Boom Truck/Crane Rigging?
Permalink   
 

I will say this though, finding overhead lifting information for specific machinery is not always the easiest task. Some manufacturers provide all the information down to the lifting fixtures needed and chain pull lengths, others not so much. I included a picture of the lifting frame I had to build to pick up my Puma 200, worked very well however there is not much room for error on chain pull lengths. Almost learned the hard way with having one chain a couple inches off in height nearly tipping the lathe off the deck of trailer when we started to lift it.

That's another reason I'm a fan of using a wrecker- dual hoist lines.

When it comes to the logistics, it's essential to plan carefully. The concrete deck you mentioned could be a suitable spot for the operation since it provides a stable surface for the crane. However, make sure the ground is level to prevent any accidents.

Moving heavy machinery is no small feat, but it's definitely doable with the right equipment. A boom truck crane can typically lift around 5,000 pounds, so it should handle your 4,500-pound machines without a hitch.

I get it; the idea might sound a bit wild at first, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right? Safety first, though! Make sure you hire experienced riggers who know their stuff. As for costs, they can vary depending on your location and the complexity of the job, so it's a good idea to get a few quotes.

But if you're considering a new rig or just exploring options, you might want to check out trucks for sale. You might stumble upon some real bargains or even find one that suits your needs perfectly.
