Operated Crane Service,
Keep as Placeholder.
A lift succeeds when the operator knows the load, understands the site, and communicates clearly with your team. We send experienced operators who've handled jobs like yours before, so the work gets done right the first time without surprises or delays.
Baxter’s operated crane service is built around planning and coordination, not just showing up with equipment. We help confirm load details, pick radius, lift height, and site access up front so the right crane and setup are on site the day of the lift. The result is a safer pick, smoother communication with your crew, and fewer delays from last minute changes.
Baxter serves Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with regular coverage in Boston, Worcester, Providence, Newport, and Provincetown. Whether the job is urban, coastal, or industrial, our team can mobilize and support lifts that need dependable equipment and experienced crews.
Our operated fleet ranges from 26 ton boom trucks to a 300 ton all terrain crane, giving Baxter the flexibility to handle quick picks and major planned lifts. We help match the right crane to the job based on what you are lifting and the site conditions.

How Baxter Crane Executes
Operated Crane Service
For Operated Crane Service services we align early with your team to confirm scope, access, pick locations, and sequencing, then coordinate rigging needs and day of communication so the lift integrates cleanly with the rest of the jobsite plan.
Confirm lift requirements
We confirm what is being lifted, where it needs to land, the target date, and any access limits or overhead constraints that affect setup.
Match the right crane and setup
We select the crane class and configuration based on load weight, pick radius, lift height, and site conditions so the lift is sized correctly.
Execute the lift with clear coordination
Our operator works with your crew on site to keep the work area controlled and the pick executed safely from start to final placement.
Close out and stay aligned
We confirm completion, coordinate demobilization, and plan follow on lifts if your project has additional phases.
