Operated lifts, rigging and planning
"Crane service" usually means more than the machine: a certified operator, rigging, a signal person and a plan for the lift. For most jobs — especially one-time lifts — an operated crane service is simpler and safer than renting bare.
Tell us what you're lifting and where. We pass the request to an independent crane company that provides operated service in the Lubbock area, and they handle the lift under their own contract with you.
- Maintained & operated crane service
- Rigging crews, signal persons and lift supervisors
- Lift plans for critical or multi-crane picks
- Machinery setting and equipment relocation
- Emergency and short-notice lifts, subject to availability

Safety questions to ask any crane provider
- Operator certification — OSHA requires construction crane operators to be certified by an accredited organization such as NCCCO (29 CFR 1926.1427).
- Inspection records — cranes must receive an annual comprehensive inspection (29 CFR 1926.1412).
- Insurance — request a certificate of insurance naming your company if required.
- Lift plan — for heavy, high or complex lifts, ask who prepares it and who supervises.
- Power lines — confirm the clearance plan if lines are anywhere near the work area.

Common questions
What does a crane service include?
Typically the crane, a certified operator, fuel and travel. Riggers, signal persons, lift plans and permits may be included or quoted separately — ask the provider to itemize.
Are the crane operators certified?
Federal OSHA rules require construction crane operators to be trained, certified by an accredited organization (such as NCCCO) and evaluated (29 CFR 1926.1427), and cranes to get an annual inspection (1926.1412). We only refer requests to licensed and insured providers; ask yours for operator certifications and a certificate of insurance.
How fast can I get a crane?
Many providers can schedule smaller lifts within days, and some handle urgent requests. Availability depends on the season and the crane size — put your date in the form and mention if it's urgent.
Do you handle the lift yourselves?

Is this service really free?
Yes. There is no charge to you for submitting a request or being matched. You only pay the crane company if you choose to hire them.
