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 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.
