Types of Cranes Used in Construction Projects

How do I know what size rental crane I need?

When working on a project that requires a heavy lifting, whether it’s residential landscaping or commercial construction, it’s necessary to rent a mobile crane that can handle the rigors of the job. However, mobile cranes come in many different sizes and it can be difficult to determine which size will be the right fit for your needs.

For a small-scale project, your best option may be to rent a 30-ton mobile crane in the Twin Cities. 30-ton cranes can easily navigate urban streets and are ideal for lifting small HVAC units, lighter steel beams, billboards, and roofing materials into place. In landscaping work, they’re also well-suited to tree removal, especially since these smaller cranes can fit into tight areas more easily than larger mobile cranes. For slightly heavier lifting tasks, such as placing a larger HVAC unit or heavier steel beams, consider renting a 45-ton crane.

When you have larger-scale construction tasks to accomplish and maneuverability is less of a concern, you’ll probably want to rent a 55-ton mobile crane for your Twin Cities project. There are many uses for a 55-ton crane on a construction site, including steel erection, bridge repairs, and moving heavy machinery into place.

Some construction projects demand lifting capabilities far beyond those of a 55-ton mobile crane. For these heavy-duty projects, you’ll want to rent a 175-ton crane. These large cranes can be used for such rigorous work as placing precast concrete, prefabricated steel buildings, bridges, and wind turbines.
