Crane Services and Heavy Lifting
Green Mountain Crane Service handles crane services and heavy lifting across Vermont. We are based in Swanton, in the heart of Franklin County, and a certified operator runs every lift we do. Whether you are setting roof trusses on a new home, placing steel on an addition, or lifting a rooftop unit, we bring the right crane and a straight price. Tell us about the job and we will take care of the lift.
What We Lift
We are a full-service crane company for residential, commercial, and agricultural jobs. We lift the heavy and awkward loads that a build runs into, from roof trusses and steel beams to HVAC units, precast, and modular sections. Every job gets the same plan: the right crane for the load, a firm date, and a price with no surprises. If you have a load and a place it needs to go, we can usually handle it.
Crane Rental With Operator
Most of our work is crane rental with operator. We drive the crane to your site, set it up, and run the pick from start to finish. This is not a bare rental that you have to staff yourself. You get a trained operator who has worked sites like yours, so the lift goes safely and stays on schedule. You book the date, and we show up ready to lift.
Roof Truss Setting
We handle roof truss setting for homes, additions, garages, pole barns, and light commercial builds. The operator brings each truss up to your wall, and your crew guides it into place and fastens it. We map the pick radius and the crane spot before lift day, so your framing crew is not standing around. When the trusses go up fast, the rest of your build stays on track.
Steel Beam Lifting
We lift and set steel for additions and commercial frames. Our steel beam lifting matches the crane to the beam weight and the reach, so the pick has the capacity it needs. We set each beam to your marks and keep your steel crew moving. If the reach is long or the beam is heavy, we bring a crane that can handle it.
HVAC and Rooftop Units
We lift HVAC units, rooftop equipment, and other heavy loads onto roofs and set them in place. We plan the reach and the setup spot first, so the unit lands where it needs to go. We handle tight city lots and older buildings where access is not simple, which comes up often on jobs around St. Albans and Burlington.
Precast and Material Lifting
We set precast concrete pieces and lift heavy building materials like beams, panels, and prefabricated sections. If a load is too heavy or too high to move by hand, we place it for you. We plan each pick around the weight and the site, so the setup stays solid even on soft or uneven ground.
Heavy Machinery Lifting
We move and place heavy machinery and equipment for farms, shops, and industrial sites. We plan the lift around the weight, the reach, and the ground under the crane, since soft or uneven pads change how we set up and level. Agricultural lifts are a steady part of our work across Franklin County.
Modular Home Setting
We set modular home sections with the careful picks and sequencing the job needs. Our operator has done it before, which keeps the set moving and the modules tight. We handle the lift while your crew handles the connections.
Crane Tree Removal
When a large tree or trunk has to come down near a house or building, a crane is often the safest way to remove it in sections. We work alongside tree crews and handle the lift while they handle the cutting, so the removal stays controlled from the first cut to the last.
A Certified Operator on Every Job
Every lift we run is handled by a certified operator. That matters on a job site, where a dropped load or a tipped crane is a serious risk. We plan the pick, size the crane to the load, and set up on solid ground. We carry the right insurance, and we can provide documentation before work starts when your commercial client needs proof of coverage.
