Serving Burlington, VT

Burlington is Vermont’s biggest construction market, and we’re in it. We’re based in Swanton — about 45 minutes north on I-89 — and we make regular runs to Burlington and the surrounding metro for crane rental and lifting services on commercial builds, residential projects, and specialty lifts that the local options can’t always handle.

If you’re managing a job in Burlington and you need a crane company that shows up prepared, call us at (802) 370-5361).

What You Get With a Mobile Crane

A mobile crane is a crane built on a truck or a wheeled carrier. It can drive to your site, set up, make the lift, and move to the next spot in the same day. The big reason contractors call for one is reach and weight. A mobile crane can pick a heavier load and set it farther away than a boom truck, which matters when you are landing trusses on a wide building or swinging steel into the middle of a frame.

When you rent from us, you get the crane and a crane rental with operator. You are not renting a bare machine and finding someone to run it. Our operator handles the setup, the picks, and the breakdown, and works with your crew on the ground the whole time.

Here is what a mobile crane is a good fit for:

• Setting roof trusses on homes, garages, additions, and pole barns
• Lifting and placing steel beams
• Setting modular home sections
• Placing rooftop HVAC units on commercial buildings
• Moving heavy material to a spot a smaller machine cannot reach

Why Contractors Around Franklin County Call Us

Most crane companies that cover this area are based down in Burlington or farther south. When they drive a crane north, you often pay a travel charge and wait on their schedule. We are in Swanton. For most jobs in St. Albans, Georgia, Fairfax, Highgate, Milton, and the towns nearby, we are close, which means a faster yes and no long-haul fee tacked onto your bill.

The other thing you get is a straight answer. We confirm the crane, the day, and the price before we ever roll out. Your trusses are delivered, your crew is booked, and your week is built around that lift. We treat it that way. We show up on time and ready, because a crane that does not show up is the one thing that can blow up your whole schedule.

What We Need to Give You a Price

You do not need engineering drawings to get a quote. A few details get us most of the way:

• What you are lifting and roughly how heavy it is (truss count and span, beam size, unit weight)
• How far the crane needs to reach to set the load
• What the site is like: driveway, ground, slope, and anything overhead like wires or trees
• The day or week you are aiming for

Call us with that and we can usually give you a same-day quote, or get one to you fast. If you would rather text or send photos of the site, that works too.

Mobile Crane Rental FAQs

Do I get an operator with the crane? Yes. Every mobile crane rental comes with a trained operator. We do not drop off a bare crane. Our operator runs the lift and works with your crew on the ground.

Can your crane reach my site if the driveway is soft or narrow? Often, yes, but it depends on the crane and the access. That is why we ask about your driveway, ground, and slope before we quote. We pick a crane that can get in and set up safely instead of guessing on lift day.

Do you charge a travel fee to come to Franklin County? For most jobs in our local service area around Swanton and St. Albans, no long-haul travel charge. Being based here is the whole point. If a job is far outside our area, we will tell you up front.

How far ahead should I book? The building season here is short and busy, so the spring through fall window fills up. The sooner you call with your lift date, the better your odds of getting the day you want. We will still try to help on short notice when we can.
