Power Generation Crane Services
From routine maintenance lifts to complex turbine installations, Sky Point Crane provides comprehensive lifting solutions for every phase of power plant operations:
Turbine Installation & Replacement
Gas turbines, steam turbines, and generator sets require precise positioning within tight tolerances. Our operators have experience with the heavy lifts and exact placement these critical components demand—whether installing new GE Vernova 7HA.02 turbines or replacing aging equipment during scheduled outages.
Scheduled Maintenance Outages
Planned outages require crane services that arrive on time, every time. We coordinate with plant management and general contractors to ensure our equipment and operators integrate seamlessly into your outage schedule—minimizing downtime and keeping your facility on track to return to service.
Boiler & HRSG Work
Heat recovery steam generators, economizers, superheaters, and boiler components often require crane access in congested areas with limited overhead clearance. Our fleet includes equipment specifically suited to these challenging lift environments.
Cooling Tower & Condenser Service
Cooling tower repairs, condenser tube replacements, and circulating water system maintenance often require cranes positioned on unimproved surfaces near water. Our rough terrain and all-terrain cranes handle these conditions while maintaining the precision your project demands.
Transformer & Electrical Equipment
Main power transformers, auxiliary transformers, switchgear, and high-voltage equipment require careful rigging and precise placement. We provide the certified operators and rigging expertise these critical lifts demand.
Stack & Emissions Equipment
Scrubbers, precipitators, SCR systems, and CEMS equipment installations and maintenance require cranes capable of reaching significant heights while maintaining stability. Our truck cranes and all-terrain units deliver the reach and capacity these projects require.
Decommissioning & Demolition Support
As Pennsylvania’s energy landscape transitions, many coal facilities require careful decommissioning. Sky Point Crane supports demolition contractors with the lifting services needed to safely dismantle and remove power generation equipment.

Pennsylvania's Power Generation Corridor
Homer City Energy Campus (Indiana County)
The former Homer City Generating Station—once Pennsylvania’s largest coal plant—is undergoing a $15 billion transformation into the nation’s largest natural gas-powered data center campus. With 4.4 GW of planned capacity, seven GE Vernova turbines, and construction creating over 10,000 jobs, this project represents the future of American energy infrastructure. Sky Point Crane is positioned just 7 miles away—ready to support the contractors building this landmark facility.
Conemaugh Generating Station (Indiana County)
This 1,872 MW baseload facility near New Florence has powered the region since the 1970s. Located on 1,750 acres along the Conemaugh River, the plant requires ongoing maintenance support and will need crane services for its eventual transition by 2028.
Keystone Generating Station (Armstrong County)
A 1,711 MW facility near Shelocta, Keystone is essentially a twin of Conemaugh. Both facilities require regular maintenance outage support and face similar transition timelines.
Seward Generating Station (Indiana County)
This facility near Seward represents the region’s continuing role in power generation, requiring crane support for maintenance and operations.
CPV Fairview Energy Center (Cambria County)
A modern natural gas facility representing Pennsylvania’s energy transition, requiring crane services for maintenance and equipment installation.
Supporting the Homer City Energy Campus
The Homer City Energy Campus represents the largest capital investment in Pennsylvania history—a $15 billion project transforming a decommissioned coal plant into a 4.4 GW natural gas-powered data center campus designed for AI and high-performance computing.
Key project facts:
– 3,200-acre campus with existing grid interconnections to PJM and NYISO
– Seven GE Vernova 7HA.02 hydrogen-enabled gas turbines
