Frequently asked questions
Are you a crane company?
No. Rochester Crane Quote Desk is a free quote-request service run by Flow AI Partners. We do not own or operate cranes. We pass your request to a local crane provider serving Rochester, Monroe County & the Finger Lakes, and that provider quotes you and does the work directly.
Does it cost anything to request a quote?
No. Requesting a quote is free and you are under no obligation to hire anyone. Local providers may pay us a fee for introductions; that never changes the price you are quoted.
How much does it cost to rent a crane?
It depends on the crane size, how long you need it, travel distance to the site, rigging, and whether permits or a lift plan are needed. Most cranes are rented with an operator and many providers have a minimum charge. The only reliable number is a written quote from the provider, which is why the form asks for weight, reach, location and date.
What size crane do I need?
That depends on the heaviest load, how far it has to travel from where the crane can park (the radius), and how high it has to go. If you are not sure, pick 'Not sure' and describe the load. The provider will size the crane with you.
Do I get an operator with the crane?
Most crane rentals in the area are operated (crane plus a certified operator). Bare rental (crane only) is less common and is up to each provider. Tell us which you need on the form.
How quickly will someone contact me?
We aim to pass on requests the same business day. Response times and availability are set by the provider, so for urgent lifts, say so in the form.
What happens to my information?
We share your request only with the local crane provider (or providers) we connect you with for this job. We do not sell your details to lists. See the privacy page.
