Crane Fleet from 25 to 770 tons
Bridge And Highway Crane Services
Coordinated Around DOT Closures
We handle bridge, highway, and infrastructure crane work across the Northeast. From sign installations to bridge component placements, we plan around the DOT lane closure window, the traffic control plan, and the night-shift schedule. All-Terrain cranes for the heavy picks, boom trucks for sign work, and operators who have run highway lifts many times before.

Crane Rentals For Highway And Bridge Work
DOT and infrastructure work runs on permitted closure windows that do not stretch. We plan the lift around the lane closure schedule, the traffic control plan, and the staging space the contractor has secured. Night-shift work is common, and our operators are used to it.
Highway sign installations and overhead structure work.
Bridge component placements and structural steel work.
Night-shift and weekend lifts that fit DOT closure windows.
Our Experience With Highway And Bridge Work
We have run highway and bridge lifts across the Northeast for decades. Overhead sign installations on interstates, structural steel placements on bridge projects, and overnight work coordinated with state DOT closure plans. The patterns repeat, and our planning process is built around them.
Operated crane, rigging, hauling, and storage all run through one Aero team. The crew that books the lift also handles the rig plan, the transport, and the staging.
Aero crews dispatch from South Windsor across Connecticut, Rhode Island, western Massachusetts, and southern Vermont. Equipment is matched to the site distance, road access, and lift requirements before the crane leaves the yard.
The fleet spans 25-ton carry decks to 770-ton all-terrain Liebherrs, with boom trucks, truck cranes, and forklifts in between. Each crane is matched to the load, the site access, and the schedule of your job.
How We Execute Highway And Bridge Crane Work
For highway and bridge lifts, we align early with your team to confirm the pick specs, the closure window, and the traffic control plan. Then we plan the rigging, coordinate with your crew and the DOT, and execute the lift on the schedule the permit window allows.
Confirm Closure And Pick Details
We confirm the load weight, the pick radius, the lane closure schedule, and the traffic control plan that the DOT permit covers.
Match The Right Crane And Setup
We size the crane to the lift radius, the staging space the closure provides, and the headroom under any overhead structures. All-Terrain for heavy bridge work, boom truck for sign installs.
Coordinate With DOT And Crew
We sequence the lift around the closure window, the traffic control crew, and any utility considerations along the route. Night-shift coordination is built into the plan.
Execute And Close Out
On the day of, we run the pre-lift checklist, set the load, and clear the closure within the permit window. Demobilization is timed to release the lanes back to traffic on schedule.
Tell Us About Your Next Highway Lift
Send the load specs, the closure window, and the DOT plan. We will match the crane to the work and lock in the night-shift schedule.
Highway And Bridge Crane FAQs
Questions DOT contractors and infrastructure project managers ask before booking a lift.
Overhead highway signs, gantry sign structures, bridge components, structural steel, precast concrete, and bridge equipment placements. We size the crane to the load weight, the lift radius, and the closure window the DOT has scheduled.
Yes. Night-shift and weekend lifts are common on DOT work because that is when most lane closures are permitted. We schedule operators around the closure window and stay on site until the lanes reopen.
We coordinate with the contractor and the traffic control crew on the closure schedule and the staging plan. Specific DOT permits are typically the prime contractor's responsibility, and we will consult on what permits the lift requires.
Boom trucks (45 to 55 ton) for highway sign installs and overhead structure work. Truck cranes (60 ton) for mid-range bridge picks. All-Terrain cranes (110 to 770 ton) for bridge component placements, structural steel, and heavy infrastructure lifts.
DOT projects with locked closure windows benefit from 4 to 6 weeks of lead time. Larger bridge picks requiring multiple cranes and pilot cars need more. Tight emergency windows are quoted when our schedule allows.
Our Services
We handle every part of the lift workflow: operated crane service, rigging, hauling, and storage. Tell us about your project and we'll match the equipment, plan the setup, and lock in the schedule.
Operated crane service,
planned and dispatched
We bring the crane, the operator, and the lift plan to your site. Every job is mapped at our yard before the equipment ships, so the crew arrives ready to work.
Rigging coordinated
with the lift plan
Our rigging team works alongside the operated crane crew. Slings, shackles, spreader bars, and tag lines are matched to the load before the lift starts.
Heavy haul
from yard to jobsite
We move equipment, structures, and oversize loads on flatbeds and lowboys across our service area. Routes are planned for permits, clearances, and the schedule of the lift on the other end.
Yard storage
between project phases
When equipment or materials need to wait between phases, our South Windsor yard offers secure storage with re-mobilization built into your schedule.
