55
TON
55-Ton Class
The right size for HVAC units, hot tubs and spas, beams, and tight residential or commercial sites where a bigger crane cannot set up.
Operated crane lifts for contractors, businesses, and homeowners, with the operator and rigging included in every quote.
Westmore crane service means an operated lift: a crane from 55 to 350 tons, an NCCCO certified operator, and the rigging gear, bundled into every job. The crew handles hoisting and rigging, HVAC and rooftop unit lifts for contractors, hot tub and spa lifts for homeowners, and storage and transport for materials and equipment, with permits handled in both Oregon and Washington.
Fleet depth is the practical difference. A 55-ton class truck crane handles tight residential and commercial sites, the 100-ton Link-Belt HTC-86100 carries steel erection and heavy equipment sets, and the 350-ton Grove all-terrain takes the long-reach and heavy picks. Westmore moves all three on its own Freightliner trucks and trailers, so a lift is never waiting on a third-party hauler.
Seven services make up the crane division, from the fleet itself to the permit paperwork that gets a lift on-site legally.
Three cranes, 55 to 350 tons, plus the trucks and trailers that move them. See the specs and match a class to the lift.
NCCCO certified operators and the rigging gear for beams, panels, and equipment that need a controlled pick.
Rooftop unit swaps and new equipment sets for commercial and industrial contractors, scheduled around site access.
Hot tubs, swim spas, and saunas lifted over a fence or a house and set exactly where homeowners want them.
Materials and equipment moved and stored on Westmore's own trucks and trailers, no third-party towing.
Load weight, lift height, and setup distance decide the crane class. Send those numbers and the crew plans the pick.
Oversize transport, street use, and traffic control paperwork handled in both Oregon and Washington.
One call to Westmore books the crane, the NCCCO certified operator who runs it, the rigging gear for the pick, and the permit work the lift needs, so there is no second vendor to line up and no gap between the people who plan the job and the people who run it.
Oregon and Washington can both require paperwork before a crane sets up on a commercial site or a public street: oversize transport permits, street use or right-of-way permits, and a traffic control plan. Westmore files the applications that apply to the job. Dave Glenn's review of a short-notice pick in downtown Portland describes the crew getting "the permit, traffic, and planning submittals in no time."
Three numbers decide the crane class: how much the load weighs, how high it has to go, and how far back the crane has to sit from it. A backyard hot tub and a rooftop HVAC unit can call for two different machines even when the tonnage looks close on paper.
Send those numbers, or a few photos of the site, and the crew sizes the lift before quoting the job. A narrow driveway or limited roof access changes the setup distance, and that changes which crane shows up.
Battle Ground is home base, and the crane corridor runs from Everett and Seattle down through Tacoma, Portland, and Salem, and out to the Oregon coast, with the inner suburbs around Portland in between. Most calls land somewhere in that stretch, on both sides of the Columbia River.
The service area does not stop at the routine run. Thor Williamson's review describes Westmore driving a crane across the state on short notice for a generator lift, so the fleet travels farther when a job calls for it.
Fleet specs for the three tonnage classes that cover residential lifts through heavy commercial picks.
The right size for HVAC units, hot tubs and spas, beams, and tight residential or commercial sites where a bigger crane cannot set up.
The workhorse for steel erection, precast and tilt panels, transformers, vaults, and rooftop equipment on commercial jobs.
Heavy and long-reach picks: generators, large mechanical equipment, and lifts that have to clear a building from the street.

"Great people to work with. We have worked with both sides, the construction team and the crane services and have been absolutely amazed with the professionalism and their communication skills. We get to hire their crane fairly often for picking larger concrete vaults and they are always quick to respond with timing and pricing for each project. We wouldn't want to use anyone else!"

"Fast to work with me when I had a short notice crane pick request for downtown Portland. Yikes. No problem for these guys. They nailed the permit, traffic, and planning submittals in no time... They were safe, they worked fast... From the big boy 350 Ton to little boy crane needs - they are our team now."

"In our HVAC company, we use Westmore whenever we need a crane on a job. They are the first ones we call and they are always happy to fit us in the schedule. They show up on time, with a good attitude, and safe work practices every time. Great company to work with!"

"We have did multiple projects across the greater Clark County WA area with Warren and his team, from picking our transformer or vaults or any craning needs we have. Fast, efficient, but at the same time very safe with their walk arounds and set up procedures, making sure everything is in the right order. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reputable crane services."

"Think Seal Team 6 of Crane Work! Westmore was able to scramble, rearrange their schedule and drive a Crane 15 hours across the state to get us out of a jam on Generator set for Walmart, highly recommend these Professionals"

A crane quote is built from the crane class the job calls for, the reach and height involved, the access at the site, and any street use or traffic control paperwork the setup brings with it. The operator and the rigging come as part of the machine, not as separate bookings. A load sitting close to where the crane can park asks less of it than one that has to be picked from across a lot.
Included. Westmore does not send a crane out without an operator, so every quote covers the machine, the NCCCO certified operator who runs it, and the rigging gear for the pick. That bundle holds for a backyard spa set and a heavy commercial pick alike, and it is the reason one call books the whole lift instead of three separate arrangements.
The weight of the piece being lifted, the height it has to reach, the distance from the crane's parking spot to where it lands, the site address, and the date. Photos of the driveway, the street, or the jobsite carry more than a description does, because they show the path the boom will travel and the ground the outriggers will land on. Those details set the crane class.
Yes, both cities, along with Clark and Cowlitz counties in Washington and Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Wilsonville, and the Salem and Keizer area in Oregon. The represented territory stretches from Tacoma in the north down through Salem and Keizer, and out toward the Oregon coast. Westmore holds an active contractor license in Washington and in Oregon, so a job on either side of the line stays with one company.
As soon as the date for the work is set. Two things drive the lead time: the crane class the pick requires, which follows the weight and the reach, and whether the setup takes public right of way. Street use review belongs to the agency that owns the road, not to the crane company. A pick contained on private ground has no agency review in front of it.
Both. Homeowners call for hot tub, swim spa, and sauna sets that have to clear a fence or a roofline, and contractors call for rooftop HVAC units, structural steel, transformers, vaults, and machinery. The same fleet and the same NCCCO certified operators run either job. What changes is the machine that shows up and the paperwork behind it, not the crew.
Rain rarely stops a lift, but wind can. Every crane carries wind speed limits tied to the weight of the load and how much surface it turns to the air, and a light, wide load like a spa shell catches far more wind than a steel beam does. The limit sits on the load chart, and the call belongs to the operator on site.
Send the load weight, the lift height, and the site address and Westmore sizes the crane before quoting the job. Call for the fastest answer.
