Los Angeles has no cranes for sale on the site today. A buyer can post a purchase request naming capacity and budget, and an owner or dealer can list a crane without paying. Cranes elsewhere are on the national page.
Once a crane is posted, you call the seller, agree the price, watch a test lift and settle the title. The site takes no fee from the buyer. Until sellers join, a request is how you get found.
Rigging and heavy-haul firms working the port terminals look for all-terrain and rough-terrain units. Concrete and precast crews buy boom trucks. Building contractors on infill sites consider compact tower cranes, and independent owners pick up used mobile cranes to rent to others in Southern California.
Boom trucks go up fast and suit short picks. All-terrain machines drive the road and lift on site. Rough-terrain cranes work on dirt, crawlers take the largest loads, and tower cranes ride with a building.
Hold the hour meter up against boom wear, welds, pins and rope condition. Ask for the load chart, recent third-party inspection and service records. Test the outriggers and slew bearing, and see a known weight lifted at several radii. An independent inspector is wise for any large purchase. When one job is the only need, crane rental in Los Angeles comes first.
A diesel crane must be legal to operate in California. Ask the seller about the engine's emissions tier and any retrofit, and check current requirements before you pay.
Cranes travel on trailers, sometimes in pieces, and oversize permits apply. Ask the seller to quote transport. The Los Angeles buying page has other categories.
Los Angeles cranes carry no posted prices as yet. Capacity, age, hours and certification decide each offer.
Not necessarily. Diesel engines face state rules, so ask about compliance before you buy.
New brings a warranty and current engines. Used costs less but needs a thorough look at structure and records.
Ask for a demonstration lift with a measured load before any payment.
