Operated cranes and picker trucks for Cochrane's acreage builds, hillside lots, and custom homes — where the setup matters as much as the lift.
Cochrane's growth has been largely residential and rural — custom homes on sloped lots, acreages in the surrounding country, and the steady commercial build-out through town. That terrain is the defining factor for crane work here. A hillside lot or an unfinished acreage site isn't a flat commercial pad, so where the crane sets up, how level it can get, and what's under the outriggers all shape the plan before anything lifts.
That's why a lot of Cochrane work calls for a rough-terrain crane — it handles unimproved and uneven ground that a road-legal truck crane can't. For finished sites and prepared pads, a mobile crane does the job. We plan cribbing and matting for soft or sloped ground as part of the lift, not as an afterthought on site.
The single most useful thing you can send us for a Cochrane lift is a photo of the site and where a crane might set up. Slope, access, and ground conditions decide the crane class and the matting plan — and getting those right up front is the difference between a clean lift and a wasted trip. Tell us the weight, the reach, and what the ground is like, and we'll quote it properly.
Cochrane lifts are quoted on crane class, ground conditions, operator time, and mobilization. Every lift is quoted in writing.
