First: make the scene safe
If anyone is hurt or in danger, or there's a fire or gas leak, call 911 first. If power lines are down or touching a tree or structure, stay away and call your electric utility — no crane or tree crew can safely work near energized lines until the utility clears them.
Once everyone is safe, take photos and video of the damage from several angles before anything is moved. Your insurance company will usually want them. Then send your request here with the details below.
What counts as an urgent crane job
The most common urgent requests around Fayetteville follow storms: trees or large limbs on homes, garages and vehicles after hurricanes, tropical storms, severe thunderstorms or ice. Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018) both brought widespread tree damage and flooding to the region. Other urgent jobs include failed rooftop HVAC units at businesses that can't stay closed, equipment that has tipped or needs to be set back on a pad, and lifts needed to keep a construction schedule from falling apart.
After a big storm, many crane providers get a flood of calls at once. A clear request — what's down, where it is, how big it is, how you can be reached — helps a provider judge what equipment to bring and how soon they can get there.

Emergency crane service FAQ
General information to help you plan. Your crane provider has the final word on equipment, safety and pricing for your specific lift.
Can I get a crane today?
Sometimes. Short-notice availability depends on what cranes and operators are free, the weather, and the size of the job. No provider can guarantee same-day service, but a detailed request improves your chances.
Should I call my insurance company first?
Make the scene safe first, then document the damage and contact your insurer as soon as practical. Many policies cover emergency mitigation, but coverage is between you and your insurer.
Is emergency crane work more expensive?
Often, because of after-hours or weekend labor and short-notice scheduling. Each provider sets its own pricing; ask for it before work starts.
What should I include in an emergency request?
The exact address, what's down and roughly how big it is, what it's resting on, whether power lines are involved, photos if possible, and the best phone number to reach you.
