What We Pick
Commercial Crane Services for Steel, HVAC and Tanks
Commercial crane services come in a handful of job shapes, and the difference between a good day and a bad one is almost always in the planning: where the crane sets, what the ground will take, and what is in the air above the pick.
Every machine goes out with our own operator, the same operated crane rental we run for every customer, so you are not staffing a crane crew for a one-day set.
- Structural steel: beams, joists, trusses and pre-engineered building components
- Mechanical and HVAC sets: roof-top units, chillers and equipment through openings
- Tanks and vessels: setting, moving and change-outs
- Municipal and utility work: water and utility infrastructure, and the awkward one-off picks
- Sign, canopy and precast placement, including tight in-town sites
When Contractors Call
Contractor, Plant and Municipal Crane Jobs
Commercial work out here is not all main street. A lot of it sits next to a grain elevator, a feedyard or a processing plant, with trucks that keep rolling while the crane is set up. You plan the pick around the traffic, not the other way round.
Typical calls: a steel erector short a crane for a building shell, a mechanical contractor with roof-top units to set, a plant swapping out a tank, a city crew with a water project. Oil and gas operators have their own page for lease and location lifts, and homeowners have one for around-the-house crane work.
Planning the Lift
Commercial Lift Planning From the Drawings Up
Send us the drawings or just describe the load. We would rather spend twenty minutes on the phone before the day than an hour on site working out that the machine cannot reach.
We are a small, family-owned outfit, which cuts both ways and we would rather be plain about it. You will not get a national dispatch centre and a portal. You get the same people quoting, scheduling and running the lift, and the person who priced the job is the person who knows the job.
On Site
How Crane Day Runs on Your Commercial Job Site
We work as the lifting contractor on the job: in early, set up where we said we would, pick what needs picking, and off the site so the next trade can move. Every lift is run by an operator certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO).
If the schedule slips, call. We run 24/7, and a phone that gets answered at any hour matters most on the day things go sideways.
- Operated and maintained: the machine and the crew arrive together
- 24/7 availability, including the calls that come after the schedule slips
- English and Spanish spoken on the crew

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work to a construction schedule?
Yes. Tell us the window and what has to be in place before we pick, and we will plan the mobilisation around it. Where a job needs multiple visits, we would rather book them together up front.
Do you quote commercial crane services from drawings?
Send what you have: drawings, a load list, or just weights and reaches in an email to info@kwcranes.com. If something is missing we will call and ask rather than guess.
Do you do municipal and utility work?
Yes. Water infrastructure, utility work and the one-off picks that come with public projects are regular work for us.
Can you help after hours if a commercial lift goes wrong?
Yes. Our emergency crane service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (620) 356-3663.
Can I rent the crane without your operator?
No. Every crane goes out operated and maintained, with our operator on the machine.
