Parker's Crane Service provides crane rental, custom rigging, and heavy hauling for tank removal and installation projects. Our team handles the planning, the lift, and the transport, so your tank is set in place or removed with a focus on safety from start to finish. With over 40 years in the industry, we bring the equipment and experienced personnel these lifts require.

Crane Services for Tank Removal and Installation

Setting a new tank or removing an old one calls for the right crane, a clear lift plan, and a crew that knows how to rig and signal a heavy load. Parker's Crane brings all three to your job site. When you rent a crane from us for tank work, you can count on:

•       NCCCO certified operators
•       Certified and qualified riggers and signal persons
•       OSHA and MSHA qualified personnel
•       Free on-site quotes and evaluations
•       Lift plans built around your site and load
•       Custom rigging for your project
•       Heavy hauling to move equipment to and from the site
•       24/7 emergency service

Our inclusive services also cover staff resources, risk management, full maintenance options, insurance and safety programs, and competitive rates. That support takes one more thing off your plate while the job gets done.

How We Plan a Tank Lift

Every tank removal or installation starts with planning. Our process is designed to identify risks early and match the right equipment to your load.

1.     Contact our team: Share the basics of your project, including where the tank is located and what needs to happen.

2.     Free on-site evaluation: We visit the site to review the set-up area and conditions and provide a free quote.

3.     Lift plan: Our team prepares a lift plan that accounts for your load and site.

4.     Pre-lift job assessment: Before the crane goes to work, we complete a pre-lift assessment and on-site hazard analysis.

5.     Lift day: Our NCCCO certified operator, riggers, and signal persons carry out the lift according to plan.

6.     Transport: If the tank or equipment needs to travel, our heavy hauling fleet can handle the move.
