Bay Area Crane Rental & Tree Placement

Bay Area crane rental with certified operators—planned picks, safe lifts, and precise placement for heavy or hard-to-access installs.

$600.00

Plan heavy lifts and precise tree placement with Victory Nursery's Bay Area crane rental service. Certified operators help with large landscape trees, specimen placement and other heavy or hard-to-access installations, subject to site review and lift planning.

Service Rates

Base service: $600 — includes the first 2 hours on-site.
Additional time: $250 per hour — applies after the initial 2 hours.

The overtime option is an additional hourly charge, not a standalone crane booking. Pricing may vary when permits, traffic control, limited access or extended setup require additional coordination. Contact us to confirm the lift plan and scheduling before booking.

Large Tree Lifting & Placement

Our service is designed for landscape trees in 24–60 inch boxes. For larger specimen projects, explore our 36-inch box trees and 48-inch box trees to plan tree selection, delivery and placement together.

Box size alone does not confirm whether a tree can be lifted. Final capacity depends on the actual load weight, pick radius, boom length and angle, ground conditions, site setup and rigging method. Capacity is confirmed during lift planning.

Site Access Requirements

Vertical clearance: 25–30 ft. Review tree canopy, rooflines, overhead lines and other obstructions along the route and lift area.
Road or driveway width: at least 17 ft. Space is needed for truck positioning and outrigger deployment.
Truck and rigging clearance: 35.6 ft total length. Access must be straight or allow adequate maneuvering.

These dimensions are initial planning requirements, not site approval or power-line clearance guidance. If access is limited or unclear, send photos for review before scheduling.

What to Send Before Scheduling

Jobsite address and preferred date or time window.
Load description, approximate weight and dimensions; for trees, include the variety and box size.
Photos of the driveway, gate, overhead obstructions and final placement area.
Any known access restrictions or potential street-occupancy requirements.

Request a crane service site review so we can assess access, equipment needs and the planned placement.

Q1: What types of projects can a crane help with?
Tree installation/relocation, large specimen placement, hot tub or equipment set, steel/beam lifts, rooftop HVAC lifts, and other heavy or awkward picks.

Q2: Do you provide an operator, or can we rent the crane only?
Most projects are provided with an operator. If you need bare rental, we can discuss requirements and site responsibilities.

Q3: How do you determine crane size and cost?
It depends on load weight, pick radius, boom length, ground conditions, and access. Photos, measurements, and a brief site check help us quote accurately.

Q4: What do you need from me before scheduling?
Address, desired date/time window, load description (what’s being lifted), approximate weight/dimensions, and a few site photos (driveway, gate, overhead lines, landing spot).

Q5: Do I need permits or traffic control?
Sometimes. If street occupancy or lane closure is needed, permits may be required. We’ll flag it early and align on who pulls permits.

Q6: Is insurance included?
We carry standard coverage and can provide COI details upon request. Additional insured certificates can usually be issued for the jobsite.

Locally tuned plant selection

We visit nurseries and orchards across California and only bring in trees that perform well in Bay Area microclimates — from foggy Daly City to hot Tri-Valley backyards.

From nursery to your yard, not a warehouse

Your trees travel through our own distribution base, not a random freight network. That means better handling, fewer broken branches, and plants that arrive ready to thrive.
