What We Can Lift in Burlington

HVAC Units and Roof Top Equipment

Replacing or setting an HVAC unit on a roof requires the right crane, a safe pick plan, and a team that understands rigging. We lift residential and commercial units, curb adapters, and related equipment. Our crew coordinates with your HVAC contractor for smooth timing, clear communication, and proper rigging. We can provide spreader bars, softeners, and taglines, and we set equipment exactly where you need it. If you are near downtown Burlington or working around tight alleys, we help plan street positioning and traffic control as needed.

Trusses, Beams, and Modular Components

For builders and framers, speed and precision matter. We hoist roof trusses, floor trusses, steel beams, SIP panels, and modular sections for residential and light commercial projects. American Erecting & Ironworks coordinates with your crew to keep the set moving, from the first pick to the final placement. We understand site constraints in Burlington neighborhoods and rural sites, and we size the crane to reach over garages, trees, and existing structures. For steel projects in Wisconsin, we also supply beams and columns in various sizes to keep your schedule on track.

Tree Removal and Storm Work

When trees lean over homes, garages, or power lines, a crane makes removal safer and more controlled. We assist tree care companies and homeowners with hazardous removals, storm cleanup, and large log handling. Our operators work closely with climbers and ground crews to position the crane, balance each piece, and lower sections safely. We can coordinate scheduling during off-peak hours to reduce disruption and to keep your project on budget.

Boats, Docks, and Waterfront Lifts

From seasonal boat lifts to mast stepping, our team handles watercraft with care. We work at private properties, marinas, and staging areas near the Fox River and nearby lakes. We can lift boats to and from trailers, move dock sections, and place lifts for the season. Our crew checks sling points, balances the load, and communicates throughout the lift so your investment stays protected. If you are new to crane rentals Burlington for boat handling, we can walk you through the process and what to expect on the day of the lift.

Heavy Machinery and Equipment

American Erecting & Ironworks also specializes in machinery moving. We relocate presses, CNC machines, production lines, and other heavy equipment. Our team can load, transport, and set machines with minimal downtime. We work around your schedule, including weekends and holidays when needed, to minimize production impacts. With forklifts, rigger booms, telehandlers, and crane options available, we match the right equipment to the job for safe and efficient moves.

Our Crane Fleet and Rental Equipment

Our fleet includes mobile cranes that are maintained to high standards and outfitted with the rigging and accessories needed for a wide range of jobs. When your project requires more than a crane, we also offer equipment rental options with flexible terms. Daily, weekly, monthly, or extended rentals are available to fit your schedule and budget.

• Forklifts with or without rigger booms for indoor and outdoor moves
• Rough terrain telehandlers for reach and placement on active jobsites
• Genie boom lifts for access and work at height
• Tractor-trailers for equipment transport and deliveries
• Spreader bars, slings, shackles, and rigging hardware

When you contact us for crane rentals Burlington, we will review lift needs, load details, site conditions, and access. Then we will match the crane and support gear to your project so you get the best performance at a fair price.

Safety Comes First on Every Lift

American Erecting & Ironworks builds every lift around safety, from planning to final placement. Our NCCCO-certified operators follow clear procedures. We use proper rigging, level the crane, and maintain load charts for each pick. We identify hazards like overhead lines, soft ground, and tight streets, and we adjust the plan to protect people and property. Communication is key on a lift, so our team uses hand signals and radios to keep everyone in sync. When you choose us for crane rentals Burlington, you can count on a safe and steady operation.

You do not need every detail to start a quote, but a few facts help us size the right crane and plan the best approach. Gather what you can and we will handle the rest.

• Load specifics: weight, dimensions, and pick points
• Pick and set locations: how far and how high

Burlington Jobsite Tips

Working in Burlington can involve tight streets, nearby homes, and seasonal weather. Our team plans with these factors in mind. On residential streets, we may position the crane to keep driveways open and to avoid blocking emergency access. For tree lifts near power lines, we coordinate with utility providers when needed. For waterfront lifts, we review site access and staging so your boat or dock moves smoothly. During winter, we monitor weather and de-ice plans so the crane can set up safely. If you are unsure how the site affects the job, we are happy to visit and review in person.

Our standard hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and we offer weekend or holiday options to help you avoid downtime. For short residential lifts like HVAC swaps or small truss sets, we often complete the work within a minimum time window.
