Mobile crane lifting a red tower crane into position at a Toronto construction site

Precast & Equipment Lifts

Precast panels and packaged equipment need a crane matched to the pick weight and site access, not a generic rental booking.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Pick Plan & Panel Review

    We review precast shop drawings or equipment specs with the contractor to confirm panel weight, pick points, and the crane's required reach before scheduling the lift.

  2. Step 02

    Site & Access Check

    Crew confirms ground bearing capacity, outrigger pad locations, and overhead clearances for the panel yard or equipment pad before the crane sets up.

  3. Step 03

    Rigging & Set

    Panels or equipment are rigged with slings or a spreader bar matched to the pick points, then lifted and set to the layout line or equipment pad.

  4. Step 04

    Final Position & Release

    Crew holds the load in position while the contractor confirms alignment, then releases rigging once the panel or unit is secured.

Questions about this service

What information do you need before a precast lift?

We need the panel or equipment weight, pick-point locations, and a site plan showing crane set-up and swing path. Shop drawings from the precast supplier or equipment spec sheets cover most of this.

How is a precast panel rigged for a crane pick?

Panels are rigged through cast-in lift points using slings or a spreader bar sized to the panel weight and pick geometry. The rigging configuration is confirmed against the shop drawing before the first lift.

Can a crane place equipment like generators or transformers?

Yes, rough-terrain and all-terrain cranes set packaged generators, transformers, and similar equipment onto pads or platforms. The pick plan accounts for the unit's weight, skid dimensions, and final set location.

What site conditions affect a precast or equipment lift?

Ground bearing capacity under the outriggers, overhead lines, and the swing path to the set location all factor into the crane position. These are checked on site before setup.

Do you provide a lift plan ahead of the job?

Yes, a lift plan is worked out from the panel or equipment specs and site layout before the crane arrives. This confirms crane size, pick radius, and outrigger placement in advance.

What's the difference between a rough-terrain and all-terrain crane for this work?

A rough-terrain crane moves on off-road tires and suits sites with uneven grading or limited paved access, while an all-terrain crane can drive to site on public roads and still work rough ground. The site conditions and travel distance decide which one fits the job.
