Crane Rental FAQ — Lake Charles, LA

Do you own the cranes? No. We are a quote-request/referral service. The partner crane company quotes and contracts with you directly.

Is the service free? Yes — it is free for anyone requesting a quote. Our crane partners may pay us for referrals. That payment does not change what you pay the crane company, and you are never obligated to hire them.

Who gets my request? One vetted, independent local crane partner that covers your location and lift. We don't send your request to multiple companies.

What information do I need for a quote? Load weight (and whether it's certified), dimensions, lift height, distance from where the crane can set up to where the load lands (radius), ground conditions, overhead obstructions or power lines, address, and date.

Does the operator need to be certified? For most construction work with cranes over 2,000 lb capacity, OSHA requires operator certification for the equipment type (e.g., NCCCO) or an audited employer qualification. [RESEARCH: any Louisiana-specific licensing.]

How close can a crane work to power lines? OSHA 1926 Subpart CC sets minimum clearances (at least 20 ft for lines up to 350 kV unless specific procedures are followed). [RESEARCH: Louisiana overhead power line statute.]

How fast will I hear back? [CONFIRM with partner before launch.]
