Q
What type of crane do I need?
AHere at Thornton’s Crane Serice, crane size is determined by three variables we take into account: Load Weight, Load Distance, and Load Elevation.

Every construction or project site offers a different set of challenges, they are all unique. We recommend you contact us to evaluate your project. Our team’s experience can help identify additional variables that can influence the crane which is used.

Q
Do you do on-site consultations?
A

We prefer to meet potential clients on the site of their project to review the scope as well as identify and confirm the address and overcome any unique obstacles that are present on the lift site.
