Choosing the Right Crane for Your Lift

When it comes to crane rental services in California, selecting the right crane can make or break your project. At Pierce Crane, we work closely with contractors, developers, and homeowners across the Central Valley and beyond to ensure every lift is safe, efficient, and executed without delays.

Here are the top factors to consider when choosing a crane:

1. Load WeightUnderstanding the exact weight of your load is critical. Our cranes range from 3-ton to 100-ton capacity, and choosing the wrong crane can lead to serious safety concerns.

2. Lift Height and RadiusThe higher and farther a load needs to travel, the more specialized the crane setup becomes. We assess your site's vertical and horizontal reach requirements to recommend the right boom and counterweight combination.

3. Job Site AccessibilityTight spaces, soft ground, or urban zones may limit the types of cranes we can bring in. We evaluate your job site in person to determine what equipment will fit and function best.

4. Project DurationWhether it’s a single-day lift or a multi-week project, we match you with the most efficient crane and crew for your timeline.

Choosing the right crane isn’t just about horsepower—it’s about having the right partner. At Pierce Crane, we guide our clients every step of the way.
