All-Terrain Crane Rental in Phoenix

In Phoenix, all-terrain cranes are a common choice downtown and along the Camelback Corridor, where the crane drives in, sets up on the street, and reaches over a building, as well as for heavy equipment on north Phoenix industrial sites.

Tell us what you need and we’ll line up the right all-terrain 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
  • Steel, precast, and tilt-up support
  • Generator, transformer, and switchgear setting
  • Sign, glass, and façade lifts downtown

All-terrain cranes at a glance

  • Typical capacity: roughly 40 tons to 500+ tons rated, depending on the model
  • Typical reach: roughly 100 feet of main boom on smaller units to well over 200 feet on large ones, with jib extensions
  • Setup & transport: drives to the site under its own power; smaller units often carry their counterweight, while larger ones travel with part of it removed and need support trucks to bring it in

Good fits: heavy rooftop and mechanical equipment sets; long-reach picks over buildings from a street or parking lot; steel, precast, and tilt-up support on short-duration jobs; generator, transformer, and switchgear setting; lifts where the crane needs to arrive, pick, and leave the same day.

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.

What does all-terrain crane rental cost in Phoenix?

It varies with the crane, the hours, travel, crew, rigging, and the site. As a rough guide, our crane rental cost guide lists large all-terrain cranes at roughly ~$300 – $700+/hr, billed hourly or daily plus counterweight trucking. Smaller all-terrains are often quoted closer to truck-crane rates, and the largest units can run higher once transport and counterweight are included. Those are commonly cited ballpark ranges, not Phoenix quotes or a price offer. Ask about minimum hours and how travel is billed, and get a written quote for your lift.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to set up a all-terrain 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.

What makes a crane “all-terrain”?

An all-terrain crane has a multi-axle carrier that is road-legal on highways, plus all-wheel drive and steering for getting around a job site. It drives to the site like a truck crane but with more axles, capacity, and maneuverability.
