Operated & Bare Crane Rental in Albany

With operated rental, the crane arrives with a BURT operator and crew who set up, make the lift, and break down, so your own crew stays free for their own work. If you have your own qualified operator, ask us about bare rental on select machines.
To pick the right crane, have these ready when you call: what you're lifting and roughly how much it weighs, the pick radius and height you need, and the site address with notes on access and ground conditions. We confirm the exact machine against your lift before the job is booked.

15–500 Ton Fleet: Small, Medium & Large Cranes

Our in-house fleet runs from 15 to 500 tons, with a deep lineup of Liebherr all-terrain cranes. Small ton cranes run 15–90 ton, medium ton cranes 90–175 ton, and large ton cranes 175–500 ton. Each fleet page lists the machines, with a PDF spec sheet for each.

Our family has been in the crane and rigging industry for five generations, and BURT Crane & Rigging is now run by its second-generation owner. BURT has been a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) since 2014.

FAQ

Do you rent cranes with an operator, or bare?
Both. Most of our cranes go out with a BURT operator and crew, and select machines are available for bare rental. Call us to talk through which fits your job.

What tonnage do you offer?
Our in-house fleet spans 15 to 500 tons: small (15–90 ton), medium (90–175 ton), and large (175–500 ton). We confirm the exact machine against your lift.

Do your all-terrain cranes drive to the jobsite?
Usually, yes. Our ATs drive to the site and rarely need a trailer, depending on the machine, permits, and roads.

Where are you based?
Yards at 5 Veteran's Memorial Drive, Green Island, NY 12183 and 1381 River Road, Selkirk, NY 12158. Call (518) 271-6858.

Can you handle rigging and hauling on the same job?
Yes. Rigging and hauling come from the same company, so one call can cover the crane, the riggers, and the trucks.

Do you publish crane rental rates?
No. Pricing depends on crane size, configuration, crew, travel, and how long you need it. Send us the load, radius, site, and dates for a job-specific quote.
