FAQs
DO YOU PROVIDE OPERATORS AND RIGGERS?
Yes, on every job. Our operators hold NCCCO certification, and rigging is part of the service, not a separate line item. We do not offer bare rentals.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRANE RENTAL AND RIGGING?
The crane does the lifting. Rigging is how the load gets attached to the hook: the slings, shackles, and spreader bars, plus the plan for where the weight sits. We handle both, so nobody on your crew has to guess.
