Had to choose between a 150-ton and a 200-ton for a tight lift in Pittsburgh
The site had a 30-foot clearance and I went with the 150-ton because I thought it was more nimble. It got the job done, but I had to use every inch of the boom and it felt close. Anyone else faced a tight spot where you picked the smaller crane and it worked out okay?

Buddy of mine had a similar call on a hospital job in Philly. He squeezed a 90-ton into a spot meant for a 120 because the access was so tight. It worked, but he said the cribbing was stacked so high it looked like a Jenga tower.

Sometimes the smaller crane forces you to plan the lift better. You can't just muscle it, you have to think about every move. That focus can actually make the job safer.
