Crane Backup Generator

How do you get large heavy backup generator delivered into difficult locations around your home.

On this particular job, we are delivering a backup generator to a large estate home that wants minimal damage to their landscaping. The generator has to pass thru a large section of grass and over a follow bed to get onto an elevator concrete pad. Generator weighs over a 1000 pounds, so this is not a simple delivery.

Due to distance, it was decided that for this particular delivery. That it would be best to use a mini crane to leap frog the backup generator over the grass, lift it thru the flower bed and onto the concrete pedestal.

As you can see, size of crane matters for getting into this yard.

While the mini crane does not have the same long reach as its larger cousins. It does not need it. The mini crane moves across the yard in 50 foot intervals, to get the generator where it needs to go.
