Crane Transport Services, Storage, and Cartage

Material and equipment hauled and stored on Westmore's own trucks, planned on the same call as your lift.

The Storage & Transport Service

Does Westmore Offer Storage and Transportation?

Yes, Westmore offers storage and transportation for materials and equipment tied to a crane lift or a construction build. The work runs on the company's own trucks and trailers rather than a rented storage unit or a third-party hauler. Both services operate out of Westmore's yard in Battle Ground, WA, the same base the crane fleet works from, on the same trucks and trailers that move the company's 55 to 350 ton cranes.

The two services pair directly with a lift: a job can call for staging equipment ahead of the date, hauling material to the site, and setting both down as one coordinated plan instead of three separate vendors showing up on three different schedules. Westmore treats the truck and the crane as one job because the same company runs both.

How Transport and Storage Work

Transport Runs on Westmore's Own Freightliner Trucks

Westmore moves materials and equipment on its own Freightliner trucks and specialized trailers, the same fleet that hauls the company's cranes from job to job. Nothing gets handed off to a third-party towing company. If Westmore is quoting the move, Westmore's own equipment is doing it.

That matters most on a tight schedule. A rented hauler adds a second phone call and a second set of dates to coordinate. Westmore's trucks run on the same calendar as the crane and the crew, so a load and a lift can land on the same day without waiting on an outside vendor.

Storage Holds the Gap Between Phases

A build or a lift rarely finishes everything in one visit. Material can arrive before a crew is ready for it, or equipment can come off a site between one phase and the next, and Westmore holds it rather than leaving it parked on an active job site or sending it back out on a second truck.

Storage stays tied to the job it came from: material and equipment already part of a Westmore lift or build, held until the schedule calls for the next move.

Transport Permits Ride Along With the Lift's Own Paperwork

A crane lift can already need a street use or right-of-way permit and a traffic control plan before the crane sets up. When the same job also needs an oversize transport permit to move the crane or the equipment there, Westmore handles both sets of paperwork together instead of routing the transport permit through a separate application on its own timeline.

That coordination is what keeps a job moving: the truck rolling in on the same permit approvals that clear the crane to set up, rather than one piece of the job waiting on the other.

The Process

How a Storage or Transport Job Runs

1

Send the Details

Tell Westmore what needs to move or sit somewhere: what it is, roughly how big or heavy, where it is coming from, and where it needs to end up. A lift date, if there is one, comes along with it.

2

Westmore Sizes the Move

The load decides which truck and trailer make the trip, matched to the weight and the dimensions before a pickup date goes on the calendar.

3

Staging or Storage

If the schedule has a gap, the load sits at Westmore's yard until it is needed. If it does not, the truck goes straight from pickup to the site.

4

On-Site When It's Needed

Delivery lands on the same day the crew or the crane needs the load, so nothing sits waiting on a truck that has not shown up yet.

Who Calls for Storage and Transport

Commercial General Contractors

Material or equipment held between phases of a build, so nothing sits exposed on an active site waiting for the next step, and nothing needs a second delivery truck to arrive.

Equipment Owners

Machinery or gear moved from one site to the next, or held until the next job calls for it, without lining up a separate transport company.

Crane Customers

A load delivered to the jobsite on the same schedule as the lift, so the crane and the cargo arrive together instead of on two different days.

"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!"

Questions We Get Every Week

What People Ask About Storage and Transport

Steel, building material, machinery, and equipment: anything that needs somewhere to sit between delivery and use, or has to move from one site to the next. The trucks are the company's own Freightliner tractors and specialized trailers, the same ones that move the cranes, so no outside hauler is involved in getting a load where it has to be.

Yes. Transport and storage stand as their own service rather than only as an add-on to a lift, and the company hauls material and equipment on its own tractors and trailers in Washington and Oregon. Send the load being moved, the route it has to travel, and the dates you need it there. Height, width, and weight decide whether the trip also needs a state permit.

Not when the crane company owns trucks. Westmore runs Freightliner tractors and specialized trailers alongside the cranes, so a transformer, a piece of machinery, or a building package can be moved and set by the same company on the same date. Bringing in a separate hauler adds a second dispatcher to the job, and arrival times are usually where that shows up.

Westmore does, in both Oregon and Washington. A load past standard road limits needs an over-dimension permit from the state it travels through, and that permit sets the route, the hours, and any escort or signage the trip requires. The application goes in before the load leaves, so a loaded trailer is never sitting while paperwork catches up.

Yes. A pre-engineered building package or a load of structural steel can be received and held until the site is ready, which keeps delivery from being tied to the day the foundation cures or the crew mobilizes. From there the same trucks bring it out in the order the erection crew needs it, rather than dropping the whole package on a site with nowhere to put it.

Yes. When a job needs a piece of equipment or a load of material on site right as the crane sets up, that delivery is scheduled against the same lift plan, so the crane is not waiting on a truck and the truck is not waiting on the crane. The order the pieces arrive in can be set the same way.
