Our Experience With Refinery And Chemical Plant Lifts
Aero supports petrochemical operators, refinery contractors, and chemical plant maintenance teams across the Northeast. Our crews understand how turnaround schedules drive every decision and how site safety standards shape every step of the lift.
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.
Coordinated Before The Turnaround Begins
Petrochemical work starts months before the lift. Here is how Aero plans around your turnaround.
Confirm Equipment And Turnaround Window
Tell us the equipment, the access, and your scheduled turnaround. We map the lift around your maintenance window from the planning meeting forward.
Match The Right Crane And Setup
Sized to fit your facility's clearances, ground bearing, and the radii required for vessel and exchanger placements.
Coordinate With Safety And Vendors
We sync with your safety officer, turnaround coordinator, and OEM vendors so the lift sequence supports the install plan.
Execute And Close Out
Operators on site, lifts complete inside the turnaround window, equipment back to your team for commissioning.

Petrochemical Crane Questions
Common questions about petrochemical and refinery crane work.
Reactors, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, distillation towers, tank farm equipment, and refinery skids. If it is part of a turnaround or capital project at a refinery or chemical plant, we have likely lifted it.
Yes. Our operators carry the certifications and training that refinery and chemical plant work requires. We participate in site safety meetings, comply with hot work and permit-required confined space protocols, and align our lift plan with your safety officer.
Turnaround schedules drive every decision. Send us your turnaround plan and we will build the crane mobilization, equipment staging, and lift sequence around your maintenance window.
Sizing depends on equipment weight, pick radius, and access constraints. 55-ton through 230-ton all-terrain cranes for typical reactor and exchanger placements. Larger lifts can be planned with additional capacity through partner relationships.
Four to eight weeks is typical for major turnaround support, given site safety reviews and lift plan approvals. Smaller scheduled lifts can be planned with two to three weeks. Emergency outage support can sometimes be turned around in under a week.
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.
