About Morgantown-area lifts

Morgantown is in Monongalia County, WV, on the Monongahela River near I-79 and I-68. We take requests from Morgantown, Star City, Westover, Cheat Lake and nearby Monongalia County communities, plus jobs just across the line in southern Fayette County, PA.

Hilly streets and tight urban lots are common, so be specific about where a truck can park and how far the load must travel. Mention if the job is on or near a campus, hospital or other property that has its own access rules.

Options providers may offer

Operated crane rental (crane plus operator), boom truck service for lighter loads and tight sites, and bare rental for contractors with their own certified operators.

Before you hire any crane provider

• Ask for a certificate of insurance naming the right parties, and check that it is current.
• Ask about operator certification. OSHA's construction crane rules (29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC) require most crane operators to be certified; ask which certification the operator holds.
• Ask who prepares the lift plan and who is responsible for rigging and signaling.
• Point out overhead power lines and soft or sloped ground early. Power-line clearance and outrigger footing change which machine can do the job.
• Get the quote in writing, including minimum hours, travel/mobilization and any permits.

These are general questions, not a safety plan. Your provider is responsible for the lift.

West Virginia has its own contractor licensing rules. Ask providers whether a West Virginia contractor license applies to your job and check it before hiring.
