What we set on Denver rooftops
We work for HVAC and mechanical contractors and general contractors on new construction, change-outs and replacements. Typical picks are rooftop units (RTUs), condensers, chillers, air handlers, exhaust fans and curbs. If the unit needs to come from the supplier first, our heavy haul trucks can pick it up and the same crew sets it.
1. Send the specs
Building address, unit weight and size from the spec sheet, roof height, target date.
2. We plan the lift
Crane size, placement and the set-up area on the street, lot or alley.
3. Site safety
Pre-lift screening, NCCCO-certified operators and Stop-The-Job authority on site.
4. Set and done
Units set on the curbs, crane off site, roof handed back.
Crane sizes for rooftop units
The right crane depends on three numbers: how much the heaviest unit weighs, how far it is from where the crane can set up to where the unit lands, and how tall the building is. A light unit on a low roof next to the curb needs far less crane than a chiller set deep on a tall building. We choose from our 30 to 400 ton range, from our yard or a trusted partner, after we see those numbers.
- 30 ton
- 40 ton
- 50 ton
- 60 ton
- 80 ton
- 90 ton
- 100 ton
- 110 ton
- 120 ton
- 135 ton
- 140 ton
- 190 ton
- 200 ton
- 240 ton
- 250 ton
- 265 ton
- 275 ton
- 300 ton
- 400 ton
Street space, timing and weekends
Many Denver buildings leave no room for a crane except the street, the sidewalk or an alley. If the crane has to use the public right-of-way, a permit from the City and County of Denver may be needed, so tell us early and we will plan the set-up around it. Many rooftop sets happen early in the morning or on weekends to keep tenants and traffic moving, and Kran adds no union, weekend or overtime charges.
