Crane Service

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

Some lifts are all about size. Others are all about precision. This one required both. Patriot Lifting was recently on site to lift and place a 45,000-pound precast concrete bathroom , setting it 45 feet into position  with controlled crane operation and careful coordination. The Challenge: Heavy and Pre-Assembled Unlike standard construction materials, precast concrete bathrooms arrive fully built. That means: The entire structure must be lifted as one unit Internal componen

Sometimes a lift isn’t just about installation it’s about helping something move on to its next home. Patriot Lifting recently returned to a property where we had previously helped set a swim spa for the homeowner . With a move to a new house on the horizon, the homeowner wanted to take the swim spa along with them. That meant safely removing the spa, transporting it, and preparing it for placement at the new location. Projects like this highlight the versatility of crane ser

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

Shipping containers have become a common part of many construction and commercial projects. From storage solutions and jobsite offices to specialized structures and modular builds, containers often need to be placed in locations where traditional equipment can’t easily reach. That’s where Patriot Lifting comes in. With the right crane setup, proper rigging, and experienced operators, we help contractors and property owners lift and place shipping containers safely and efficie

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

Generators are critical pieces of equipment. Whether they’re powering commercial buildings, supporting industrial facilities, or providing backup power for essential services, they have one job. Keep things running. But before they ever turn on, they have to be lifted and placed correctly. At Patriot Lifting, we regularly support generator installations , handling everything from rooftop placements to ground-level pads and tight-access sets. These lifts require more than capa

At Patriot Lifting, cranes may do the heavy lifting but it’s our team that makes it possible. Behind every successful pick, every smooth set, and every on-time project is a group of people working together with one shared goal: get the job done safely and done right. It Starts Before the Lift Teamwork doesn’t begin when the load leaves the ground. It starts long before that. Every project involves: Planning the lift sequence Reviewing load weights and configurations Coordinat

Behind every smooth running business is infrastructure that most people never see. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to assist with the installation of a precast grease trap  for a new quick lube location in Oakwood . While it may not be visible once installed, this critical component plays a key role in proper drainage and environmental compliance for automotive service facilities. The Challenge: Heavy Precast, Tight Placement Precast grease traps are dense, heavy concr

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

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. As we turn the page, we’re incredibly grateful for where we’ve been and even more excited about where we’re going. Over the past year, we’ve tackled challenging lifts, expanded our capabilities, invested in equipment, and continued to grow alongside our customers. From complex industrial projects to time-sensitive emergency calls and precision resi

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

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

Heavy concrete placement is one of the most demanding tasks in crane operations. When each piece weighs 40,000 pounds  and must be set into the ground with exact alignment , there is no room for error. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to support a project requiring the placement of massive precast concrete components. The job demanded controlled movement, experienced operators, and flawless communication to ensure each piece was lowered safely and positioned exactly whe

In crane work, not every call comes with weeks of planning. Some of the most critical jobs happen with little notice, tight windows, and high operational pressure. That was the case when Patriot Lifting received an emergency lift call  to unload a 44,000-pound air tractor , a specialized vehicle used to move aircraft between gates to reduce fuel consumption. With airport operations depending on fast turnaround and zero room for delays, reliability wasn’t just important, it wa
