How far in advance should I schedule a crane rental?

As soon as possible, ideally a week or two ahead for larger projects. That said, jobs come up unexpectedly, and we do our best to accommodate short-notice requests, including same-day rates when availability allows.

What areas do you serve?

We primarily serve projects within a 60-mile radius of Lancaster, PA, with Lancaster and the surrounding communities as our core coverage area. If you are outside that range, call us to discuss your project.

Do you assist with permits and site planning?

We can help guide you through the permitting process and coordinate with your team to make sure the site is prepared for a safe, efficient lift. Let us know what support you need.

How do you determine pricing?

Rates are based on crane capacity, rental duration, job complexity, and location. Every quote is fixed once agreed, with a locked fuel surcharge, so the price does not shift once work begins.

Do you work with tree services?

Regularly, including our sister company, BTS Tree Services, for crane-assisted removals across Lancaster County.

How long can I keep a crane on-site?

We offer both short-term and long-term crane rentals. Whether you need a crane for a few hours, a full day, or several weeks, we can build a schedule that fits your project timeline.

What happens if weather conditions change on the day of the lift?

Safety comes first. If high winds, lightning, or other unsafe conditions are present, we may delay or reschedule the lift. We monitor weather conditions closely and communicate with you as early as possible.

What site conditions are required for a crane setup?

The crane needs adequate space for setup and stable ground conditions. We assess access, slope, overhead obstacles, underground utilities, and the area needed for outriggers before the lift is scheduled.

Is a minimum rental time required?

Most crane rentals have a minimum service period, which varies depending on the crane size and the type of work involved. Contact us with your project details, and we can provide the specific minimum for your job.
