Enter your load weight and lift radius to instantly see which crane fits your job and what it costs. Takes 10 seconds.
The total weight of everything being lifted — load, rigging, hook block, and any attachments.
The horizontal distance from the crane's centre of rotation to the load. The further the radius, the less a crane can lift.
We'll show you the right crane size, estimated starting price, and hourly rate. Call us to confirm and book.
Two numbers, that's it. No boom length, no rigging math — set your load weight and lift radius, and we'll tell you the crane and what it starts at.
Lifts at this weight and radius get matched to specialized equipment and a proper lift plan. That's routine work for us — it just isn't something a two-slider estimate can price honestly. Send us the site details and we'll come back with a firm number.
Estimates assume standard outrigger-extended 360° lift conditions and conservative working limits (85% of rated chart capacity). Final pricing depends on site conditions, travel distance, overtime hours, permits, and rigging requirements. Always confirm with a lift plan.

Two things drive it: the weight of your load and the lift radius — the horizontal distance from the crane's centre of rotation out to where the load has to land.
Radius matters more than most people expect. A crane that handles a load easily at 20 feet may not touch it at 60. Use the planner above for a starting point, then call us to confirm against your actual site conditions.
We match equipment to the job rather than fitting every job to a fixed fleet:
Coverage runs across Hamilton, Niagara, and the Greater Toronto Area.
It comes down to which crane the job needs and how long it's on site. Our standard rates:
Travel time, overtime outside regular hours, permits, and special rigging are additional. Use the estimator at the top of this page for your specific lift, then call for a firm quote.
The more of this you can give us up front, the faster we can confirm the right equipment:
Call us directly or use the contact form — either works.
It varies by municipality and job type. Road closures, lifts over public property, and work near utilities or airports may all require permits.
We'll flag what's needed as part of planning the lift and help coordinate where we can. Responsibility for permits is assigned on a per-job basis, as set out in our service terms.
Our operators retain the right to refuse or suspend work in unsafe conditions — high winds, lightning, or ice.
Lightning protocol requires work to stop when strikes are detected within 30 kilometres, with a minimum 30-minute clear period before resuming. We flag weather concerns early and work with you to reschedule wherever possible. Weather standby is billable at the crane's hourly rate, as set out in our service terms.
