Crane Rental in Irving, TX

Each crane service below starts from an Irving fact, whether a street rule, a site, the ground or the airport, and links the service page with the load charts, OSHA sections and published prices. Three Irving limits can sit on top of a pick, a pick meaning a single hoist of a single load from rigging to release: the City's weekday window for work in a street, the airspace around DFW, and the truck routes that keep heavy vehicles on named roads.

Truck Cranes on Irving's Designated Truck Routes

A truck crane reaches an Irving job on its own carrier, and the City's code decides which streets it may take. Section 21-191.1 keeps a commercial motor vehicle, which section 21-191 defines as one over 26,000 pounds, on designated truck routes, among them Belt Line Road, Second Street, Spur 482 and State Highways 114, 161 and 183, and it counts "a closed street due to an accident, roadwork, or a city or state authorized detour" as sufficient cause to leave them. At the site, a crane that needs a lane meets Irving's rule that "An approved traffic control plan shall be required any time work will require traffic lane closures." Our mobile crane rental page covers truck crane sizes, load charts and operated or bare terms.

All-Terrain Cranes for Irving Interchanges and Airport Work

An all-terrain (AT) crane drives the highway on many axles and then lifts on a long telescoping boom, and it is the class booked when a load or a reach goes past what a truck crane's load chart, its maker's table of rated loads by boom length and radius, allows. TxDOT's Texas Clear Lanes list shows its Irving Interchanges project at Loop 12, SH 114, Spur 482 and SH 183 as completed on a 2020-2024 timeline; highway work of that size is where an AT is weighed against a crawler. Height is where Irving differs, because the City's airport hazard zoning includes a horizontal surface 150 feet above the established airport elevation, so we check a tall boom against it and the FAA criteria. Carrier axles, counterweight hauling and TxDMV escorts are on the all-terrain crane rental page.

Rough-Terrain Cranes Along Irving's Trinity Greenbelt

A rough-terrain (RT) crane is trucked to the job and then drives across unpaved ground on its own oversized tires, which in Irving means the bottomland along the Trinity's forks. The Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau describes the Campion Trail as a 22-mile greenbelt along the Elm Fork and West Fork, from the Valley Ranch community at Sam Houston Trail Park south to Las Colinas, and work on ground like that, away from paved streets, is where an RT's off-road build counts. The Handbook of Texas calls Dallas County "primarily flat, heavy Blackland Prairie," and on that clay OSHA section 1926.1402 still demands ground "firm, drained, and graded" before a crane is put together or used. The RT crane rental page sets out the ground duties and the makers' figures.

Crawler Cranes for Irving's Conditional-Use Data Center Sites

A crawler crane, tracked and assembled on site when it carries a lattice boom, suits Irving's data center campuses, where the same heavy lift recurs for months on one site, and the City's own process decides when such a campus may start. The City of Irving's data center page says data centers are considered only in certain industrial areas and need a Conditional Use Permit under standards adopted in February 2025; "Permitting and construction begins only after CUP approval." Operators publish the scale: QTS's Irving 1 page, modified in September 2026, lists a 56-acre campus of 6 facilities with 165 MW+ of critical capacity, and Edged lists a two-facility, 15-acre Irving campus at 48 MW. How a crawler is trucked in, put together and kept within the soil's limits, its ground bearing pressure being the force per area under the tracks, is on the crawler crane rental page.

Boom Trucks for Irving School Rebuilds and Neighborhood Lifts

A boom truck, a truck-mounted telescopic crane that carries its load on the same truck, handles Irving's short, repeat lifts: trusses, rooftop units, signs and steel. Irving ISD's 2023 bond, from the May 6, 2023 election, covers replacing Barton and Farine elementary schools and Crockett Middle School; Crockett and Farine held ribbon cuttings on July 2, 2026. Where the truck parks sets the hours. In or next to a residential district, the City's noise rule (section 22-3(a)(9)) bars construction outside 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends; in a street, right-of-way work runs only 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The boom truck rental page sets out when a truck crane or a telehandler suits the lift instead.

Spider and Mini Cranes for Irving's Plazas and Canal Walks

Spider and mini cranes are compact tracked cranes, narrow enough for walkways, which fits the finished spaces of Las Colinas. The Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau says the Mandalay Canal's cobblestone walkway stretches 3 miles around Lake Carolyn and the canals, and that Williams Square Plaza, centered on the nine bronze Mustangs of Las Colinas installed in 1984, reopened in May 2022 after a year of construction. On paving, decks and plazas, the surface's capacity and the width of the way in decide the crane before the load does. Machine widths, weights and lift ratings from the makers, and the carry deck alternative, are on the spider and mini crane rental page.

Rooftop Unit Swaps in Irving's Heat and Hail

A rooftop unit (RTU) swap in Irving is a crane pick of a packaged heating and cooling cabinet onto its curb, the frame on the roof deck that receives the unit, and the weather at DFW sets the window. NWS Fort Worth/Dallas's August 2026 summary for DFW, the station that keeps the Dallas/Fort Worth climate record, shows the temperature reaching 100 degrees F on 27 days, so rooftop picks are timed for the cooler hours. Hail is in the record too: on April 3, 2012, NWS meteorologists near DFW Airport saw quarter-size hail, but "just 100 yards to the east, baseball hail was falling." Irving adopted the 2024 International Building Code by an ordinance in March 2026; the unit itself is the HVAC contractor's, while we supply the crane, operator and rigging. Unit weights by size are on the HVAC crane service page.

Rigging and Lift Plans for Irving Picks in DFW Wind

An Irving lift plan records the load and its rigging, the crane's position and radius, the signals and the weather limits, and DFW's wind record is the reason for the last item. NOAA's data for the DFW station show a 5-second gust of 89 mph in August 2025, the largest annual peak NCEI returns for the station for 2010 to 2025, and NWS Fort Worth/Dallas averages 46.5 thunderstorm days a year at DFW, with May the busiest month. OSHA's crane rule has the competent person, who under OSHA's definition "has authorization to take prompt corrective measures," adjust operations for the effect of wind (section 1926.1417), and a personnel lift needs a qualified person's decision once wind at the platform passes 20 mph (section 1926.1431). The rigging and lift planning page explains the rigger's and the signal person's roles.

Heavy Haul Into Irving: Loop 12, SH 161 and Truck Routes

A heavy haul into Irving follows TxDMV's Dallas District restrictions and the City's truck routes. Restriction 71190 allows "No permits across LP12" on Irving Boulevard, and restrictions 68771 and 68814 put height and width limits on set movements along West Loop 12 between SH 183 and SH 114, while the City names Loop 12 (Walton Walker Boulevard) its hazardous materials truck route. State Highway 161, the western extension of the President George Bush Turnpike, is described by the Federal Highway Administration as an "approximately 11.5-mile link between SH 183, I-30, and I-20" through Irving and Grand Prairie, and I-30 and I-20 are the interstates that cross Arlington. Our heavy haul page explains TxDMV permits and escorts, and our Grand Prairie crane rental page covers the Grand Prairie end of SH 161.

Work in an Irving street follows Irving's Right-of-Way Management chapter, Chapter 34A of the City code (current through September 24, 2026). No work in the right-of-way may begin without a construction permit; the application is due at least ten working days before work starts, and work must begin within 180 calendar days of issuance. The City must be told "twenty-four (24) hours in advance that construction is ready to proceed," and information signs go up at the location 48 hours before work. "The working hours in the rights-of-way are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday"; lane closures on major thoroughfares "will be limited after 8:30 a.m. and before 4:00 p.m.," may not run past four hours unless the permit shows another period, and need an approved traffic control plan. The permit fees (section 34A-8) were not on the pages we read, so we confirm them for the quote; the crane permit guide sets these rules beside Arlington's.

Irving adds an airport rule of its own to the FAA's. Irving's airport hazard zoning, adopted by Ordinance 2356 in 1972, says no structure, tree or installation may rise above the imaginary surfaces on its zoning map, one of them a horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation (section 3-64(b)). Before a new structure that could be an airport hazard is built or raised, the owner or agent must secure a permit, with applications made to the City (section 3-68), and section 3-69 keeps the separate duty to file notice with the FAA. 14 CFR 77.9, the FAA's notice rule, requires notice for work more than 200 feet above ground or above a 100-to-1 slope within 20,000 feet of a runway like DFW's, and section 77.7 puts it on Form 7460-1 at least 45 days ahead. We check both for a tall Irving lift and tell you what to file.

• Overhead lines: OSHA section 1926.1408 lets an employer meet the rule by making sure nothing, load included, "gets closer than 20 feet" to the line.
• Power for data centers: the City's data center page says the electrical service connection is "controlled by Oncor."
• TxDMV: its Time Permit Curfews list has no entry for Irving or Dallas County, and its one Tarrant County entry exempts mobile cranes.
• Texas 811: an excavator must renotify "if the commencement is delayed beyond fourteen days of the original notice," Texas811's FAQ says.
• Las Colinas: for a tall pick at the Urban Center's buildings, the convention center or the Mandalay Canal, we run both checks above, Irving's hazard zoning map and the FAA's 77.9 criteria.
• After-hours work near homes: Irving's building official may permit construction outside the noise hours for up to three days, renewable once for three days or less (section 22-3(a)(9)).
