Reach For The Antenna, Ground Bearing For The Pad

Cell tower work means height for the antenna and stable ground for the boom truck. Our 18 to 40 ton boom trucks reach up to 175 feet tip height for top hat antennas and microwave equipment. We bring crane mats for sandy or soft remote site pads where outriggers would sink.

Crane mats for remote and rural tower sites.

Antenna Reach, Pad Sets, Shelter Drops

Cell tower jobs run on the carrier's outage schedule. The boom truck arrives in the outage window, sets the antenna or shelter, and clears the site. We document the lift for FCC and carrier paperwork.

Operated Crane And Rigging

Two services: operated crane work and rigging. Dispatched from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette - NCCCO certified operators, built around the Gulf Coast schedule.

Fleet Capacity

Seven National Crane boom trucks from 18 to 40 tons. The right truck dispatched for the lift, every time, with NCCCO certified operators on board.

Areas We Serve

Three yards covering the Gulf Coast: New Orleans and the surrounding metro, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Southeast Texas. Most jobs are within two hours of a yard.

Process

How Heave-Ho Runs Cell Tower And Telecom Work

Four steps from the first call to the cleared site. Same approach on every cell tower and telecom dispatch from three yards.

Confirm The Lift Plan

Send the antenna or equipment weight, the tower height, the access road condition, and the outage window. We confirm the right boom truck and outrigger placement before scheduling the dispatch.

Roll The Truck

Boom truck arrives inside your outage window. Outriggers down on crane mats if the pad is soft, ground bearing checked, rigging staged with your tower crew. No surprises on site.

Make The Lift

NCCCO operator runs the lift from the truck. Antenna or shelter set in the install position. Tower crew handles the install and bolt up.

Clear The Site

Outriggers up, truck out, access path clear. Lift plan documented, COI confirmed, invoice follows the work.

Cell Tower And Telecom Crane Questions

Common questions about boom truck lifts for cell tower and telecom work on the Gulf Coast.

How high can your boom truck reach for antenna installs?

Our 40 ton boom trucks reach up to 175 feet tip height at standard offset. Send the tower height and the antenna position and we confirm the right truck for the reach. For higher tower work, we coordinate with a sub crane or sectional lift.

Can you work on remote or rural tower sites with soft ground?

Yes. Most remote tower sites have soft or sandy pad conditions. We bring crane mats sized to the truck and the load when the ground needs the load spread. Tell us the pad conditions when you quote so we plan the right ground bearing setup.

Do you coordinate around carrier outage windows?

Yes. Cell tower work runs on the carrier's outage window, not ours. Tell us the outage start and end and we line up the boom truck, the operator, and any rigging support inside that window. We confirm the dispatch the day before.

Can you set shelters and ground level equipment?

Yes. Cabinets, shelters, generators, and ground level equipment drops are common on tower sites. Send the shelter weight and dimensions and we confirm the right boom truck for the pad set.

What does insurance and COI look like for telecom carrier work?

We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for telecom contractor and carrier work. We name your company as additional insured on a per job basis at no extra cost. COI requests come back the same business day.
