countertops, and bathtubs into place. 

3. Demolitions

Cranes are crucial to demolition projects, where the use of a wrecking ball may be necessary. There will also undoubtedly be heavy rubble and recyclables to haul away. You may need a crane to get hunks of concrete, buried plumbing, and other massive items into a dump truck for removal without compromising workers’ safety.
