Truss setting crane service in Monroe, LA
Setting trusses by crane saves your crew hours and keeps people off ladders. A boom truck or small hydraulic crane with an operator lifts each truss into place while your framers land and brace it.
What we can request for you
- Residential and commercial roof truss sets
- Floor trusses, LVL and steel beams
- Wall panels and SIPs
- Precast steps, panels and lintels
- Metal building frames and purlins
- Rooftop units and materials once the roof is on
How a truss set usually works
The crane operator runs the crane and rigging. Your framing crew guides each truss, lands it on the walls and braces it. Plan to have the trusses delivered and staged close to the building, the top plates ready, and your crew on site before the crane arrives, since most operators bill by the hour from the time they show up.
Help the operator quote it
- Number of trusses and the longest span
- Building height (one or two stories)
- Where trusses are staged and where the crane can set up
- Overhead power lines or tight lots
- Date, and a backup date in case of weather
Questions
How long does a truss set take?
It depends on the number of trusses, the roof layout and how ready the site is. A straightforward house is often a few hours; larger or complex roofs take longer.
Do I need my own crew?
Yes, in most cases. The operator runs the crane, and your crew lands and braces the trusses. Ask if you need a rigger as well.
Can the crane set from the street?
Sometimes, if the reach works and the street can be used safely. Mention the lot layout so the operator can pick the right size.
