Three numbers set the price
Reach matters as much as weight. A crane loses capacity as the boom reaches out, so a 2,000 pound unit 40 feet from the truck can need a bigger crane than a heavier one right beside it.
- WeightThe spec sheet or the shipping paperwork usually lists it.
- ReachWhere the truck can park, and how far that is from where the load lands. Pace it off.
- HeightThe roof line, or the fence or cage it has to clear.
- Overhead and underfootPower lines, trees, soft lawn, a septic field, pavers or a driveway that might crack.
- PhotosThe setup spot and the landing spot. Keep them handy.
The operator works from the crane's own load chart for your setup and reach: OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1417, operation and load charts.
Got the weight and the reach?
That's most of a crane quote. Put them in the form with the town and get a price on your pick. No spec sheet handy? Send it anyway - weight and reach are optional.

Check these before lift day
Power lines
Federal crane rules make the operator plan around any line the crane or load could come within 20 feet of. Mention overhead lines on the form. (OSHA 1926.1408)
Ground
Outriggers need firm, level support. Lawns over sandy fill, fresh sod and pool decks may need mats or blocking, which can add to the price. (OSHA 1926.1402)
Near Naples Airport
A tall boom near a runway can require advance notice to the FAA, based on height and distance. Say so if your job is close. (14 CFR 77.9)
Weather
The operator follows the crane maker's wind limits, and summer storms can push a lift. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. (NOAA)

Quick answers
Is the operator included?
For a short job, usually yes. Operated rental means the crane comes with its operator. Rent one bare and the qualified operator, the insurance and the lift plan are on you.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on where the crane sets up. A crane on your driveway is one thing. A crane blocking a street is another. Ask the operator who pulls any street-use permit and whether it is in the price.
Can the operator send insurance paperwork?
Ask the operator. If a condo association, a property manager or your customer needs a certificate of insurance before the lift, put "COI needed" on the form so it is known up front.
How soon can a crane come out?
That comes down to the operator's schedule and the job. Put your date on the form if you have one.
Is this a crane company?
No. This site explains crane rental in Naples. If you send a request, we pass it to a local crane operator, who prices and does the work under their own business. About this site
