FAQ
Common Questions
Do you offer 24/7 emergency crane service?
Yes. Emergencies don't keep business hours, so our 2 cranes are available 24/7 for emergency crane rental. If a storm drops a tree on your house or you have a lift that can't wait, stay clear of the area and call us now. We offer same-day service whenever we can and will help you get the job handled safely.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. Every estimate is free, and so are consultations. Tell us what needs lifting, whether it's a tree, an HVAC unit, a hot tub, a shed or a boat, and we'll look at the job and give you a clear price before any work starts. Ask about our discounts, including our military discount, when you request your estimate.
What can your cranes lift?
We handle tree removal lifts, HVAC units, hot tubs, trusses and construction materials, sheds, storage containers, pools, boats and pumphouses. Our fleet includes a 26-ton and a 55-ton crane, so we can size the crane to the job. Not sure if your lift fits? Tell us what you need moved and we'll let you know during your free estimate.
How do you protect my yard and driveway?
We treat your property like our own. Before the crane rolls in, we put down mats to prevent driveway problems, and we operate with every possible precaution to eliminate the possibility of property damage. We plan each lift around your home, fences and landscaping so only the load moves.
Are you certified and insured?
Yes. Albemarle Crane Service is bonded and insured, and our team includes an NCCCO certified operator. NCCCO is the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators, which sets national safety standards for crane operators. Ask us for proof of insurance during your free estimate.
How does pricing work?
We offer competitive pricing and a clear price before any work starts. Jobs have a 3-hour minimum, and when you book 4 hours, you get the 5th hour at half price. We also offer discounts, including a military discount. Your free estimate gives you the full picture before you decide.
Can you help with tree removal?
Yes. For big or hazardous trees, especially ones leaning over a house, a crane lets the crew remove the tree in controlled sections and lift each piece away from your roof and landscaping. Tell us about the tree and we'll plan the right crane for it.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Kitty Hawk and serve the Outer Banks and nearby areas, from Corolla and Duck down to Hatteras, plus communities like Moyock, Currituck, Manteo and Plymouth. We cover many towns, but not always every road. Not sure if we reach your property? Call us now with your address and we'll let you know.
