Our Fleet
We run a range of cranes, from boom trucks for quick sets to larger mobile cranes for heavy lifts and long reach. On a custom home, reach matters as much as weight, since the crane often has to lift over the house to set trusses or steel in the back. We pick the crane that fits the load and the reach. Tell us the weight, the height, and the spot, and we will send the right machine the first time. You can also rent a boom truck for smaller, faster jobs.
53 Years Incident-Free
Safety is the reason contractors keep our number. We have lifted thousands of loads across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island without a single safety incident. Behind that record:
- Operators certified by the NCCCO, the national standard for crane operators
- Cranes inspected every year by HESCO
- Full insurance, with certificates of insurance naming your GC when you need them
- A written lift plan before the crane leaves the yard
On a high-end home or a commercial site, that record means your lift and your property stay safe.
Custom Home and Residential Work
Glastonbury builds some of the finest homes in the region, and those homes need careful lifts. We set roof trusses, steel beams, and modular sections on custom builds across town. An experienced operator can place a truss clean over a finished wall or land a beam in a tight backyard without damage. We have done this work in Glastonbury for years, from Somerset Square to the riverfront neighborhoods.
Commercial and Biotech Corridor Work
Glastonbury is more than custom homes. The office and biotech corridor along the Connecticut River and near Somerset Square brings steady commercial work. These buildings need rooftop units set, equipment placed, and steel lifted for additions and fit-outs. Lab and biotech spaces often have heavy gear that has to be craned into place. We handle these lifts with the same care we bring to a custom home. We plan the reach, protect the site, and get the equipment where it needs to go.
Towns We Serve Near Glastonbury
From our East Hartford yard, we cover Glastonbury and the towns around it, including Rocky Hill and the rest of Hartford County. Wherever the job sits, we can get a crane there on time.
