Charlotte has no cranes for rent on the site right now, since local crane companies have not signed up. Contractors who need a lift can post a request, and crane owners can list a machine at no cost during the launch. Cranes elsewhere are on the national crane rental page.
Uptown holds the headquarters of major banks, and towers for offices, hotels and apartments continue to appear in the center, South End and around the stadium district. Each needs tower cranes, plus mobile cranes for steel, curtain wall, mechanical equipment and the final rooftop picks. Light rail extensions, road bridges and interchanges add lifts of precast beams.
All-terrain cranes drive between sites at highway speed. Rough-terrain cranes handle gravel and clay pads. Crawler cranes carry the biggest loads on tilt-up sites but arrive in pieces on trailers. Boom trucks suit small picks like rooftop units and signs. A tower crane is usually arranged through the building contractor.
Red clay compacts well when dry but turns to slick mud after rain, so mats and a prepared pad matter. Summer heat tires operators, and afternoon thunderstorms with lightning stop lifts at short notice. Remnants of tropical storms can bring wind that exceeds crane limits for a day or more.
Share the load weight with rigging, the radius, the height and the landing point. Request the manufacturer chart for the working radius. Uptown lifts commonly require a street closure and a traffic plan, so confirm who applies and who pays.
