40 To 110 Tons
Crane Service For Steel Erection
Set Right The First Time.
Columns, beams, joists, and deck go up in a sequence that the crane either keeps or breaks. Laser Crane Service supports steel erectors and general contractors across Iowa, western Illinois, and northeast Missouri with operated cranes from 40 to 110 tons, rigging for structural steel, and an operator who works off the iron crew's signals.

Built For Iron Crews
Structural Steel Set By Operated Cranes, 40 To 110 Tons
Steel erection is a capacity and reach job at the same time. Columns are heavy and close, roof joists are light and far, and the crane has to cover both from as few setups as the site allows. We work from the erection drawings and piece weights, plan the setups around the bay sequence, and keep the hook moving so the connectors are never waiting on iron.

One Crane, One Operator, One Plan
Your erection foreman gets one operator who has read the drawings, walked the setups, and reviewed signals with the connectors before the first column goes up. We hold each piece until it is bolted and plumbed, release on the foreman's call, and keep the same crane and operator on the job from the first column to the last sheet of deck.
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.

We Plan The Setups
We run the heaviest and farthest picks against the chart, choose the crane, and map how many setups cover the footprint.
Columns, Beams, Joists, Deck
The operator works the bay sequence with your connectors, holding each piece until it is bolted and plumbed.
Topped Out, Crane Gone

Steel Erection Crane Questions
What erectors, fabricators, and general contractors ask before the first column.
Always the crane with our certified operator. Your iron crew handles the connecting and bolting, and our operator runs the hook off their signals.
Often, yes, from two or three setups. Send the footprint and piece weights and we will tell you how many setups it takes and whether a larger crane saves moves.
Yes. Rigid frames, purlins, and girts are a regular part of our steel work, from ag shops to commercial warehouses.
Yes. For heavy columns, girders, or anything near chart capacity, we put the crane, radius, and rigging on paper ahead of time for your safety review.
The operator makes the call from the load chart and the wind at height, and we stand down before it becomes a problem for the connectors. We reschedule as soon as the forecast clears.
