STEP 1 OF 6
// STEP 01 — LOAD TYPE
What are you setting?
This determines capacity requirements and which equipment is eligible for your job.
Transformer / UPS Unit
Electrical distribution, battery backup. 500lbs – 8,000lbs. Often placed in finished mechanical rooms.
🔌
Switchgear / Panel
Electrical panels, switchboards, breaker assemblies. Tight corridor and finished-floor installs.
❄️
HVAC / Cooling Unit
Chillers, CRACs, CDUs, rooftop units. Data center, commercial, and industrial installs.
🏗️
Modular / Generator / Structural
Prefab modules, generators, steel assemblies, heavy mechanical equipment.
📦
Other / Not Listed
Tell us your load — we'll match the right equipment based on weight and access.
// STEP 02 — SITE ACCESS
What's the access situation?
This is where most crane decisions go wrong. Access width determines what can physically reach the load — and what permits you actually need.
🚪
Indoor — Tight Access
Standard doorways (32"–36"), corridors, finished floors. Conventional crane physically cannot enter.
🏢
Indoor — Open Floor
Large bay, loading dock, or open atrium. Multiple equipment options available.
🏙️
Rooftop / Elevated
Rooftop placement. No street crane access. Equipment must travel via elevator or stairwell.
🌐
Outdoor / Open Site
Yard, pad, or exterior placement with street access. Most options available but cost varies widely.
// STEP 03 — DURATION
How long do you need the equipment?
Includes setup, placement ops, and de-rig. Most single installs run 3–10 days.

// STEP 04 — TECHNICAL SPECS
Tell us about the lift itself.
This is what a crane salesperson needs to confirm the right equipment and verify you're within safe working load limits. The more accurate, the better your output.
All fields optional — skip if not yet known. We use this data to verify equipment fit and flag any safety considerations before quoting.
// STEP 05 — TIMELINE
When does this lift need to happen?
Urgency changes which options are actually available to you right now — and the real cost of waiting.
🔴
ASAP / Within 2 Weeks
Conventional crane permits alone take 2–4 weeks. You may be out of conventional options already.
🟡
Within 30 Days
Enough lead time for most options. Permit timelines can still slip on conventional.
🟢
Planning Phase / 60+ Days
Best position. You have time to spec the right option and build real savings into the bid.
