HVAC Lift Services

Crane Rentals For HVAC Mechanical Installs

HVAC equipment lifts run on tight schedules and tighter access. We plan the lift around the building footprint, the rooftop curbs, and the trades on site. From RTU swaps to chiller placements through facade openings, we pick the crane and plan the rigging before the truck rolls.

Our Experience With HVAC Work

We have handled HVAC lifts across the Northeast for decades. Rooftop unit replacements, chiller placements through facade openings, and boiler swaps in tight mechanical rooms. The patterns repeat, and our planning process is built around them. Operators arrive at your jobsite with the lift already mapped out.

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 HVAC Crane Work

For HVAC equipment lifts, we align early with your team to confirm the equipment specs, the rooftop access, and the install window. Then we plan the rigging, coordinate with your trades, and execute the lift on the schedule your client agreed to.

Confirm Equipment And Access

We confirm the unit dimensions and weight, the rooftop access route, the parapet or curb constraints, and the install window your client agreed to.

Match The Right Crane And Setup

We size the crane to the lift radius, the building height, and the staging space available on the ground. Boom truck for tight urban work, All-Terrain for high-rise mechanical floors.

Coordinate With Trades And Tenants

We sequence the lift around your other trades on site, the tenants in the building, and any street or parking access permits needed. Off-hour windows are common on HVAC work.

Execute And Close Out

On the day of, we run the pre-lift checklist, set the equipment, coordinate the swap with your crew, and close out the site. Demobilization is timed to release the staging area on schedule.

Tell Us About Your Next HVAC Lift

Send the equipment specs, the building access, and the install window. We will match the crane to the work and lock in the schedule.

HVAC Crane Service FAQs

Questions HVAC and mechanical contractors ask before booking a lift.

What HVAC Equipment Do You Lift?

Rooftop units, condensing units, AHUs, cooling towers, chillers, boilers, and mechanical equipment between facilities. We size the crane to the unit weight, the lift radius, and the building height.

Can You Work Off-Hours For HVAC Installs?

Yes. Off-hour and weekend lifts are common on HVAC work to avoid tenant impact or traffic restrictions. We schedule around your install window and your other trades on site.

Do You Coordinate With Roof Access And Building Logistics?

We confirm the access route to the rooftop before the crane arrives. Curb cuts, parapet heights, sidewalk closures, and elevator service routes all get covered in the pre-lift planning call.

What Sizes Of Cranes Do You Use For HVAC Lifts?

Boom trucks (45 to 55 ton) handle most rooftop unit and AHU placements on commercial buildings. Truck cranes (60 ton) reach higher when the boom truck doesn't have the lift chart. All-Terrain cranes (110 to 770 ton) handle high-rise mechanical floors and chiller placements through facade openings.

How Far In Advance Should I Book An HVAC Lift?

1 to 2 weeks of lead time secures most rooftop unit replacements. Larger lifts requiring street permits or pilot cars benefit from 3 to 4 weeks. Tight install windows and emergency replacements are quoted when our schedule allows.
