Steel Erection Crane Questions
Common questions about boom truck lifts for steel erection contractors on the Gulf Coast.
Yes. Bundle lifts at the start of a steel phase and joist sets during framing are routine. Send the bundle or joist weight and the install location and we confirm the right boom truck. For oversized structural members, we coordinate with a sub crane.
Most construction sites have soft fill or unprepared pad conditions for outrigger placement. We bring crane mats sized to the truck and the load when the ground needs the load spread. Tell us the pad conditions and we plan the right ground bearing setup.
Yes. Steel erection runs on a tight lift sequence and the boom truck has to fit it. Tell us the sequence and the install window and we line up the dispatch to match. We have worked with most Gulf Coast steel crews.
Yes. For multi day steel projects, we coordinate dispatches across phases. Send the project schedule and lift sequence and we plan the boom truck dispatches across the build. Same NCCCO operator each day when possible.
We carry general liability and commercial auto coverage with limits sized for steel erection 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.
