Fellas, I really need to rent a crane. Does anyone have any insight into how to go about this? tia.

Make sure your will is in order, insurance is taken care of, etc. I'll listen off the air.

man i initially thought he meant construction machine. sd-please clarify, do you need to rent the animal or the machine?

Pretty sure they have some at Quivera this year. Prob could just go grab one you like. Hope this helps.

There's been one sitting down at the Plaza doing nothing for a long time now. Pretty sure you could use it and no one would notice.

How tall of a crane are you looking for? Something tall enough to hang a banner from in case a plane couldn't be rented?

Crane, train, or automobile?

The tallest free standing crane in North America is currently in Topeka. Did you know that Ichabodcat?

I have a buddy named Matt River who is in the crane rental industry. I'll try and get him to post in this thread.

Sounds prime for an SD post in Crimes Allegedly Committed thread.

I'm in Northern California if this helps

You can usually go to a job site that has a crane, slip the operator a $20, and he'll come do the job for you.

I'm going to be needing as many cranes as we can get our hands on. San Jose area fwiw. I'm talking renting out an entire crane rental company's stock of rental cranes and using them for, like, 2 years or more. Really lining the pockets of some lucky crane rental place with gold if you know what I mean. Anyone?

steve dave · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2010, 01:06:00 PM »

I'm also going to need some to operate and maintain the cranes for me (I pay big bucks for this fwiw). On top of that I'll require trucking and heavy haul and may need some rigging crews and accessories but we'll know more once we see how many cranes we can get. ANYONE!?

SD, I've driven a four wheeler three times before. I believe I am qualified. Let me know when I can start.

CNS · « **Reply #21 on:** October 27, 2010, 01:14:06 PM »

I have never operated any of that crap before. That said, it's just a couple buttons and levers. On the job training. I'm in, but I am not cheap. Also, I will need you to move your job to KC rather than San Jose.

MeatSauce · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2010, 01:23:28 PM »

I have 50+ hrs(but <75) of forklift experience, plus I worked construction for 2 summers, and laid the tile in my bathroom. Are you looking for a foreman? I still have my toolbelt, and boots, and hardhat....so I'm ready to go. PM resume?

steve dave · « **Reply #23 on:** October 27, 2010, 01:26:58 PM »

Fellas, I appreciate the interest but I'd prefer to "one stop shop" with someplace that can provide everything I'm looking for. If only there were some, I don't know, king of all crane rental type places in the San Jose area. I'd really like to hook up with the best if you catch my drift.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #24 on:** October 27, 2010, 01:44:31 PM »

Anyone in the crane industry is a damned fool. In this economy, you'd be better off giving handjobs for nickels. Good luck finding this idiot, SD
