Crane Rental

Crane rental costs vary based on several factors including crane type, capacity, rental duration, project location, and site conditions. At TNT Crane & Rigging, we provide customized quotes based on your specific project requirements, as factors like mobilization distance, operator needs, and required configurations all influence the final cost. Contact our team for a detailed estimate tailored to your lifting needs.

TNT Crane & Rigging operates a modern fleet of over 700 cranes ranging from 1 ton to 900 tons in lifting capacity. Our fleet includes mobile truck-mount cranes for versatile applications, hydraulic all-terrain cranes combining road mobility with off-road capability, rough-terrain cranes designed for challenging ground conditions, crawler cranes offering superior stability and weight-bearing capacity, and tower cranes for high-rise construction. Each crane type serves specific project needs, and our experienced team helps match the right equipment to your requirements.

Selecting the right crane requires careful consideration of your load weight, lift height, lift radius, site access conditions, and ground bearing capacity. At TNT Crane & Rigging, our knowledgeable sales representatives conduct detailed site assessments to determine the optimal crane configuration for your project. We evaluate factors including overhead clearances, jobsite restrictions, and project timelines to recommend equipment that safely and efficiently meets your lifting requirements. Our team provides free consultations to ensure you get the right crane the first time.

Yes, all TNT Crane & Rigging crane rentals include certified, experienced operators who hold NCCCO and NCCER certifications as required by federal OSHA regulations under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. Our operators undergo continuous training through our operator evaluation program and are qualified to safely operate each specific crane type. Every operator is certified, competent, and properly trained to ensure your lifting operations comply with all safety standards and manufacturer specifications.

While TNT Crane & Rigging carries comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability and equipment protection, most projects require renters to maintain their own general liability insurance with typical minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. Many projects also require riggers liability insurance to cover property being lifted, and additional umbrella coverage may be needed for high-value or complex projects. Your specific insurance requirements depend on project type, contract terms, and local regulations, and we work with you to ensure all coverage requirements are properly addressed.

A lift plan is required for every crane lift to ensure safe operations and OSHA compliance under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC. Standard lifts require basic documentation covering load weight, crane configuration, radius, and site conditions, while critical lifts, such as those exceeding 75% of rated capacity, operating outside the operator’s view, or involving multiple cranes, require detailed engineered lift plans reviewed by qualified professionals. TNT Crane & Rigging provides comprehensive lift planning services, including site analysis, capacity calculations, rigging specifications, and engineering support to ensure your lifting operations meet all safety and regulatory requirements.

We recommend booking your crane rental as early as possible to ensure equipment availability and allow adequate time for planning, permitting, and site preparation. For standard projects, scheduling one to two weeks in advance is advisable, while larger or more complex lifts requiring specialized equipment or extensive planning may need several weeks to months advance notice. At TNT Crane & Rigging, we also offer emergency and short-notice services when unexpected needs arise, and our extensive fleet across 40+ locations provides flexibility to accommodate urgent requests whenever possible.

Site preparation is critical for safe crane operations and requires firm, drained, and graded ground conditions that meet OSHA requirements under 29 CFR 1926.1402. The ground must support the crane and load forces, potentially requiring crane mats or outrigger pads based on soil bearing capacity. You must provide clear access routes with adequate width and turning radius for crane delivery, ensure overhead clearances are free from power lines and obstructions within 20 feet minimum distance, and identify underground utilities, voids, or hazards. TNT Crane & Rigging conducts pre-lift site assessments to verify conditions meet manufacturer specifications and regulatory standards, and we work with you to address any site preparation needs before crane arrival.

Setup time varies significantly based on crane size and complexity, with mobile cranes typically requiring 30 minutes to 2 hours for basic setup including outrigger deployment and positioning. Larger cranes requiring counterweight installation can take 2 to 4 hours or more depending on site conditions and access constraints. Crawler cranes may require additional setup time for track configuration and leveling, while tower cranes can take 2 to 3 days for complete assembly. At TNT Crane & Rigging, our experienced crews efficiently handle all setup procedures, and we provide detailed timelines during project planning to ensure your lift schedule accounts for complete mobilization, setup, operations, and demobilization requirements.
