The Equipment
Operated & Maintained — Never Bare Rental
When you hire a crane from us, you get the machine and the crew. Our operator runs the lift, our maintenance keeps the machine right, and the plan is worked out before anything leaves the ground. You are not signing for a piece of iron and figuring out the rest.
-
Liebherr Cranes
Our Liebherr machines handle the bulk of the work — oil field locations, commercial steel and structural sets, and tight residential placements. Rented operated and maintained, never bare.
-
Manitex Boom Truck
Road-legal and quick to set up, the boom truck is the right call for shorter reaches, roof-top sets, HVAC units and jobs where a full crane is more machine than the lift needs.
Not sure which machine your lift needs? Call (620) 356-3663 and describe the load — we will tell you what fits and what it costs.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between operated rental and bare rental?
Bare rental gives you a machine and leaves the operator, the rigging plan, the maintenance and the liability to you. Operated and maintained rental — what we do — sends the crane out with a certified operator who runs the lift, on a machine our own shop keeps right.
Which service do I need?
Describe the lift and we will tell you. Broadly: lease and location work is oil field, contractor and plant work is commercial, anything around a house is residential, placing a home is home setting, and if it has to happen now it is emergency.
What does a crane cost per day?
It depends on the machine, the time on site and the travel, so a per-day figure quoted blind would be meaningless. Quotes are free and come back within 24 hours guaranteed — call (620) 356-3663.
Do you offer roll-off service as well?
Call and ask — (620) 356-3663. Our crane work is what this site covers in detail.
