Crane

Some lifts push the limits of what equipment and operators can handle. Patriot Lifting was recently on site to perform an extreme heavy lift , using our 165-ton mobile crane  to pick and move a 100,000-pound military tank . With massive weight, unique geometry, and zero room for error, this was a lift that required detailed planning and complete control from start to finish. Projects like this showcase what true heavy lifting looks like. The Challenge: Massive Weight and Unco

Roofing projects move fast but only when materials are where they need to be. That’s where Patriot Lifting comes in. From shingles and membrane rolls to equipment and structural components, we help roofing crews get materials from the ground to the roof quickly, safely, and efficiently . Whether it’s a low-slope commercial building or a multi-story structure, crane support plays a key role in keeping projects on schedule. The Challenge: Getting Materials to the Roof Transport

Steel trusses are a key part of many commercial and industrial buildings, forming the structural framework that supports the roof and defines the shape of the building. Installing them requires careful coordination, precise crane operation, and experienced crews on the ground and in the air. Patriot Lifting recently supported a construction project in Winder , where our crane was used to lift and place large steel trusses  as the structure of a new building began to take shap

Some lifts demand more than capacity they demand trust, planning, and complete coordination between operator and crew. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to lift and place a large piece of electrical switchgear , a critical component used in commercial power systems. The lift required closing off half of the roadway  and executing a blind lift over a line of trees , making communication and precision absolutely essential. Projects like this highlight the level of planning

Some lifts demand more than capacity they demand coordination, timing, and trust. And when those lifts happen at night, the stakes get even higher. Patriot Lifting recently completed a night dual crane lift , where two cranes worked in sync to safely move and position a large structural component. With limited daylight and heightened visibility concerns, this operation required detailed planning and disciplined execution from start to finish. Why a Dual Crane Setup Was Neces

Precast concrete and structural steel are the backbone of modern commercial construction. When those two systems come together, precision is everything. Patriot Lifting was recently on site using our 165-ton mobile crane  to lift and set precast concrete components onto structural steel beams , helping bring a new building to life. Projects like this showcase not just lifting capacity but coordination, planning, and disciplined execution. The Challenge: Heavy Precast, Elevate

Not every jobsite is clean and dry but that doesn’t change the standard. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to support a roofing project that required lifting materials 150 feet to the top of a building . While the ground was properly secured and stable for setup, the surrounding jobsite was muddy and wet from recent weather, adding an extra layer of challenge to the operation. The mission remained the same: deliver materials safely, efficiently, and without delay. The Ch

Not every lift challenge is about weight sometimes it’s about access. Patriot Lifting was recently called to assist with placing a swim spa at a mountain home , where steep terrain created an unexpected obstacle. The delivery truck transporting the swim spa simply couldn’t make it up the hill to reach the house or the crane. The Challenge: Steep Grade, Limited Access Mountain properties offer beautiful views but they often come with tight roads, sharp grades, and limited turn

We’re excited to announce the newest addition to the Patriot Lifting fleet a Grove GMK 5165 all-terrain crane . This powerful, versatile machine expands our capabilities and reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance crane service across Georgia and beyond. Whether it’s large industrial installs, precast placements, or multi-crane operations, this crane gives our team more strength, reach, and flexibility on every job. Built for Power and Precision The

Some lifts stop people in their tracks. This was one of them. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to assist with the relocation of a 92,000-pound military tank  in Griffin . With its massive weight, wide footprint, and historical significance, this was not a routine pick. It was a lift that required planning, exact rigging, and complete control from start to finish. The Challenge: Extreme Weight and Unique Geometry Military vehicles are built for durability, not convenienc

Sign installations may look simple from the road but lifting and setting a large monument sign requires careful planning, controlled movement, and experienced crews. Patriot Lifting was recently on site in Stockbridge  to assist with the installation of a JP monument sign , featuring major tenant branding including Burger King. The sign needed to be lifted, aligned, and set cleanly without damage to surrounding property or infrastructure. The Challenge: Tall, Heavy, and High-

The Importance of Planning in Industrial Dismantling Taking down a plant is not a simple task. These facilities consist of large, interconnected components that require careful sequencing, controlled lifting, and constant communication. When I was called in to support the dismantling of an asphalt plant in Douglasville , the scope of the project necessitated a dual crane setup to ensure safety and efficiency. This job demanded teamwork, meticulous planning, and precision fro

Not every crane job is about placing something new. Sometimes it’s about removing what’s already there safely and efficiently. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to assist with a residential spa removal , where a large, built-in spa needed to be lifted out of a backyard and removed without damaging the surrounding home, decking, or landscaping. While conditions were slightly damp, the focus of this job was precision, coordination, and protecting the property throughout th

Some projects don’t start with a lift. They start with building the crane itself. Patriot Lifting was recently brought in to support work at an industrial plant in Carnesville , where access was required to a 230-foot stack . Reaching that height safely demanded careful planning, proper crane configuration, and disciplined execution from the very beginning. This was a project where preparation was just as important as performance. The Challenge: Height, Reach, and Precision A

Not every job calls for a large crane and that’s where the boom truck shines. At Patriot Lifting, our boom truck plays a critical role in supporting projects that require flexibility, efficiency, and quick setup. It’s one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in our fleet and a go-to solution for a wide range of lifting needs. What Is a Boom Truck? A boom truck combines the mobility of a truck with the lifting capability of a crane. Mounted on a road-legal truck chassis,

Not every lift happens on an open jobsite. Some require careful planning, tight clearances, and absolute precision—especially in residential neighborhoods. Patriot Lifting was recently called to set a swimming pool into a backyard in Marietta , with one major challenge: the pool had to be lifted over the house  to reach its final location. With limited access and finished property below, this was a lift where every detail mattered. The Challenge: Tight Access and Zero Room fo

The start of a new year is always a moment to pause, reflect, and look forward. At Patriot Lifting, it’s also a time of momentum.

Lifting a mobile home may look straightforward—but when you’re dealing with a fully built structure, weight distribution, and tight placement requirements, precision matters just as much as capacity. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to lift and set a small mobile home  using our 110-ton crane , ensuring the structure was moved safely, smoothly, and positioned exactly as required. This project was a great example of how the right equipment and experienced crew make all t

This season is about family, rest, reflection, and gratitude. Whether you’re spending time at home, traveling, or taking a well-earned bre

Some days at Patriot Lifting stand out more than others. Not because of a jobsite deadline or a tough pick but because of what those days represent. The day our new 165-ton crane  arrived was one of those moments. We documented the entire experience on video from early morning logistics to the moment the crane rolled into the yard—and it perfectly captures what growth looks like behind the scenes. The Day Started with Logistics, Not Glamour Before the crane itself ever showed
