Crane Rental Services — Western & Central Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia & Maryland
Sky Point Crane provides professional crane rental services throughout Western and Central Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland. Every crane rental includes an experienced, NCCCO certified operator — we never provide bare rentals without qualified operators because safety is never optional.
Based in Indiana, PA with additional crane yards in Clearfield County and Allegheny County, we can typically have a crane and crew on your job site the same day. Our fleet ranges from 30-ton stand-up boom trucks to 225-ton all-terrain cranes, giving us the ability to match the right equipment to your project and budget.
What Crane Do You Need?
Choosing the right crane for your project depends on the weight of the load, the height and reach required, the job site conditions, and how long you need the equipment. Most customers don’t know exactly what crane they need — and that’s perfectly fine. That’s what we’re here for.
At Sky Point Crane, we start every project with a conversation. You tell us what you’re lifting, how much it weighs, where it needs to go, and what the job site looks like. We recommend the right crane, provide a straightforward quote, and schedule the lift. No upselling. No guesswork. No surprises.
Our fleet covers every lifting scenario you’ll encounter in commercial construction, industrial maintenance, energy infrastructure, and specialty projects. We operate everything from compact boom trucks for quick HVAC placements to heavy-capacity all-terrain cranes for transformer setting and structural steel erection. Every crane comes with a certified NCCCO operator, rigging support, and a commitment to safety on every lift.
If your project involves complex or critical lifts, we also offer 3D Lift Planning — a computerized simulation that models the entire lift before we mobilize. This ensures the right crane is selected, positioned correctly, and operated safely from start to finish.

How to Choose the Right Crane for Your Project
Every crane type has strengths. Choosing the right one comes down to what you’re lifting, where you’re lifting it, and the conditions on your job site. Here’s a straightforward guide:
Choose a boom truck when:
Your load is generally under 20 tons. You need fast setup and a quick turnaround. The job site is tight — parking lots, residential streets, or congested commercial areas. You want to haul the load on the flatbed and lift it with the same piece of equipment. Budget matters and a full crane mobilization isn’t necessary.
Choose a truck crane or all-terrain crane when:
Your load exceeds 20 tons. You need extended reach or significant lift height. The project involves multiple lifts over several days. Site conditions require outriggers and maximum stability. You’re setting heavy equipment like transformers, generators, or structural steel.
Choose a rough terrain or telescopic crawler when:
Your job site is unpaved, muddy, or has limited road access. You need pick-and-carry capability to reposition loads without disassembly. The terrain is too challenging for a truck-mounted crane.
Choose a self-erecting tower crane when:
Your project requires sustained lifting over weeks or months. Repetitive lifts to the same height — like multi-story construction. A compact footprint is critical and you can’t have a mobile crane occupying ground space for the entire project.
Choose a mini crane when:
You need to lift inside a building — through doorways, inside mechanical rooms, or in atriums. The space is too confined for any other type of crane. The load is under 5,300 lbs.
Not sure? Call (724) 471-5710, describe your lift, and we’ll tell you honestly which crane is the right fit. We operate every type listed above, so we have no incentive to oversell — we just want to match the right equipment to your project at the right price.
Our Crane Rental Fleet
Sky Point Crane operates a diverse fleet of cranes so we can match the right equipment to your specific project. Here’s what’s available:
Stand-Up Boom Trucks (20–30 Ton)
Our most versatile and cost-effective option for lighter lifts. Available in 20-ton, 23-ton, 26-ton, and 30-ton capacities with 20-foot flatbeds for hauling equipment to and from the site. Stand-up operation gives the operator direct line-of-sight to the load. Ideal for HVAC placements, sign installation, telecom work, and general construction lifts under 20 tons.
Swing Cab Boom Trucks (35–55 Ton)
Enclosed operator cab rotates with the boom for 360-degree visibility and comfort on longer jobs. Available in 35-ton through 55-ton configurations with up to 151 feet of reach. Multiple outrigger configurations for narrow, medium, and full-width setups. Removable counterweights stored on deck for added capacity without additional support trucks.
Truck Cranes (40–115 Ton)
Mobile and highway-legal, our truck cranes deliver quick setup with long reach and high-capacity booms. Front outrigger is standard for full 360-degree operation. Ideal for commercial construction, industrial equipment setting, and projects that need serious lifting power with fast mobilization.
All-Terrain Cranes (85–225 Ton)
Our heavy-capacity workhorses for the biggest lifts. All-terrain cranes combine powerful lifting performance with off-road mobility and highway travel speeds. Multiple axles with advanced steering for precise maneuverability on tight job sites. Used for transformer setting, structural steel erection, generator placement, and heavy industrial lifts.
Rough Terrain Cranes (30–150 Ton)
Built for unpaved, muddy, or challenging job sites where truck-mounted cranes can’t reach. Outstanding gradeability and stability on uneven ground. Used extensively in energy sector work, remote construction, and industrial facilities with limited improved road access.
Telescopic Crawlers (30–120 Ton)
100 percent pick-and-carry capability on rough terrain. Low ground pressure for soft soil conditions. Excellent for repositioning loads without disassembly — drive to the pick point, lift, drive to the set point, and place. Used in pipeline work, plant construction, and utility projects.
Self-Erecting Tower Cranes
Potain and Montalift units operated by remote control with just one crew member. Quick setup and decommission. Hydraulic outriggers and integrated counterweights require no foundation and minimal ground preparation. Compact footprint for multi-story construction, repetitive lifts, and extended-duration projects.
Carry Deck Cranes
Compact industrial cranes for plant maintenance and material handling in tight quarters. Multi-mode steering for maneuvering inside facilities. Flat carry deck for transporting materials across the job site.
Mini Cranes
Jekko, Maeda, and Spyder mini cranes deliver big lifting capability in an ultra-compact package. These battery-powered and electric-hydraulic cranes fit through a standard single doorframe, making them the only option for true indoor lifting. Jekko spider cranes offer up to 5,300 lbs capacity with 39 feet of reach. Maeda mini cranes are known for their reliability and tight-space maneuverability, with models offering pick-and-carry capability inside facilities. Spyder cranes feature articulating track systems that navigate stairs, narrow corridors, and uneven surfaces that no other crane can access. Mini cranes are ideal for mechanical room equipment installation, atrium and lobby work, hospital and data center interiors, glass and curtain wall installation from inside the building, industrial plant maintenance in confined bays, and monument or sculpture placement. If your lift is indoors, in a parking garage, on an upper floor, or anywhere a conventional crane simply cannot reach, a mini crane is the solution.
How Much Does Crane Rental Cost?
Crane rental costs depend on several factors, and we believe in being upfront about pricing so there are no surprises. At Sky Point Crane, every crane rental includes a certified NCCCO operator — you won’t be hit with a separate operator charge.
Factors that affect crane rental pricing include the type and capacity of crane needed (a 23-ton boom truck costs significantly less than a 225-ton all-terrain crane), the duration of the rental — whether you need the crane for a few hours, a full day, or multiple weeks, the distance from our crane yards to your job site, and any specialized rigging equipment or accessories required for the lift.
Most crane jobs are quoted on a half-day, full-day, or weekly basis depending on the scope. We provide free, no-obligation quotes and will always tell you upfront what the job will cost. No hidden fees. No surprise mobilization charges. No fine print.
One Call. Zero Surprises. That’s how we do business.
