Public Works, Permit Coordination, Disaster Response
Municipal lifts often need permits, police escorts, or lane closures. We work with your jurisdiction and traffic control to schedule the dispatch inside the window. After hurricane events, we run storm cleanup and utility support work prioritized for municipal needs.
Two services: operated crane work and rigging. Dispatched from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette - NCCCO certified operators, built around the Gulf Coast schedule.

Government And Municipal Crane Questions
Common questions about boom truck lifts for government and municipal projects on the Gulf Coast.
For lifts requiring lane closures, oversized loads, or right of way permits, we coordinate with your local jurisdiction. NOLA, Jefferson Parish, Lafayette, and most Gulf Coast cities are routine. We don't pull the permit ourselves but coordinate the timing and any escort or traffic control on your behalf.
Yes. We stage trucks before storms when forecasts allow, run priority dispatch on cleanup once it's safe, and work municipal and utility schedules first. Insurance cleared private response runs concurrently when crews are free.
Yes. Public works lifts cover municipal signage, utility pole and equipment sets, water and sewer infrastructure, and parks and recreation work. Send the project specs and we confirm the right boom truck and the coordination needed.
Yes. Most municipal lifts in occupied or high traffic areas run nights or weekends. Tell us the work window and we coordinate the dispatch around it. Standard hourly rates apply with after hours premiums quoted on the lift plan.
We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for municipal and public works contracts. We name your municipality or general contractor as additional insured on a per job basis. COI requests come back the same business day.
