Dockside Lifts, Vessel Side Staging, Tide Windows
Marine work runs on the tide and the vessel's window, not the contractor's. Our 18 to 40 ton boom trucks work dockside, on bulkheads, and at vessel side staging. We coordinate the dispatch with the tide schedule and the vessel's berth window so the lift runs on water time.

Marine Crane Questions
Common questions about boom truck lifts for marine and barge work on the Gulf Coast.
Yes. Most public docks, private bulkheads, and working waterfront sites are within reach of our 18 to 40 ton boom trucks at standard offset. Send the dock or bulkhead specs and any height or access restrictions. We confirm the right truck for the lift.
Yes. Marine work runs on the tide, not on our schedule. Tell us the tide start and end and we line up the boom truck and the rigging support inside that window. For multi tide work, we schedule across multiple dispatches.
Yes. Vessel side staging and barge equipment sets are routine. Send the vessel berth schedule, the equipment weight, and the position we're setting to. We confirm the boom truck reach and the lift sequence.
Our boom trucks are inspected regularly and run in Gulf Coast salt air conditions year round. Outriggers and ground bearing get extra attention on bulkheads and soft dock pads. Standard crane mats available for soft ground.
We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for marine contractor 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.
