Mobile Crane Service in Chloride, Arizona

Narrow Streets and Old Buildings

Chloride is not laid out for heavy equipment. Streets are narrow, several are unpaved, and a fair few finish without room for a large truck to turn. Buildings sit close to the road and many of them are old. That combination means the setup position is the hard part of nearly every job here, and it is worth solving with photos before anyone drives 80 miles.

For most Chloride work the 22 ton truck is the right answer. Not because the load is light, but because it fits. When the bigger truck is genuinely needed we plan the approach and the turnaround in advance rather than improvising on a hill.

Rock, Grade and the Trip

The ground here is rocky foothill material rather than the sand and silt of the river bottom. That is generally good under an outrigger, but the grade is not. Streets climb and properties sit on cut benches, so levelling the truck takes more cribbing than it does on the flat.

At 80 miles this is a third tier run. It works best combined with Kingman or Golden Valley work on the same day, since they are on the same side of the county. Tell us what else is nearby when you book and we will build the trip properly.

• Mechanical and rooftop equipment on small historic buildings
• Structural steel and beams for old structures
• Equipment, containers and tanks
• Generators and mechanical placement
• Roofing material onto older buildings

Distance and Dispatch

Chloride is 80 road miles from our yard at 850 London Bridge Rd in Lake Havasu City. That is measured by road, not straight line, because the road distance is what actually decides how a day gets scheduled. Outer dispatch band. Usually booked ahead, and it makes sense to group work in the area.

• 80 road miles, third dispatch tier. A booked day, best combined with other work in the Kingman area.
• The town sits up against the Cerbat foothills, so streets climb and the ground is rocky rather than sandy.
• Many streets are narrow and unpaved with no real turnaround at the end.
• Old buildings sit close to the road. The 22 ton truck is usually the right choice on footprint alone.
• Higher and cooler than the valley below, which lengthens the summer working day.
