All-Terrain Crane Rental in Tempe
In Tempe, all-terrain cranes are useful around ASU, downtown, and Tempe Town Lake, where the crane often has to set up in a tight street-side spot and reach well over a building.
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 Tempe, covering Downtown Tempe and Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, the ASU area, and south Tempe business parks. Typical customers here include mid-rise residential and office buildings, university and research buildings, lakefront mixed-use development, and older industrial and office parks in south Tempe.

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 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.
What does all-terrain crane rental cost in Tempe?
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.
