Four cranes: a National NBT40-1 boom truck, a 60 ton Link-Belt, a Link-Belt HTC-8690 truck crane with 140 feet of main boom, and a Kobelco CK1100G crawler that reaches 250 feet with jib. Each one is inspected on a schedule and has its load chart in the cab.

Four Cranes, Sized To The Work
A 40 ton National boom truck, a 60 ton Link-Belt, a 90 ton Link-Belt HTC-8690, and a 110 ton Kobelco CK1100G crawler. The boom truck handles rooftop units and signs, the truck cranes take steel, trusses, and grain bins, and the crawler covers the heavy picks. Specs and load charts for each unit are on the fleet page.

Every Lift Planned Before It Leaves The Yard
We review the load weight, the rigging, the ground conditions, and the clearances before we set up. Outrigger pads go down, the site gets walked, and the operator runs the lift he planned. That is how we keep people safe and keep the job on schedule.

Ankeny Crane Service Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for contractors, farmers, and plant managers planning a lift in this part of the state. For anything specific to your site or load, call the yard and talk to the operator who will run it.
Yes. Ankeny is 105 miles west of our Wellman yard by I-80 and I-35, well inside our regular service area. We dispatch to Ankeny and Polk County often, and we plan the route and timing so the crane and crew arrive ready.
Yes. Every crane leaves Wellman with a certified operator. We do not bare-rent cranes, and the operator who plans your lift is the one in the seat on lift day.

Operated Crane Service
You get the crane and the person who runs it best. We confirm weights, radius, and setup area before dispatch, so the crane is working when your crew is ready, not waiting on a decision.

Rigging
Slings, spreader bars, tag lines, and hands on the ground that know the load. Book it with a crane or on its own when you have the crane and need the crew.

Planned Before It Lifts
Good lifts start on paper. Every job is worked through before the crane rolls, and the plan rides along in the cab.
Pre-Lift Planning
Weights, rigging, clearances, and swing path are reviewed before we commit a crane.
Load Chart In The Cab
The operator runs the pick off the chart for that machine and that configuration, not from memory.
Ground Conditions Checked
Outrigger pads, ground bearing, and access are confirmed before setup.
