CRANE RENTAL & BOOM TRUCK SERVICES IN BEDFORD, PA
Sky Point Crane provides crane rental and heavy lifting solutions to Bedford and all of Bedford County, PA. Located approximately 70 miles from our Indiana, PA headquarters, we deliver professional crane services to Bedford and surrounding communities including Everett, Breezewood, Saxton, Hyndman, Schellsburg, Manns Choice, and Claysburg. Bedford County’s unique mix of major distribution centers, precision manufacturing, resort hospitality, and PA Turnpike corridor development demands experienced crane operators with diverse capabilities.
Why Bedford Contractors Choose Sky Point Crane
Bedford County has no dedicated crane rental companies — the few equipment rental businesses in the area are generalists without specialized crane fleets. This means Bedford County contractors have historically relied on distant crane companies from Altoona, Johnstown, or even Pittsburgh.
Sky Point Crane fills this gap with:
– Dedicated crane fleet with NCCCO certified operators for every job
– Experience with Bedford County’s major employers including distribution centers and manufacturing facilities
– Understanding of PA Turnpike corridor logistics and Breezewood interchange access
– Equipment suited for Bedford County’s valley terrain and rural job site access
We’ve supported lifting operations across Bedford County — from warehouse equipment installation at major distribution centers to HVAC work at Omni Bedford Springs Resort, manufacturing equipment moves, and infrastructure projects along the Turnpike corridor.
Crane Services for Bedford County's Growing Economy
Bedford County’s economy has diversified beyond its agricultural and tourism roots into a hub for distribution, manufacturing, and energy. The county’s strategic position at the intersection of the PA Turnpike (I-76), US Route 220, and US Route 30 makes it a prime location for logistics operations — including one of the largest Walmart Distribution Centers in the region and a major REI Distribution Center.
Sky Point Crane supports projects of all sizes across Bedford County — from single-day boom truck lifts at commercial properties to multi-week equipment installations at distribution facilities and manufacturing plants. The county’s continued investment in logistics infrastructure, manufacturing expansion, and hospitality improvements creates steady demand for professional crane services.

Commercial Construction

Natural Gas & Energy
Bedford County sits along the eastern edge of the Marcellus Shale formation and plays a strategic role in Pennsylvania’s natural gas infrastructure. The Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline (TETCO), owned and operated by Enbridge, runs through the county as part of the major Appalachia to Market pipeline system moving natural gas from southwestern PA to the eastern seaboard. Natural gas storage facilities operate in the county using depleted reservoirs, and additional deep gas fields exist in southeastern Bedford County near Breezewood and in the vicinity of Blue Knob. Sky Point Crane provides crane services for pipeline construction, compressor station maintenance, storage facility equipment, and transmission infrastructure projects throughout the county.
Coal & Mining
Bedford County has two bituminous coal fields — the Broad Top Field in the northeastern corner of the county near Saxton and the Georges Creek Field along the southwestern border. J & J Svonavec Excavating Inc. operates multiple active surface mining permits in the Broad Top area, including the Reed Mine, Reed No. 1 Mine, and Wood No. 2 Mine in Broad Top Township. The county also has a history of iron, lead, zinc, and manganese mining, with several limestone quarries operated by New Enterprise Stone & Lime Company throughout the region. Sky Point Crane provides crane services for mining equipment installation, conveyor systems, crusher maintenance, heavy equipment moves, and quarry operations across Bedford County.
Residential Construction
Custom home construction, modular home setting, and residential HVAC installation for builders throughout Bedford County, including vacation properties and cabin construction near Blue Knob resort area.

From Bedford County courthouse and government buildings to borough infrastructure and PennDOT road projects along the I-76, US 220, and US 30 corridors, Sky Point Crane provides crane services for bridge maintenance, equipment installation, utility upgrades, and public works improvements. The strategic Breezewood interchange — where the Pennsylvania Turnpike meets US 30 and US 220 — generates ongoing infrastructure and maintenance projects requiring crane support.
