One Crane, On Site, Through the Whole Build

Instead of booking a mobile crane for every lift, a self-erecting tower crane sets up once on a tight footprint and stays through framing.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Send site and lift details

    Share pick weight, radius, lift height, and the Toronto site address so dispatch can match the crane class.

  2. Step 02

    Confirm crane class and rigging plan

    We lock the mobile crane, boom truck, or tower crane and plan slings and pick points before the truck leaves the yard.

  3. Step 03

    Crew sets up and runs the lift

    A certified hoisting engineer checks ground conditions, sets outriggers, and runs the pick with your crew on site.

What Repeated Mobile Crane Trips Cost a Multi-Storey Build

  • Re-mobilizing a mobile crane for every lift phase
  • Yard congestion between separate crane visits
  • Schedule gaps waiting on the next mobile crane booking

Questions about this service

How is a self-erecting tower crane different from a mobile crane?

A self-erecting tower crane raises its own mast on site and stays there for the build, while a mobile crane arrives, lifts, and leaves. Tower cranes make sense when a site needs repeated lifts over weeks rather than a single pick.

Does a self-erecting tower crane need a lot of space?

It needs less footprint than a conventional tower crane but still requires a clear erection area — send your lot dimensions and we'll confirm fit.

How long can the crane stay on site?

The crane stays for the duration of the framing and material-lift phase of your build — term length is set based on your schedule.

Who sets up the tower crane?

A certified hoisting engineer oversees the self-erection process and remains the operator for the build.

What kinds of builds use a self-erecting tower crane?

Multi-unit residential buildings and mid-rise commercial sites are the most common fit, especially where a mobile crane would need to return for every floor.

Do you dispatch tower cranes outside Woodstock?

Yes, within about a three-hour drive of Woodstock across Southwestern and Central Ontario.
