Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of cranes does Tipton Crane provide?

    Tipton Crane specializes in tower and self erecting cranes in TN and GA suitable for a wide range of construction projects. Our fleet includes compact self erecting models for urban sites, larger tower cranes for mid-to-large scale developments, and specialty configurations for constrained or high-capacity lifts. We pair equipment choice with expert guidance so you get the right machine for your job.

  • What are the common uses for tower and self erecting cranes in TN?

    Tower and self erecting cranes in GA and TN are used for lifting materials, placing structural elements, and moving heavy equipment on construction sites. Typical projects include residential and commercial buildings, multi-story renovations, concrete pours, façade installation, and infrastructure work. They excel in urban environments where height, reach, and precision matter most.

  • How do I choose the right crane for my project?

    Choosing the right crane depends on project height, lift capacity, site footprint, load types, and scheduling. Our team evaluates your site conditions, lift plans, and timeline, then recommends a crane model and configuration that optimizes safety and productivity. We also account for access, permits, and transport to ensure a smooth installation.

  • What are the advantages of renting a crane?

    Renting provides flexibility, lower up-front costs, and access to the latest equipment without long-term ownership responsibilities. Rentals let you match crane size to each project, avoid maintenance and storage expenses, and scale quickly during peak periods. Tipton Crane’s rental service includes setup, certified operators if needed, and responsive support to keep your job on schedule.

  • When is buying a crane a better option than renting?

    Buying is often the best choice for contractors with steady, long-term lifting needs or for companies looking to build assets and control costs over many projects. Ownership offers predictable availability, potential tax and depreciation benefits, and the ability to customize equipment.

  • What are the long-term benefits of owning a crane?

    Long-term benefits include asset equity, consistent availability for in-house projects, predictable operating costs, and the option to tailor equipment to recurring workflows. Ownership can improve bidding competitiveness by eliminating rental premiums and can produce cost savings over multiple project cycles when utilization is high.

  • Does Tipton Crane offer operator and maintenance services with rentals or purchases?

    Yes. We provide NCCO-certified operators and comprehensive maintenance services to ensure safe and efficient operation of self erecting cranes in GA and TN. For rentals, we can supply trained operators and handle assembly/disassembly. For purchased equipment, we offer service plans, inspections, and access to genuine parts to keep your cranes performing reliably.

Our Manitowoc certification and experience as a Potain dealer mean you receive well-maintained equipment, professional setup, and guidance that helps your project meet regulatory and safety requirements.

  • What logistical support does Tipton Crane provide for installations?
