An all-terrain crane combines highway mobility with the capacity and reach of a much larger machine. For heavy or tall lifts in the Buffalo-Niagara region it is often the fastest way to get a big crane on site.
All-terrain cranes typically range from roughly 60 to 500 tons or more, and travel on public roads, which cuts mobilization time compared with crawler cranes.
Lake-effect snow, wind off Lake Erie and frozen or thawing ground change how a crane can be set up, so winter lifts are planned around ground conditions and wind limits.
Lifts that affect a city street, sidewalk or lane typically need a municipal permit, and the rules differ between the city of Buffalo and the surrounding towns.
When the load is heavy, the radius is long or the hook height is high enough that a smaller crane runs out of capacity. An operator can check the load chart for your lift and tell you which class of crane fits.
They handle uneven ground better than a standard truck crane, but heavy cranes still need firm, level support. Soft ground usually calls for mats, which the operator can provide.
Price depends on the size of the crane, how long you need it, whether it comes with an operator and rigging, and how far it has to travel to your site. Most operators have a minimum number of hours, plus mobilization and any permit costs. We do not quote a flat number because it would be misleading; send your lift details and you will get a written estimate from an operator.

You will be working with one of our local partner crane crews in the Buffalo-Niagara region. They send you a written quote and handle the lift with their own crane, certified operator and insurance. Before the lift, ask for their certificate of insurance and operator certification; our partners will send them right away.
