Generator Crane Lifts in South Florida

Generators are dense, awkward and expensive. They also tend to live in the worst possible spot: a side yard behind a fence, or a roof deck four stories up.

Hurricane season keeps this one busy. Residential standby units, commercial sets and rooftop installs all come down to the same problem: a very heavy object that has to land exactly on the anchor bolts, often over a wall, a pool cage or a finished driveway.

We set them slow and we set them square. An operator who rushes a generator pick is how pads get cracked and how enclosures get scratched before the thing has ever run.

What we ask about first

  • Dry weight of the setOff the nameplate or the spec sheet. Residential standby is often 400 to 800 lb; commercial sets run several tons.
  • Pad or roof, and how far inReach is usually the constraint, not capacity. A light unit far from the truck needs a bigger machine than a heavy one up close.
  • What we have to clearPool cages, walls, fences, awnings and power lines all change the pick.
  • Anchor set readyIf the pad is poured and the bolts are set, we can land it once and be done.

Rooftop and platform sets

Rooftop generator work is the 35-ton and 40-ton end of our fleet, and it is the kind of lift where the crane has to reach high and far at the same time. Send a photo of the building and the intended location and we will tell you straight whether it is a one-crane job.

For emergency replacement after a storm, call the yard directly. Schedules move fast in that window and the phone gets you a real answer quicker than a form.

Generator Lift Questions

Yes. Every Cooper Crane machine comes with a certified, experienced operator who handles the rigging and signaling. There is no separate operator to hire.
Every job from West Palm Beach to South Miami: Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, out of one Broward yard on one number, (954) 445-6186.
Tell us how heavy the load is, how high it has to go and how far the crane has to reach, plus any access limits. We spec the right machine on the call, and we pick the smallest one that safely does the job.
Earlier is better for scheduling, but we keep multiple machines in the yard and will always try to work in urgent and same-week lifts.
