Crane Rental Serving the Portland Maine Area
Crane Rental at Reasonable Rates
If you’re a general contractor located in the Portland or Falmouth, ME area looking for crane rental at reasonable rates, American Aerial Services makes the process easy. We are AISC certified steel erectors who provide not only a wide range of machinery to take on jobs of all sizes, but also a team of extensively trained and NCCCO-certified crane operators. We know that the secret to a successful job has as much to do with the people as it does with equipment and raw materials, and we’re fully invested in your success.
How the Crane Rental Process Works
The rental process starts when you contact American Aerial Services. We will visit your job site to evaluate your needs, the equipment needed, and any potential problems or hazards we identify. Among the information we’ll be gathering:
- Scope of work
- Client’s existing equipment, to eliminate redundancies
- Site evaluation, including checks for power lines and underground utilities
- Type of crane needed
- Site footprint — we’ll ensure the crane can safely operate among your other machinery, tools, and personnel
- Identify rigging needed, especially in the event that additional equipment must be ordered
- Educate customer’s team as to their roles and responsibilities while we’re on site.
Because of the number of variables in play, including the type and duration of the job, the equipment and operators needed, and other factors, it’s impossible for us to simply provide a price list; each project is different, and so, therefore, are the quotes provided for each.
Cranes Available
One reason we are able to tackle so many different steel erecting projects is the variety of equipment in our arsenal. Our available crane rentals include:
- Grove TMS 900E 90 Ton Crane
- Link-Belt HC-238H II 150 Ton Crane
- Terex T780 80 Ton Crane
- HTC 8660 Telescopic Hydraulic Truck Crane
- HTT 8690 Telescopic Boom Truck Crane
- HTC 8675 LB Hydraulic Truck Crane
Crane Rental Pricing

What areas do you serve? The company is based in Falmouth, Maine, and primarily serves the greater Portland and Falmouth area. Crane rentals also extend throughout the Northeast, including Bangor, ME; Andover and Newburyport, MA; and Concord, Manchester, and Portsmouth, NH.
How much does it cost to rent a crane? Pricing is project-specific rather than a flat rate, since factors like crane size, site conditions, and job duration vary widely. American Aerial Services purchases well-maintained, low-hour used equipment to keep rates competitive, then provides a custom quote after evaluating your site and scope of work.
How do I get a quote? Contact American Aerial Services to schedule a site evaluation. The team will review the scope of work, existing site conditions (including power lines and utilities), the site's footprint, rigging requirements, and the right crane for the job before providing a tailored quote.
Are your crane operators certified? Yes. Operators are NCCCO-certified and OSHA-certified, and the company is an AISC Certified Steel Erector. All operators are drug-tested, and equipment undergoes daily inspections along with regular maintenance and repairs.
What kind of projects do you support with crane rentals? Crane rentals are commonly used for steel erection projects and by general contractors throughout the Portland and Falmouth area, though the fleet's range of lift capacities supports a variety of commercial and industrial job types.
Do you rent cranes with an operator? American Aerial Services provides trained, certified operators as part of its crane services — the team handles site evaluation, rigging, and safe operation rather than offering bare equipment for self-operation.
