80-120 Ton Crane Rental in Phoenix

In Phoenix, 80–120 ton all-terrains are common downtown, where the crane often has to set up on the street and reach over a building to the set point.

Tell us what you need and we’ll line up the right 80–120 ton crane with the vetted local crane companies we work with in Phoenix, covering Downtown Phoenix, the Sky Harbor area, Deer Valley, and the I-17 / Loop 303 corridor. Typical customers here include distribution and industrial parks, downtown office and residential towers, hospitals, airport-area logistics, and the large manufacturing projects in north Phoenix.

Common Phoenix jobs

  • Rooftop HVAC and equipment sets on commercial buildings

80–120 ton cranes at a glance

  • Typical capacity: roughly 80 to 120 tons rated
  • Typical reach: roughly 140 to 200 feet of main boom on many units, with jib options for more height
  • Setup & transport: drives to the site, but heavier configurations often need one or more support trucks to bring counterweight, which adds setup time and cost

Good fits: heavy rooftop units and chillers at long radius; picks over buildings from the street or a parking lot; steel, precast, and tilt-up support; heavy mechanical and electrical equipment.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to set up a 80–120 ton crane on a street in downtown Phoenix?

Usually, if the crane or its outriggers will occupy a street, lane, or sidewalk. Check with the City of Phoenix about right-of-way permits and traffic control, and ask your crane company or general contractor who will pull it. Allow time for approval.

Does a crane near Sky Harbor need FAA approval?

It can. Depending on height and distance from the airport, a crane may need advance notice to the FAA. Your crane company or general contractor can tell you whether your lift triggers it and typically handles the filing.

Do I need a lift plan?

Lifts that are heavy relative to the crane’s capacity, over occupied areas, or near power lines often need a written lift plan. Many sites, especially industrial and semiconductor projects, require one regardless.
