Mobile Crane Service in Dolan Springs
1 min readUpdated July 2026
Dolan Springs is 93 road miles from our Lake Havasu City yard, up the US-93 corridor in high desert country. It is the longest run we make north. Property here is large, often off the grid, and reached by long unpaved roads. Work is water tanks, well gear, generators, containers and steel.
The Furthest Run We Make North
Ninety three road miles is a serious trip for a boom truck. Two hours each way once you account for the last stretch of unpaved road. We do go, but it is always a planned day, and it is not something that can be arranged on the morning.
What makes it work is doing everything in one visit. Before we set out we want the complete list of what needs lifting, moving or setting, because a second trip out here effectively doubles the whole exercise. If neighbours need work too, that is a good reason to talk to them.
Off Grid Property in High Desert
Property up here is large and a lot of it is independent. Wells, storage tanks, pump houses, solar racking, battery enclosures and standby generators are the normal equipment, and all of it eventually needs setting, moving or repairing. Add containers, shop buildings, gates and equipment and that is most of the call list.
The elevation makes summer more workable here than on the river, which is a real advantage. Winter runs the other way, with cold mornings and the occasional snow, so winter jobs get planned for later in the day.
- Water storage tanks and pump houses
- Well heads, pumps and column pipe
- Standby generators, fuel storage and battery enclosures
- Containers, shop buildings and steel
- Solar racking and panel pallets for off grid systems
Distance and Dispatch
Dolan Springs is 93 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.
- 93 road miles. This is the far end of our range and it is always a planned trip.
- High desert. It is noticeably cooler than the river in summer and genuinely cold in winter.
- Large parcels, many of them off grid, with their own water and power equipment.
- Access is frequently several miles of unpaved road after the pavement ends.
- Cell coverage is patchy in places, so plan how we reach you on the day before we set out.
How the job runs
Our Process
Step 1: Send the whole list
One trip has to cover everything at this distance. Lifting, moving and setting all go on the same list before we plan the day.
Step 2: Describe the last few miles
Where the pavement ends, what the road is like after that, and whether anything has washed out. That stretch is what decides the trip.
Step 3: Agree how we reach you
Coverage is patchy. We settle a meeting point or a landmark in advance rather than relying on a phone call at the gate.
Step 4: One visit, everything on the list
Everything happens on the day. Lifts, sets and moves, because a return trip out here is close to a full day on its own.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you really come 93 miles to Dolan Springs?
Yes, as a planned day. It is the far edge of our normal range, so it is booked in advance and we make one visit do everything.
The last few miles are dirt. Is that a problem?
It depends on the surface. Graded and firm is fine. Deep sand, washouts and steep loose sections are where a loaded truck gets into trouble. Describe it honestly and we will judge it.
Can you set a water tank and the stand under it on the same visit?
Yes. The stand goes in first, then the tank. Doing it in two trips at this distance makes no sense.
Is summer better than winter up here?
Summer is more workable than it is on the river because of the elevation. Winter brings cold mornings that slow the start.
