Crane Fleet from 25 to 770 tons

Education And Campus Crane Services
Planned Around Your Summer Window

We handle crane work for K-12 schools and university campuses across the Northeast. From summer mechanical upgrades to dorm and classroom HVAC swaps, we plan around the academic calendar, the campus access, and the closeout date your project has to hit. Boom trucks for tight campus quads, all-terrain cranes for larger projects, and operators used to working occupied campuses.

Crane Rentals For School And Campus Projects

School and campus projects run on a hard summer window. Equipment has to land before students return, and the closeout date does not move. We plan the lift around campus access, pedestrian safety zones, and the contractor's punch list, so the install gets done before the calendar hits.

Our Experience With Education Projects

We have run campus lifts across the Northeast for decades. Summer mechanical retrofits in K-12 buildings, dorm renovations on college campuses, and lab equipment placements during winter break. The patterns repeat, and our planning process is built around the academic calendar.

Services

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.

Areas We Serve

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.

Fleet Capacity

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.

Process

How We Execute Campus Crane Work

For campus lifts, we align early with your project team to confirm the equipment specs, the campus access, and the academic calendar window. Then we plan the rigging, coordinate with facilities, and execute the lift before the closeout date.

Confirm Calendar And Access

We confirm the equipment dimensions and weight, the campus access route, the pedestrian closure plan, and the calendar window the project has to fit.

Match The Right Crane And Setup

We size the crane to the lift radius, the staging space the campus has, and the building height. Boom truck for tight quads, All-Terrain when reach matters.

Coordinate With Facilities And Crew

We sequence the lift around your trades, the facilities team, and any campus event schedules. Pedestrian safety and access lane control are built into the plan.

Execute And Close Out

On the day of, we run the pre-lift checklist, set the equipment, and clear the staging area. Demobilization is timed to release the campus before the next event or session begins.

Tell Us About Your Next Campus Project

Send the equipment specs, the campus access plan, and the calendar window. We will match the crane to the work and lock in the schedule.

Education Crane Service FAQs

Questions school and campus project managers ask before booking a lift.

What Campus Equipment Do You Lift?

Rooftop HVAC units, boilers, lab equipment, dorm appliances, fume hoods, generators, and mechanical systems. We size the crane to the unit weight, the lift radius, and the campus access available.

Can You Hit A Hard Summer Window?

Yes. Summer school windows are why we book up fast every year. We schedule the lift around the calendar your client has, and we stay on the project until the equipment is set and signed off.

Do You Coordinate With Campus Facilities?

We coordinate with the facilities team, the campus security office, and pedestrian safety crews on access, staging, and lane closures. Access permits are typically the contractor or facilities responsibility, and we will consult on requirements.

What Sizes Of Cranes Do You Use For Campus Work?

Boom trucks (45 to 55 ton) for tight campus quads and rooftop work. Truck cranes (60 ton) for mid-range buildings. All-Terrain cranes (110 to 770 ton) for large lab buildings, towers, and high-rise dorms. Carry decks for indoor work in mechanical rooms.

How Far In Advance Should I Book A Campus Lift?

Summer projects benefit from 6 to 8 weeks of lead time given how fast the schedule fills. Winter break and spring break work needs 2 to 4 weeks. Emergency campus replacements are quoted when our schedule allows.
