40 To 110 Tons
Crane Service For Cell Tower And Telecom
Planned Before It Lifts.
Tower sections, antenna mounts, shelters, and generators all have to go up on a site that is usually at the end of a gravel road. Laser Crane Service supports tower crews and telecom contractors across Iowa, western Illinois, and northeast Missouri with operated cranes from 40 to 110 tons and the boom length to reach.

Built For Tower Crews
Sections, Mounts, And Shelters Set On Remote Sites
Telecom work is long reach, light loads, and tight compounds. The crane has to get through the gate, set up inside the fence, and hold a section steady at height while the climbers pin it. We plan the setup from the compound drawing, confirm the road can take the truck, and bring the boom length the tower height calls for.

One Crane, One Operator, One Plan
The operator on a tower job is holding a load next to people at height. Ours work off the tower crew's signals, keep the load off the structure until the climbers call for it, and hold it there as long as the pinning takes. Nothing moves without a signal.
Operated crane service and rigging. The crane arrives with its operator, and when you need it our crew handles slings, spreader bars, and the ground side of the set. Tell us what you are picking and we match the machine to it.
All of Iowa from one yard at 1520 Hwy 22 in Wellman, with no radius cap. We also cross the river regularly for jobs in western Illinois and northeast Missouri. Multi-day sets anywhere in that range are scheduled as one booking.
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.
From The Wellman Yard To Your Compound
A process built for remote sites and crews working at height.
Send The Site Package
Tower height, section weights, compound layout, and access road notes. Coordinates are fine if there is no street address.
We Match Boom To Height
We choose the crane for the top pick, confirm it fits inside the fence with outriggers down, and check the road and gate for the truck.
Set Up In The Compound
The operator sets up, reviews signals with the crew lead, and starts with the ground picks while the climbers gear up.
Hold, Pin, Release
Each section or mount is held at height until the crew confirms it is pinned. We release on their call and move to the next pick.

Telecom Crane Questions
What tower contractors and carriers ask before they schedule.
With the right crane and jib, our fleet reaches the majority of monopoles and self support towers in the region. Send the tower height and top pick weight and we will confirm which crane covers it.
Usually, yes. Tell us about the road width, culverts, turns, and gate width and we will pick a crane that can make it in and set up inside the compound.
Yes. Equipment shelters, cabinets, and standby generators are common picks on the same trip as tower work, and we can rig them off the delivery truck straight onto the pad.
Always. We review hand and radio signals with the crew lead before the first pick and take direction from the climbers for every set at height.
Operator certification, insurance certificates, and crane inspection records are available on request for your carrier or general contractor's file.
