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 the difference.

The Challenge: One Piece, No Room for Mistakes

Unlike modular buildings that move in sections, this mobile home needed to be handled as a single, unified structure. That meant careful attention to balance, lift points, and controlled movement throughout the entire process.

Key considerations included:

Proper weight distribution across the structure
Rigging that protected the frame and exterior
Maintaining level control during the lift
Accurate final placement to align with the site plan

Even a small shift during a lift like this can create unnecessary stress on the structure—so everything had to be done right the first time.

The Plan: Right Crane, Right Setup

For this lift, Patriot Lifting utilized a 110-ton truck crane, giving us the capacity and stability needed while maintaining flexibility on site. The team verified lift points, confirmed clearances, and conducted a pre-lift briefing so everyone involved understood the plan.

Clear communication between the operator and ground crew was critical—every movement was intentional and measured.

The Lift: Smooth, Controlled, and Confident

Once the mobile home was rigged, the lift began slowly and deliberately. The crane operator maintained steady control as the structure was raised, guided, and positioned.

Throughout the process, the focus remained on:

Preventing sway or twisting
Keeping the structure level
Making small, precise adjustments
Ensuring a clean, accurate set

The mobile home was placed exactly where it needed to be—without damage, delay, or incident.

The Result: A Successful Set and a Job Done Right

With the mobile home safely set, the project moved forward seamlessly. This lift reinforced a simple truth: even “smaller” structures demand professional crane handling when precision and safety matter.

Projects like this highlight Patriot Lifting’s ability to adapt our equipment and expertise to a wide range of lift scenarios—from heavy industrial work to specialized residential and modular placements.
