40 To 110 Tons
Crane Service For Sign Installation
Set Right The First Time.
Pylon signs, monument cabinets, and building letters are the most visible thing your customer owns, and they have to go up plumb, level, and without a scratch. Laser Crane Service sets signs for sign companies and businesses across Iowa, western Illinois, and northeast Missouri with operated cranes from 40 to 110 tons.

Built For Sign Shops
Pylons, Cabinets, And Letters Set Plumb And Level
A sign pick is a finish pick. The cabinet is painted, the faces are in, and the pole has to drop onto anchor bolts in a busy parking lot with traffic ten feet away. We plan the setup around the lot, rig with soft slings to protect the finish, and hold the pole plumb while your crew sets the nuts.
Pylon and pole signs, including tall highway signs
Monument signs, cabinets, and sign faces
Building mounted letters, canopies, and awnings
One Crane, One Operator, One Plan
Sign installs happen in front of customers, so the operator keeps the setup tight, the swing controlled, and the lot open where it can be. We work with your install crew on the order of picks and hold each piece as long as it takes to bolt, shim, and level.
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 Storefront
A process built for finished product, live parking lots, and a customer watching from the window.
Send The Sign Drawings
Sign weight, overall height, pole length, and the footing location. A photo of the lot shows us where the crane can sit.
We Plan The Lot
We choose a crane that reaches the footing from a spot that keeps the drive lanes open, check overhead lines, and set a time that fits the business.
Rig Soft, Set Plumb
Soft slings protect the finish. The pole goes onto the anchor bolts and we hold it plumb while your crew shims and tightens.
Cabinet On, Crane Gone
The cabinet goes up onto the pole, your crew makes the connections, and we clear the lot before the lunch rush.

Sign Installation Crane Questions
What sign companies and business owners ask before install day.
Tall highway pylons are well within our fleet's reach. Send the pole length and cabinet weight and we will confirm the crane and whether the pole and cabinet go up together or in two picks.
We rig finished signs with soft slings and protect edges where the sling bears. If the sign has lifting lugs, we use them. Tell us about the finish and we will rig for it.
Yes. We cone off the setup and swing area, keep drive lanes open where we can, and schedule early or off hours for busy retail sites.
Your install crew handles the connections. We hold the pole or cabinet plumb and steady for as long as they need to shim, level, and tighten.
Yes. Removing the old sign and setting the new one is a common combination. Tell us about both and we will plan the sequence.
