24/7 Emergency Crane Service in Ulysses, KS
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If it is down, stuck or unsafe now, call and we will tell you honestly how fast we can be there.
24/7 emergency crane service out of Ulysses, KS, for the calls that cannot wait for Monday. Most crane work is scheduled. The calls that matter most are not. Equipment fails at three in the morning, storms take things down on a Sunday, and a load ends up somewhere it should not be. The number on this page reaches someone who can actually put a crane on the road.
How It Works
Emergency Crane Service, Day or Night
Emergency crane service is the same operated crane we send on a scheduled job, dispatched faster. You call, a person answers, we work out the lift on the phone, and a crane heads your way. Every one goes out operated and maintained, so you are not hunting for someone to run it at midnight.
Our operators are certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), and that does not change because the clock says 2 a.m.
- One number, any hour: (620) 356-3663
- Second line: (620) 353-3459
When to Call
Breakdowns, Storm Damage and Recovery Lifts
If you are asking yourself whether it counts as an emergency, call and describe it. It costs nothing to find out, and we would rather talk you out of a mobilisation you do not need than miss one you do.
Storm calls have a season out here. Spring and early summer storms tend to build through the afternoon and arrive in the evening, so a lot of fallen-tree and wind-damage calls come after dark. A tree on a house is residential crane work on a short clock. So is a down compressor on a lease, which is oil field crane work with a crew waiting.
- Equipment down: a unit that has to come out and be replaced before production restarts
- Rig or plant stoppage: a lift standing between a crew and getting back to work
- Storm and wind damage: trees, structures, signage and roof units
- Recovery lifts: equipment, trailers or loads that have ended up off the road or off the pad
- Anything unsafe: a load or structure that needs supporting or lowering now
On the Phone
Emergency Lift Questions We Ask First
On an emergency call we ask a short list of questions: what it is, what it weighs, where it is, what is overhead, and whether anyone is in danger. Then we tell you what we can bring and how long it will take.
We will also tell you if we are not the right answer. A crane is not always the tool, and on a genuine emergency the worst outcome is a machine arriving that cannot do the job.
On Site
What Happens When the Emergency Crane Arrives
The operator looks at the scene before anything else. Ground, overhead, what is holding the load right now. Then the crane sets up and the lift happens, at a pace set by safety rather than by how late it is.
Plant and contractor sites get the same treatment when a commercial lift goes sideways in the middle of a schedule.
The Number
What After-Hours Crane Work Costs
After-hours and emergency mobilisation is priced differently from scheduled work, and we will tell you what it costs before we roll. We do not use an emergency as a reason to be vague about the number.
If it can wait a day, a scheduled lift is the cheaper answer, and you get a quotation within 24 hours guaranteed.
