Sign Installation Crane Questions
Common questions about boom truck lifts for sign installation contractors on the Gulf Coast.
Our 40 ton boom trucks reach up to 175 feet tip height at standard offset. Most overhead highway signs, billboard panels, and monument tops are within reach. Send the install height and the offset and we confirm the right truck for the reach before we schedule.
Yes. For highway sign work requiring lane closures or shoulder work, we coordinate with your sign contractor and traffic control. We don't pull the permit but we line up the dispatch around the permit window. NOLA, Jefferson Parish, Lafayette, and most Gulf Coast jurisdictions are routine.
Yes. Billboard panel sets and full structure installs are routine. Send the panel or structure weight and the install height. For oversized billboards, we coordinate the lift in sections or work with a sub crane.
