Bakersfield Crane Rental is a free referral service. Tell us about the job and we pass it to independent local crane companies who quote you directly.
Mobile hydraulic cranes are the workhorses of most lifts in Kern County: rooftop HVAC units, steel beams, trusses, pumps and motors, tanks, pre-cast panels and machinery. They drive to the job, set outriggers, and are usually lifting within an hour of arriving.
Common sizes and what they handle
| Class | Typical jobs |
|---|---|
| 25 to 40 ton truck crane | HVAC units, residential trusses, light steel, pool and spa sets, sign work |
| 50 to 90 ton hydraulic | Commercial steel, larger rooftop units, pumps and compressors, pre-cast |
| 100 to 300+ ton all-terrain | Tanks and vessels, heavy industrial equipment, long-reach lifts, wind and utility work |
Capacity drops quickly as the boom extends. A 50-ton crane might lift only a few tons at 60 feet of radius, so size the crane to the heaviest item at the distance it must travel. Read the crane size guide.
What is usually included
- The crane and a certified operator, billed by the hour with a minimum (often 4 hours)
- Travel time to and from the yard, often charged portal to portal
- Standard rigging such as slings and shackles, depending on the provider
Extra items to ask about: an oiler or second hand for larger cranes, a rigger or signal person, counterweight trucks, mats for soft ground, and permits.
