Crane Capacity: 15 to 275 Ton

Water & Wastewater Crane Service in Georgia

Patriot Lifting runs operated cranes on water and wastewater treatment plant builds across Georgia. We set forms, rebar cages, precast, tanks, and process equipment into tight, below-grade structures with the reach and capacity each placement needs. Operator and crew on every pick, dispatched from our Jenkinsburg yard.

Water & Wastewater

Built for Treatment Plant and Pump Station Lifts

Water and wastewater sites mix deep excavations, standing water, congested rebar, and long reaches over open tanks. Our operators plan each pick around the structure in front of them, from clarifier walls to digester tanks to buried wet wells, so the load lands clean the first time.

Reach and Capacity for Below-Grade Work

Treatment structures sit low and wide, which puts the load well out from the crane. We size the machine to the radius, set on engineered mats over soft or saturated ground, and keep the operator and a lift director on the pick from setup to final placement. Our fleet runs from 15 to 275 tons, so we match the crane to the site instead of forcing the site to the crane.

Services

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.

Areas We Serve

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.

Fleet Capacity

Cranes from 15 to 275 tons across all-terrain, mobile, rough-terrain, boom truck, and carry deck categories. Every crane operated by our crew.

Our Process

How a Water & Wastewater Lift Works

Every treatment plant and pump station pick runs through the same four steps, planned before the crane leaves Jenkinsburg.

Site and Ground Review

We walk the excavation, check ground bearing around the tank, and confirm crane position, radius, and clearances over open structures and existing process equipment.

Lift Plan and Rigging

Our team writes the lift plan, picks the crane and counterweight for the heaviest pick at the longest radius, and engineers the rigging for tanks, precast, or equipment.

Set and Placement

A CCO-certified operator and lift director run the pick, lowering forms, rebar cages, precast, or process equipment into the structure with spotters guiding the final set.

Demob and Closeout

We clear the rigging, confirm the placement with the site team, and demobilize so the next trade can keep the pour or install on schedule.

Water & Wastewater Crane Questions

Common questions on treatment plant and pump station lifts. If you do not see yours, reach out and we will walk through your site.

Do you work over open tanks and deep excavations?

Yes. Most treatment plant picks happen over open structures and below-grade pits. We set the crane back from the edge, size for the full radius, and use engineered mats so ground bearing holds near the excavation.

Can you set precast tanks, clarifiers, and basin sections?

Yes. We place precast panels, tank sections, clarifier mechanisms, and cast-in-place forms and rebar cages. We match the crane to the heaviest section at its set radius and rig each piece to the placement drawings.

What size cranes do you bring to water and wastewater sites?

Our fleet runs from 15 to 275 tons. We pick the machine by the load, the radius over the structure, and the ground around it, so you get enough capacity without crowding a tight plant site.

Do you handle pump station and generator sets?

Yes. We set pumps, blowers, generators, and process skids at pump stations and lift stations across Georgia, with the operator and crew planning the pick around existing piping and equipment.

Our Services

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.

Operator-Led

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.
