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 Scottsdale
- HOAs and gated communities: Many Scottsdale neighborhoods have HOA rules, work-hour limits, and guard gates. Arrange gate access and check HOA rules before the crane is scheduled.
- Finished surfaces: Pavers, decorative driveways, and landscaping often need mats or cribbing under the outriggers. Point them out so the crane company can protect them.
- Near Scottsdale Airport and Old Town: Cranes near the Airpark may need advance FAA notice depending on height. Old Town street setups generally need a right-of-way permit from the City of Scottsdale.
What does large crane rental cost in Scottsdale?
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.
