Mobile Crane Service in Fort Mohave

Flat Ground Makes This Easy

Fort Mohave sits on a flat terrace above the river. That is a real advantage for crane work. There is no cut pad, no retaining wall, no working uphill from the street. In most of the newer subdivisions we can put the truck where we want it, level up on flat ground and pick with a clean radius.

The newer areas also went in with underground utilities, which takes the overhead service drop out of the equation. That one difference makes a Fort Mohave HVAC changeout noticeably simpler than the same job on an older street somewhere else in the county.

Housing Work Is the Bulk of It

Manufactured and modular housing is a big part of what is here, mixed in with newer stick built subdivisions. That gives us two kinds of work side by side. Sections get set on new placements, and older units get roof mounted equipment changed, carports built, awnings replaced and frames repaired.

The stick built side brings trusses, beams and roof mounted package units. New construction is easier when we come before the block wall goes up, so if you are building, call while the lot is still open. Once the walls are in, the same set becomes an over the wall lift.

• Manufactured and modular section setting
• Roof mounted and package HVAC changeouts
• Roof trusses and structural beams on new builds
• Spas, sheds and backyard equipment over walls
• Carports, patio covers and awning steel
• Generator and mechanical equipment placement

Sand, Pads and the Unpaved Edges

Away from the paved subdivisions there are plenty of graded lots and dirt approaches out here, and the surface is blow sand more often than it is hard caliche. Sand does not carry an outrigger the way a hard layer does. We come with pads sized for the worst surface described to us, and if nobody describes it we assume the worst.

It matters most on new placements and on lots that have not been built on yet. A photo of the approach and the pad area, taken from where a truck would come in, saves everyone a wasted trip.

Distance and Dispatch

Fort Mohave is 53 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. Middle dispatch band. Same day depends on what is already booked that day.

• Sits on a flat terrace above the river, so almost every setup is level ground rather than a cut pad on grade.
• Heavy on manufactured and modular housing mixed with newer stick built subdivisions.
• Newer subdivisions have wide streets and underground utilities, which removes the overhead line problem entirely.
• Blow sand collects on shoulders and unpaved lots. Sand under an outrigger needs a wider pad than caliche does.
• 53 road miles is a comfortable second tier run, but it still means a booked day rather than a call at nine for a lift at ten.
