Crane and Rigging Service Areas in NYC

If your jobsite is in the five boroughs, we cover it. Below is where we work most, what we typically get called for in each area, and the local conditions that decide how a lift gets planned. If you do not see your neighborhood, call anyway. The answer is usually yes.

Manhattan

Manhattan is the hardest place in the country to run a crane, and most of the difficulty has nothing to do with the lift itself. Air rights, Con Edison overhead restrictions, DOT operating windows and OCMC coordination decide the schedule before anyone picks up a load. Buildings with zero setback from the sidewalk need a lane closure and a sidewalk bridge just to set up.

Where we work: Midtown, the Financial District, Lower Manhattan, Chelsea, SoHo, Tribeca, the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side.

Typical calls are rooftop mechanical work, cooling towers and chillers, structural steel on tight sites, and machinery moves in and out of buildings that were never designed for it. Overnight and weekend windows are normal here, not an exception.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn puts two very different jobs on the same borough. The waterfront development corridor runs new construction picks and modular work, while the older brownstone and townhouse stock needs mechanical upgrades craned over the building because there is no other way in.

Where we work: Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Bushwick, Red Hook and Sunset Park.

Expect narrow residential streets, parked cars, and neighbors. Setup planning matters more here than raw capacity.

Queens

Queens carries the city's biggest industrial corridors alongside heavy commercial and residential construction. It is the borough where we do the widest range of work.

Where we work: Astoria, Flushing, Jamaica, Maspeth, Woodside and Ridgewood.

Industrial equipment placement in Maspeth and Woodside, commercial signage, rooftop mechanical across Astoria, and logistics and infrastructure work near JFK and LaGuardia, where airport proximity puts a hard ceiling on boom height.

Long Island City

LIC sits inside Queens but behaves like its own market. High-rise construction, mechanical hoisting and tower crane picks, on sites that are often tight against active roads and rail.

If you are building in LIC, the constraint is usually staging space rather than reach. Tell us the street and we will tell you what fits.

The Bronx

Wide commercial avenues and highway access make the Bronx more forgiving to set up in than Manhattan, and there is a steady pipeline of residential and industrial work.

Where we work: the South Bronx, Hunts Point, Mott Haven, Fordham, University Heights and Pelham.

Commercial and industrial equipment hoisting, structural steel and material placement on new residential construction, logistics facility work through the Hunts Point corridor, and healthcare campus equipment installs.

Staten Island and Westchester

We take work on Staten Island and up into White Plains, though less often than the boroughs above. Staten Island jobs are usually residential HVAC, solar and rooftop equipment, plus commercial work along the North Shore development corridor. Lower density means we can often bring larger equipment than a Manhattan site would allow.

Where we work: St. George, Stapleton, New Dorp and the North Shore. White Plains and the surrounding Westchester area.

New Jersey

We are licensed to work in New Jersey and we pull our own NJDOT permits rather than handing that back to the general contractor. Most of our work is on the New York side, but if you have a job across the river, ask.
