Cranes for Sale in Phoenix

The Phoenix metro has no cranes for sale on the site today. Buyers can post a purchase request with the capacity and budget they need, and crane owners and dealers can advertise a unit at no charge. Cranes in other places are on the national crane page.

Process

Once a crane is posted you phone the seller, agree a price, arrange a test lift and settle the title. The buyer pays no fee to the website. Until sellers arrive, a request is the way to be seen.

Buyers in the Valley

Steel and precast erectors serving industrial and data center projects look for rough-terrain and all-terrain machines. Specialty rigging firms buy for machinery moves inside plants. Utility and sign companies prefer boom trucks, and some independent owners buy used cranes to rent to others around Maricopa County.

Types

Boom trucks are quick to set up. Rough-terrain cranes work off graded dirt. All-terrain machines drive the freeway and still lift on site, crawlers take the largest loads, and tower cranes stay with a building through its frame.

Used Crane Scrutiny

Measure the hour meter against the state of the boom sections, welds, pins and rope. Ask to see the load chart and recent third-party inspection papers. Operate outriggers, check the slew ring for play and look at hydraulic hoses for the cracking that desert sun can cause. Have a known weight lifted at more than one radius. For a very large unit, an independent inspector costs little against the price of a mistake. If you only have one project, rent a crane in Phoenix first.

Dust, Heat and Reliability

Fine desert dust works into bearings and filters, so ask when they were serviced. Components that sat outdoors for years, such as seals and wiring insulation, deserve extra scrutiny.

Getting It Home

Cranes move on trailers, sometimes in several loads, and permits may apply. Ask the seller for the cost. Everything else for sale in the metro is gathered on the Phoenix buying page.
