Crane lifts for Hillsboro rooftop sets, structural picks, and backyard spas, plus steel buildings raised by an Oregon licensed contractor.
Crane service in Hillsboro covers four kinds of work: structural steel and equipment picks at the industrial buildings north of town, rooftop mechanical sets for the retail and office property along Cornell Road and Baseline Road, spa or hot tub sets into fenced residential yards, and the steel building work Westmore performs as the contractor. Every pick is an operated lift: the operator on the machine holds NCCCO certification, and the rigging is chosen for the load before the truck leaves, so a property manager or a mechanical contractor is hiring a finished lift instead of assembling one from parts. Capacity starts at 55 tons and tops out at 350.
Before a date gets set, two things need answering. If the setup will occupy a traffic lane, a sidewalk, or a utility connection, the City of Hillsboro's Development and Permitting Team is the desk that issues the Right-of-Way Permit; Westmore files it rather than leaving it with the customer. If the site sits under one of Hillsboro Airport's approach paths, boom height gets checked against FAA notification requirements before the crane is scheduled. Send the weight of what is being lifted, how high and how far it must move, plus the site address, and what comes back has a crane size attached to it.
The four lifts that fill most Hillsboro calls, from an industrial pick north of town to a spa headed over a fence.
Columns, beams, and heavy equipment set on the industrial sites north of town, erection labor and lift capacity bought under a single contract.
Rooftop units swapped or set on retail and office buildings along Cornell Road and Baseline Road, planned around the lot the boom works from.
Vaults, transformers, tanks, and structural members rigged and landed in one shot where there is no room to reposition.
A spa, hot tub, or sauna lifted clear of the roofline and lowered onto its pad, leaving fence panels and plantings undisturbed.
A lift near the airport's approach paths gets its boom height checked against FAA notification while the job is still being scoped. That is not something to discover with a machine already on outriggers. Give the estimator the street address up front and the airspace question is settled before a date is offered.
Rooftop work along the Cornell Road and Baseline Road corridor is decided by the parking lot, not the roof. A retail or office property has to give up enough stalls for outriggers, a swing path clear of light poles and storefronts, and a window when the lot is quiet. Photos of the lot and the roof, plus the unit weight and where it lands, are what turn that into a plan.
North of town the industrial buildings usually solve that problem on their own, with yard room to stage the truck, the crane, and the steel in the same place. Those calls come from mechanical contractors and property owners who want the pick and the setup handled in one visit, so it helps to say up front how many pieces are going up and whether the roof is occupied.
Westmore is an Oregon-licensed commercial general contractor, so a Hillsboro steel building, a warehouse addition, or an industrial shell is raised by the outfit that owns the machine raising it. The crane is a line item inside the erection contract, never a rental booked against another company's availability. Ask for the pick and the frame in one number.
Capacity is the other half of that argument. Three tonnage classes, 55 through 350, are owned outright, so a machine gets picked for the heaviest piece the erection drawings show rather than for whatever a broker can free up that week. Say how many pieces should go up per day, and the erection schedule comes back with a class already attached.

"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."

Yes, from the industrial blocks north of town to the retail corridor along Cornell Road. Oregon registration CCB 234945 covers both the commercial contracting and the crane work. What sets the date is which machine the pick actually needs, and whether the setup borrows street space, since that permit has to clear on the city calendar. Send the site address, the weight of the piece, and the radius.
Only when the crane leaves private property. The Hillsboro Development and Permitting Team handles the Right-of-Way Permit that covers work, a temporary closure, or a utility connection inside a public street, and a crane holding a lane or a sidewalk is doing exactly that. Westmore prepares and submits that application along with the rest of the crane paperwork.
The crane sets up in the parking lot or a loading area, puts its outriggers down on ground that can carry the load, and flies the unit from the delivery truck to the curb on the roof. Capacity drops off as the boom extends, so where the crane can stand is settled before the machine is chosen. The mechanical crew handles the curb and the hookup.
There is no flat rate, because the number moves with four things: the weight of the piece, the swing radius the boom needs, what the outriggers have to sit on, and the hours the crew spends on site. A site under one of the Hillsboro Airport approach paths adds an FAA height check to the plan. Weight and an address get a real quote back.
Yes, lifting a spa over a fence is routine crane work. The flight path decides the machine: fence height, tree limbs, the ridge the load has to clear, and where a truck can legally stop. A photo taken along that line settles the crane class faster than measurements do. Whichever machine is sent arrives operated, carrying the rigging that pick needs.
Yes. Erecting a package the owner bought from a manufacturer is standard steel work here. Westmore can run it as commercial general contractor or take the erection package under another builder, whichever way the project is set up. Scope can stop at the standing frame or carry through roof and wall sheeting to the exterior finishing that closes the shell in. Send the plan set and the site address.
An Orenco or Tanasbourne job draws the identical crew, the identical rigging gear, and the identical permit filing any downtown address gets.
Weight, reach, and a Hillsboro street address are enough to size a crane and put a number behind it. Picking up the phone is still the fastest way to get one.
