Crane and operator rentals across Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba, backed by one of Western Canada’s most versatile fleets and a team available 24 hours a day.
Our Core Service
Prairie Crane has been lifting for Western Canada since 2004. Every job runs with a certified operator, a documented lift plan, and equipment maintained in-house, whether it is a single pick in a residential backyard or a multi-crane tandem hoist inside a potash mine.
The fleet ranges from compact spyder cranes designed to fit through standard doorways to a 275-ton crawler crane, ensuring the right equipment is matched to each job site—not simply the nearest available machine with the required capacity. Supporting services and equipment include professional rigging crews, man baskets, spreader bars, and engineered lift drawings. When transportation is required, Alpine Transport & Rigging can handle the move from start to finish.
Seven categories, 30+ units. Every unit and its capacity is listed on the equipment page.
Compact tracked cranes that pass through standard doorways for indoor and confined-space picks.
10.5- to 25-ton pick-and-carry cranes for plant floors, tight yards, and equipment moves.
28-, 40-, and 50-ton truck-mounted cranes that drive to site and set up fast.
15- to 160-ton cranes built for unprepared ground, the largest group in the fleet.
90- to 275-ton highway-speed cranes for reach and capacity on road-accessible sites.
A 275-ton Liebherr LR1250 for sustained heavy lifting on prepared pads.
A 25-ton Shuttlelift for industrial buildings and repeat in-plant lifting.
Makes, models, and tonnages for the whole fleet, filterable by category.

Shutdowns, turnarounds, equipment exchanges, and emergency lifts at plants and elevators.
Precast, structural steel, glass, tower crane erections, and modular placement.
Shaft sinking support, camp assembly, and subsurface work for potash and uranium.
Hot tubs, trusses, trees, garden suites, and backyard picks over houses.
That depends on the weight of the load, how far the crane can set up from it, and what is overhead. Sending photos, a site address, and the load weight is usually enough for Prairie Crane to recommend a unit; a supervisor can attend the site for anything complex.
Yes. Prairie Crane rents cranes with certified operators, and riggers can be supplied with them. Operated rentals are the standard arrangement.
