Executing high-stakes HVAC crane lifts and providing specialized crane rental services in the Pacific Northwest requires absolute precision, zero-margin-for-error rigging, and seamless site coordination. Mechanical contractors and project managers do not need to be told how tight pick windows are or how costly downtime can be—you need a licensed crane services contractor that operates with total technical authority. From hoisting multi-ton chillers over elevated parapets to setting air handling units into congested mechanical rooms, Jacked Co delivers turnkey crane hire and rigging solutions complete with engineered lift plans, specialized equipment, and long-reach hydraulic mobile cranes.

Crane Service Pros Experienced in HVAC and Mechanical Lifts
HVAC and mechanical lifts encompass the moving, hoisting, and setting of heavy thermal, fluid, and air-handling infrastructure across commercial, industrial, and institutional job sites. These projects typically involve high-tonnage rooftop swaps, structural steel placement, and maneuvering massive equipment into tight spaces.
Success on these job sites demands precise load-weight distribution, custom rigging geometry, and absolute control over boom deflections to safeguard both the payload and the host structure. From the initial site survey to lift plan to permitting, rigging, and the pick itself, we offer turnkey lifting and rigging services with our NCCCO-certified operators and versatile crane fleet:
- Telescopic Boom — Swing Cab (TLL): Long-reach hydraulic mobility paired with optimal operator visibility, ideal for deep rooftop sets and tight urban pick windows.
- Telescopic Boom — Fixed Cab (TSS): Fast mobilization and compact footprints designed for agile, short-radius picks and light-to-mid-tonnage RTU swaps.
- Lattice Boom Crawler (LBC): Maximum heavy-tonnage lifting power and high structural stability on soft or unpaved industrial job sites.
- Lattice Boom Truck (LBT): Long-boom radius capability combined with rapid highway transport for high-rise setback picks across multiple sites.

Comprehensive Turnkey Crane Support for Heavy Lifts
Our end-to-end turnkey crane support manages every phase of your heavy lift, accommodating mechanical units ranging from 2,000 lbs to well over 50,000 lbs.
From site feasibility to final equipment placement, we deliver complete logistical execution when positioning infrastructure in structurally sensitive or physically constrained areas, such as elevated roofs, cramped basements, or active facility interiors.
Specialized Crane Pick & Rigging Execution Methods
- Rooftop Picks: Deploying mobile or hydraulic all-terrain cranes to hoist package units, chillers, or cooling towers over building perimeters directly onto rooftop curbs or vibration isolator frames.
- Tight-Space & Indoor Rigging: Deploying jack-and-slide systems, low-clearance gantries, and heavy-duty machinery skates to maneuver heavy units through doorways and into tight mechanical vaults without structural damage.
- Road Closures & Safety Planning: Coordinating multi-agency permits, street closures, detour routes, and detailed safety boundaries when placing cranes in busy public thoroughfares.
Heavy Mechanical Infrastructure We Hoist & Position
- Rooftop Units (RTUs) & Package Units: Commercial heating and cooling systems hoisted onto rooftop mounting frames.
- Chillers & Cooling Towers: Heavy fluid heat-exchange units for commercial or industrial facilities.
- Air Handling Units (AHUs): Modular blower, coil, and filter sections staged for assembly in mechanical shafts or roofs.
- Boilers & Furnaces: High-capacity thermal pressure vessels and industrial heating units.
- Pumps & Compressor Skids: High-density skid-mounted fluid and gas transfer systems.
- Piping Assemblies & Manifolds: Pre-fabricated, heavy-gauge steel runs for mechanical utility infrastructure.
- Exhaust Fans & Ductwork Packs: Large-scale commercial air extraction systems for specialized facilities.
- Generators & Transformers: Backup electrical and mechanical power infrastructure.

HVAC and Mechanical Crane Rental FAQs
Crane sizing depends on total gross weight (equipment plus rigging hardware), working radius (distance from the crane’s center of rotation to the placement point), and required tip height over building parapets. For example, hoisting a 15,000 lb chiller 120 feet deep onto a 6-story roof often requires a 150- to 250-ton all-terrain hydraulic crane.
Jacked Co runs 3D lift simulations to calculate exact boom deflections, counterweight configurations, and radii before equipment mobilizes.
When overhead clearance prevents mobile crane picks, specialized low-profile rigging gear is deployed. We utilize compact electric-powered gantries, hydraulic jack-and-slide systems, low-clearance machinery skates, and air casters.
This equipment allows us to move heavy chillers, boilers, or electrical skids through narrow access doors and roll them onto housekeeping pads inside tight basement mechanical rooms without structural alterations.
Permit timelines in Oregon and Washington depend heavily on traffic impact and local jurisdiction requirements. Standard lane blockages, sidewalk closures, and parking bay reservations typically require 5 to 10 business days for agency approval.
For complex setups requiring full road detours or night picks in high-density areas, more time may be needed to manage the entire process — including traffic control plans (TCP) and certified flagger coordination — to ensure full compliance without delaying your mechanical schedule.
