Material Drops, Quick To The Roof

Most roofing jobs need a crane for a couple of hours to drop material on the roof and clear out. Our 18 to 40 ton boom trucks deploy quick, drop the bundles, pallets, or equipment, and clear quick so your crew keeps working. Residential and commercial both routine.

Single bundle to full pallet material drops.

Equipment hoists for HVAC and rooftop installs.

Residential and commercial roof access.

Bundles, Pallets, Equipment Hoists

Whether the job is a residential reroof, a commercial flat roof tear off, or a rooftop HVAC equipment hoist, the boom truck deploys fast and clears fast. NCCCO operators handle the lift, your roofing crew handles the install.

Roofing Crane Questions

Common questions about boom truck material drops for roofing contractors on the Gulf Coast.

Can you drop material on a residential or commercial roof?

Yes. Most commercial flat roofs and residential pitched roofs up to four or five stories are within reach of our 40 ton boom trucks at standard offset. Send the building height and any overhead obstructions. We confirm the right truck for the reach.

Can you handle full pallet drops?

Yes. Most roofing material pallets are within capacity of our 18 to 40 ton boom trucks. For single bundle drops, we run a smaller truck for a quicker dispatch. Send the pallet weight and we confirm the right truck.

How fast can you dispatch for a roofing material drop?

Same day for most calls in the New Orleans metro or the Acadiana area if we hear from you before noon. Next morning dispatch for late day calls or jobs farther out. We run on the roofing contractor's schedule.

Can you work in residential streets and small driveways?

Boom trucks are built for it. Most residential roofing jobs need a crane that fits in a driveway or street with limited setback. Send the driveway specs and we confirm the right truck. Standard outrigger pads, crane mats if the driveway is soft or sensitive.

What does insurance and COI look like for roofing contractor work?

We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for residential and commercial roofing 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.
