40–60 ton cranes at a glance
- Typical capacity: roughly 40 to 60 tons rated
- Typical reach: roughly 100 to 140 feet of main boom on many units, with a jib for extra height
- Setup & transport: road-legal; typically drives to the site and sets up on outriggers without extra trucks, though some configurations bring added counterweight
Good fits: larger rooftop units and multi-unit change-outs; generators, transformers, and switchgear; structural steel, joists, and precast pieces; trusses and panels on larger buildings; inverters, transformers, and equipment skids on solar projects.
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 Phoenix
- Downtown streets: Setting up on a downtown street or sidewalk usually means a right-of-way permit from the City of Phoenix, and often traffic control. Light rail lines add overhead wires and lane limits on some streets.
- Near Sky Harbor and Deer Valley: Cranes near an airport may need advance notice to the FAA based on height and location. The crane company or general contractor typically handles the filing, but it takes lead time.
- North Phoenix industrial sites: Big sites along I-17 and Loop 303 often require safety orientation and site-specific rules before a crane can work.
