A mobile crane drives to the job on its own wheels, sets up on outriggers and is ready to lift within about an hour of arriving. That makes it the default choice for most single-day commercial lifts in the St. Louis metro.
Takes about a minute. An operator will contact you.

Hydraulic truck cranes typically run from roughly 25 to 150 tons of lifting capacity, depending on the model and boom configuration.
River-bottom ground, older industrial sites and tight urban streets all shape how a crane is set up here, so a quick site description up front saves time.
Lifts that close a lane or sidewalk generally need a city or county permit, and crossings into the Illinois side of the metro can involve a second jurisdiction.
The right size depends on the weight of the load, how far from the crane it has to be placed (the radius) and how high it has to go. Give us those three numbers and the operator will size the crane, because capacity drops as the load moves further from the crane.
It needs room for the truck and for the outriggers to extend and sit on firm ground. Tell us about overhead lines, fences and tight access when you request a quote.
Price depends on the size of the crane, how long you need it, whether it comes with an operator and rigging, and how far it has to travel to your site. Most operators have a minimum number of hours, plus mobilization and any permit costs. We do not quote a flat number because it would be misleading; send your lift details and you will get a written estimate from an operator.

You will be working with one of our local partner crane crews in the St. Louis metro. They send you a written quote and handle the lift with their own crane, certified operator and insurance. Before the lift, ask for their certificate of insurance and operator certification; our partners will send them right away.
