Seasonal Crane Services for Truss & HVAC Lifts
Jake’s Top Notch Tree Service offers limited, focused seasonal crane services specifically for roof truss setting and HVAC unit placement. These services are designed to support local builders, framers, and HVAC contractors—without competing with our core tree service operations.
During the winter months, crane availability is expanded with flexible scheduling and priority given to truss and HVAC jobs. This approach allows equipment and skilled operators to stay productive during the off-season while continuing to prioritize tree service work year-round.
Certified, Experienced Crane Operators
All crane services are performed by highly trained professionals with nationally recognized certifications. Jake’s Top Notch Tree Service employs NCCCO Certified and NCCER Certified Crane Operators, ensuring every lift is handled with precision, safety, and industry-approved best practices. These certifications reflect a commitment to proper training, operational excellence, and jobsite safety on every project.
Purpose-Driven, Not Full-Time
Why We Offer Seasonal Crane Services
Seasonal crane services exist to serve a clear purpose—supporting builders during slower winter months while keeping experienced operators working and equipment in use. This is not a full-service crane rental operation, but a practical, seasonal offering built around specific needs.
- Support local contractors during the winter off-season
- Keep skilled operators working year-round
- Maximize equipment use during frozen-ground months

What’s Outside Our Scope
What Our Crane Services Do Not Include
To protect our core operations and maintain reliable service, crane work is intentionally limited in scope. Jobs that fall outside roof truss setting or HVAC placement are declined or referred out to ensure expectations remain clear and service quality stays consistent.
We do not offer general crane rentals, industrial or multi-day projects, multi-crane jobs, steel erection, heavy precast work, long-distance mobilizations, or bare crane rentals.
Jobsite Readiness Matters
Site Requirements & Responsibilities
To ensure a safe and efficient lift, the jobsite must meet all requirements before the crane arrives. Please note: if the crane arrives and the site is not ready, the clock runs. Proper preparation helps keep the project on schedule and the lift safe for everyone involved.
Site Access & Ground Conditions
Clear access and frozen or stable ground conditions are required for safe crane setup and operation.
Load & Setup Accuracy
Accurate load weights and adequate setup space must be provided before arrival.
Permits & Preparedness
All necessary permits must be obtained before the scheduled lift. If the site isn’t ready when the crane arrives, billing time will still commences.
Safety & Communication
Onsite coordination with crew and adherence to safety protocols are essential for a smooth, efficient lift.
Seasonal Scheduling Guidelines
Booking & Availability Expectations
Winter is the primary season for crane services, operating on a first-come, first-served basis with priority scheduling available—ideal for builders planning ahead. During peak tree season, crane jobs are scheduled around tree work, availability is limited, and emergency tree service takes priority.
A minimum three-hour booking applies to all crane jobs. Overtime applies after eight hours or after 5:00 PM. Availability, rates, and scheduling details are confirmed at booking to ensure clear communication and realistic expectations.
