Crane Rental & Rigging Services in Brooklyn, NY

A crane lift in New York City is half machine, half paperwork — DOT permits, street closures, engineered lift plans, and a certified operator who has done it on a street just like yours. This page collects every crane and rigging service Empire Crane Rigging NYC runs across the metro area, from single HVAC rooftop picks to knuckle-boom work on lots too tight for a standard mobile crane.

Each service below links to a full page on equipment, process, and pricing. If you know your load weight, pick radius, and date, we can usually quote the same day; if you only know what needs to move, call and we will spec the lift with you.

How a Lift Runs

Every booking follows the same path. First, the spec call: load, weight, start point, landing point, and date. Second, the plan — machine selection, radius math, permit filings, and a fixed written quote with city fees itemized. Third, lift day: the crane sets up inside the permitted window, the rigger walks the plan with your crew, and the pick happens once, cleanly. Fourth, teardown and street restoration before the permit window closes. If the plan says a lift should not happen as drawn, you hear that at step two, with the alternative that works.
