Mobile cranes are self-propelled machines with telescoping or lattice booms for flexible lifting operations. Lifting capacities typically range from 5 tons to 500+ tons depending on configuration. Mobile cranes can be quickly relocated between job sites and require less setup time than tower cranes. Typical rental costs range from $150-$500+ per hour depending on crane capacity. Common boom lengths range from 80 to 300+ feet with various extensions. Mobile cranes require experienced NCCCO-certified operators for safe operation. These cranes are ideal for equipment placement, building demolition, bridge work, and maintenance tasks. They require level, stable ground and proper rigging. Common applications include industrial maintenance, power plant work, and heavy structural installation.
