Crane Services and Equipment Rentals in El Paso
Chances are, if you’re working on a huge construction project, you’ll need a crane to lift heavy items around the construction site and other equipment to ensure your project is a success. Whether you need to rent a crane for your next big project or need to hire someone to operate cranes at your construction site, Southwestern Industrial Contractors and Riggers, Inc. can help. Since 1920, we’ve been helping the heavy industry thrive around the world, especially here on the borderland.
Crane Services
Big construction projects typically call for large equipment or pieces of material. Our crane services and rentals include:
Rigging Systems
A rigging system is any kind of hoist and pulley system that can lift and move heavy objects. Our rigging systems include a variety of cranes, gantry systems, and forklifts, along with heavy haul transportation.
Cranes
Cranes can help you move various objects on your construction site safely from one place to another. We can provide services involving a variety of cranes, including heavy lift cranes, lattice boom cranes, overhead cranes, mobile cranes, and hydraulic cranes. Heavy lift cranes can lift anywhere between 25 to 165 tons and includes the lattice boom crane, which can also lift up to 165 tons. A lattice boom crane is classified by its arm (the lattice boom). This crane works by mechanically raising and lowering itself using guy wires, a kind of cable commonly used in construction.
Hydraulic cranes can handle a bit more than the other two, being able to lift up to 250 tons. This kind of crane works by using hydraulics, which involves sending a liquid, usually oil, through a series of pumps to get the crane going. Hydraulic cranes are an asset when it comes to lifting large items, like beach houses or whales when they’re being moved between zoos or other facilities like SeaWorld.
Gantry Systems
We have two kinds of gantry systems for you to choose from depending on the kind of construction project you are working on; a 400-ton at 27 feet lift gantry system and a 500-ton at 30 feet lift gantry system. The main differences between the two are the weight capacities and height differences. A gantry system is commonly used to move freight and containers on docks and near large bodies of water.
Modular Lift Towers
Modular lift towers are commonly used as alternatives to heavy lift cranes. Typically, they can lift heavier items, with some lifting up to 1,600 tons, and many can be custom designed to fit the construction site’s needs. Modular lift towers can also be erected in less time than a regular heavy lift crane.
