Actually being in the crane rental industry our big money jobs were transformers (electricians), Hydro towers (linemen) and HVAC...big lifts require a big crane and when a 3,700lb HVAC or Air Filtration unit had to go onto a roof top of a 500/600/700ft building right downtown the job would require a unit like an LTM1750-1, over 400 tons of ballast, and 450ft of luffing boom which attached to the 190ft main boom, 2 days mobilize and assemble and the same out at an average cost of $1,700.00 per hr x 40hrs plus freight on components, usually in the metro areas the average freight cost is around $40 000.00 - $60,000.00 and that's for maybe a half dozen lifts.(old units down new units up) and street closures...HVAC is best for us and most guys are good easy going guys.
