Roofing & Building Supplies

With our growing civilization there has never been more need for roofing and building supplies. Every new project requires building supplies from lumber to build the walls, to roofing material to keep you dry.

Besides good workers, any new project would be difficult to complete without building materials.

They are trained with specialized lifting equipment including buckets and fork attachments making it easier to get your materials where they need to go. We have experience with new construction and existing buildings, providing lane closures and permits if needed.
Procedures we use making material deliver more efficient are:

Fork Attachment

A fork attachment is simply a set of forks that hang from the hook on a crane. By utilizing these attachments correctly and to their full potential you save time on the crane being on site. There is no need for the ground crew to fight with pallets on a tight loaded truck, when the forks can be inserted from the outside.

Dumping Bucket

A dumping bucket can help your crew to load or offload loose materials or garbage in a safe and efficient manner. Gone are the days of rigging up many small loads of material and equipment when you can load a bucket to turn many lifts into a few lifts, saving the crane time on site.

Radios

Every McIntyre crane and truck is dispatched with a set of radios to make each job more efficient. From getting the machine in position to lifting material in the blind, having constant private radio communication key to a successful job.

Riggers & Signalman

Having properly trained riggers and signal persons on site can not only save time, but can make the job much more safe and efficient. Ask us about our trained personnel and how we can help you get the most out of your time.

Steel Erection

Almost every construction project starts with steel erection. Most projects will have the steel transported to site and staged in a laydown. Then cranes, riggers and iron workers will start assembling the building, one lift at a time. Read more to see how cranes are involved with steel erection.
