40 To 110 Tons
Crane Service For Precast Concrete
Set Right The First Time.
Wall panels, box culverts, manholes, and hollow core plank are heavy, unforgiving, and delivered on a truck that is charging by the hour. Laser Crane Service sets precast for contractors and precasters across Iowa, western Illinois, and northeast Missouri with operated cranes from 40 to 110 tons and rigging rated for the pick.
Operated Crane Service | Rigging
Built For Heavy Picks
Panels, Culverts, And Plank Set Straight Off The Truck
Precast is where capacity matters. A 20 ton wall panel or a box culvert section leaves no margin for guessing the radius. We work from the precaster's piece weights and the site plan, choose the crane with headroom to spare at the actual reach, and rig to the cast in lifting inserts so every piece comes off the trailer once and lands on the bearing.
Architectural and structural wall panels
Box culverts, manholes, vaults, and bridge beams
Hollow core plank, stairs, and double tees
One Crane, One Operator, One Plan
Precast erection is a rhythm job. Trucks arrive in sequence, the crane picks in sequence, and the erection crew braces and releases in sequence. Our operator plans that rhythm with your erector, keeps the trailers turning, and does not release a panel until it is braced and the crew says so.
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 Footings
A process built for piece weights, truck sequencing, and picks with no second chance.
Send The Piece List
Piece weights, dimensions, insert locations, the erection drawings, and where the trailers can back in.
We Run The Heaviest Pick
We check the heaviest piece at its farthest radius against the chart, choose the crane with margin, and plan the setup and trailer lane.
Pick, Set, Brace
Each piece comes off the trailer on the inserts, lands on the bearing, and is held while your crew plumbs and braces it.
Release And Repeat
We release on the erector's call and move to the next trailer until the last piece is set, then clear the site.
Get Your Precast Set
Send the piece list and the site address. We will confirm the crane, the rigging, and a quote so the trailers and the crane arrive together.
Precast Crane Questions
What contractors, erectors, and precasters ask before a set.
It comes down to weight at radius. Our largest crane is rated to 110 tons at close reach, and typical wall panels and culvert sections are well inside the chart. Send the piece weight and how far out it has to go and we will confirm.
Yes. We bring the lifting hardware for the insert type the precaster specifies and rig every piece to its designed pick points.
Yes. Setting off the trailer is the fastest way to keep trucks turning. We plan a trailer lane inside the crane's working radius so no piece has to be staged twice.
That depends on the erection crew and how fast the trailers arrive more than the crane. Give us the delivery schedule and we will keep pace with it.
Yes. We set up back from the trench edge at a safe distance and plan the radius to reach the invert. Tell us about the trench depth and shoring so we can place the crane correctly.
