Southwest Kansas
Residential Crane Services in Ulysses, KS
Careful lifts around houses, yards and tight town lots — planned so nothing gets damaged and nobody has to guess.
A residential lift is a small job with big consequences. The load might only weigh a few thousand pounds, but it is travelling over a roof, a fence, a power line and somebody's landscaping. We treat those picks with the same planning as a plant job, because the cost of getting one wrong is somebody's home.
Around the House
Residential Lifts We Handle
If it has to go over the house instead of through the gate, it is probably a crane job. The boom truck handles most residential work — it sets up fast, takes less room on the street, and is usually the cheaper answer.
Before we book, we will want to know what is overhead. Power lines are the single most common reason a residential lift needs rethinking, and that conversation belongs on the phone, not in the driveway.

Setting Homes
Manufactured & Modular Home Placement
Setting homes is a long-standing part of what we do — the old site put it plainly as "everything from setting up homes to working in oil fields". If you are placing a manufactured or modular home, that work has its own page with the detail on foundations, access and scheduling.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to crane a hot tub over a fence?
It depends on the weight, the reach over the obstacle and where we can legally set the machine — a straightforward set on an accessible street is a short job. Call (620) 236-9880 with the details and the quote is free.
What do you need to know before quoting a residential lift?
The weight of the load, how far it has to travel from where the truck can park to where it has to land, and what is in the air on the way — power lines, trees and rooflines especially. Photos help.
Will the crane damage my driveway or yard?
Where the machine sets is part of the plan, and cribbing spreads the load. Tell us about soft ground, septic, sprinklers or a new drive when you call so we can set up somewhere sensible rather than discovering it on the day.
Do you set manufactured and modular homes?
Yes — see our manufactured home setting page. Setting homes has been part of this business for decades.
