Large cranes (150+ ton) at a glance
- Typical capacity: roughly 150 tons and up, into the hundreds of tons for the largest all-terrain and crawler cranes
- Typical reach: roughly 200 feet and beyond, depending on boom and jib configuration
- Setup & transport: large all-terrains typically need several support trucks for counterweight; crawler cranes are hauled in pieces and assembled on site, which can take a day or more and needs room for assembly
Good fits: heavy industrial and process equipment; large steel, precast, and tilt-up packages; long-duration crane support on big projects; tandem or critical lifts with a written lift plan.
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 Mesa
- Elliot Road corridor and Gateway: Large industrial and data center sites often require badging, safety orientation, and a lift plan before the crane works. Build that into your schedule.
- Near Gateway and Falcon Field: Mesa has two airports. Cranes nearby may need advance FAA notice depending on height and location; the crane company or general contractor typically handles it.
- Street setups: Using a Mesa street or sidewalk for the crane generally requires a right-of-way permit from the City of Mesa.
What does large crane rental cost in Mesa?
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, and long-duration cranes (weeks or months) on weekly or monthly rates quoted per job.
