Common Tempe jobs

  • Glass and façade panels
  • Equipment for labs and campus 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 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Usually, if the crane or its outriggers will occupy a street, lane, or sidewalk. Check with the City of Tempe about street-use permits and traffic control, and ask your crane company or general contractor who will pull it. Downtown setups can take extra lead time.

Can a crane set up near the Tempe Streetcar?

Sometimes, with planning. The streetcar’s overhead wires and track lanes limit where a crane can set up and swing. Mention the location and the crane company will tell you what coordination is needed.

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.
