25–30 ton cranes at a glance
- Typical capacity: roughly 25 to 30 tons rated for truck cranes; carry-deck and industrial cranes are typically smaller but can pick and carry a load short distances
- Typical reach: roughly 90 to 110 feet of main boom on many truck cranes, more with a jib; carry-deck booms are much shorter
- Setup & transport: truck cranes drive to the site and set up on outriggers quickly; carry-deck cranes are typically hauled on a trailer and work on firm, level surfaces
Good fits: mid-size rooftop units and condensers; generators, transformers, and switchgear on smaller projects; moving equipment around a plant or yard (carry-deck); trusses, beams, and steel on light commercial buildings; palm trees, boxed trees, and pool shells set over a house, where reach allows.
Those are headline figures; capacity drops sharply as the load moves farther from the crane, so the crane company sizes it from its load charts using your weight, distances, and site.
Planning a lift in Tempe
- Street-use permits: Tight downtown and lakefront sites often mean the crane sets up in the street. That usually needs a street-use or right-of-way permit and a traffic control plan from the City of Tempe, so start early.
- Streetcar and light rail: The Tempe Streetcar and light rail run along several downtown streets, adding overhead wires, lane limits, and coordination for setups nearby.
- Campus and event areas: Work near ASU and around Town Lake may have to avoid class changes, games, and events. Mention the location so the timing can be planned.
