Not every crane job involves placing permanent structures. Some of the most important lifts happen behind the scenes moving the equipment that allows critical work to move forward. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to pick up and handle a special tool  required for an upcoming job at a battery manufacturing plant . While the tool itself wasn’t part of the final installation, it played a key role in the success of the overall project. The Challenge: Handling Specialized E

Loading dirt equipment may seem routine but when you’re dealing with heavy machines, tight clearances, and transportation schedules, precision matters. Patriot Lifting was recently called in to load dirt equipment onto a trailer , ensuring each piece was handled safely, positioned correctly, and secured for transport. Jobs like this highlight the importance of experience and planning even when the task looks straightforward. The Challenge: Heavy Equipment and Transportation R

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

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.

Over the past year, we’ve tackled challenging lifts, expanded our capabilities, invested in equipment, and continued to grow alongside our customers.

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

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
