Bridge & Highway Lifts
Bridge & Highway Crane Rental. On Schedule, Safety First.
Patriot Lifting walks the bridge or highway site, coordinates lane closures with the GC and DOT, verifies MUTCD-compliant setups, and times the lift to the closure window.
All-terrain cranes (80 to 275 tons) for bridge girders and longer reaches.
Mobile cranes for daily highway maintenance lifts.
Boom trucks for sign installs and roadway equipment placement.
DOT and Bridge Contractors Across Metro Atlanta Work With Us
We work with bridge contractors and DOT crews on girder sets, deck repairs, structural placements, and highway sign and barrier installations across Georgia.
Five service lines run in-house from the Jenkinsburg yard: operated crane rental, rigging, heavy hauling, specialty lifts, and secured storage. One dispatch line for all five, so the schedule and the equipment stay aligned across the job.
Standard dispatch covers metro Atlanta, the Henry / Spalding / Newton / Rockdale county belt around our Jenkinsburg yard, down I-75 to Macon, and east into the Athens market. Multi-state hauls extend coverage into Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina when the project calls for it.
Cranes from 15 to 275 tons across all-terrain, mobile, rough-terrain, boom truck, and carry deck categories. Every crane operated by our crew.
How a Bridge Lift Works
Every bridge pick starts with the site walk and the lane closure plan. From there the lift sequences with the GC and the closure window.
Site Walk
We confirm crane positioning, ground bearing on roadway shoulders, overhead clearances, and the closure footprint.
Pick Plan
Load weights confirmed, rigging selected, MUTCD-compliant traffic control plan agreed with the GC.
Mobilization
The crane sized to the lift travels road-legal from Jenkinsburg. Outrigger pads sized to the ground.
The Set
The crew runs a pre-lift brief, makes the pick within the closure window, and clears the site for traffic to return.
Schedule a Bridge Lift
Send the load weight, bridge or highway location, and target closure date. We will quote the crane and lock in the schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions From Bridge Contractors
Common questions on Patriot Lifting crane work. Get in touch if you do not see your answer here.
Depends on girder weight and reach. Most highway girder picks run with an 80 to 275-ton all-terrain crane. Span length, lift radius, and ground bearing all factor into the recommendation.
Yes. We plan the pick to fit the closure schedule, mobilize so the crane is set before the window opens, and clear out before traffic returns.
We coordinate with the GC and DOT for MUTCD-compliant setups. The contractor or DOT typically supplies the traffic control plan; we plan our crane position around it.
Yes. We handle Georgia DOT permits for crane mobilization and any oversize loads we are hauling. Lead times vary by route and load size.
Four Services Out Of One Yard
Most jobs come down to four service lines. We handle each in-house and dispatch from one location, which keeps the schedule, the crew, and the equipment aligned across the lift.
Operated Crane Rentals
for Every Lift
The operator runs the crane and our crew sets the picks. Capacity, reach, and ground requirements drive the recommendation across all-terrain, mobile, rough-terrain, boom truck, and carry deck options.
Rigging Plans Built
Around the Load
Slings, spreaders, and below-the-hook gear matched to the load. For multi-point picks and blind lifts, we plan the rigging in coordination with the engineer of record so the setup arrives ready to run.
Secured Storage Services
For Projects, Equipment, and Materials
Patriot's Jenkinsburg yard offers secured storage for upcoming projects, customer equipment, and job-related materials. Containers, oversized loads, project staging, and equipment storage between jobs. Stored under cover or fenced based on what the load demands.
Heavy Haul for Loads
With a Clear Plan
Trailer matched to the load, route planned, permits handled. From oversized industrial equipment to overweight commercial freight, we move what does not fit on a standard truck across Georgia.
Specialty Lifts Services
Swim spas placed over a roofline. Modular sections set in a backyard. Cell tower top sections. Container drops to grade. Specialty work is a regular service line at Patriot, not an exception.
