Heavy-Lift Specialists · Energy Corridor

The Iron —
We Don’t Need to Rent It.
We Have It.

Coldfoot Crane Specialists operates one of North America's most distinctive and well thought-out heavy-lift fleets. The Liebherr LTM 1800 — a 1,000 US ton hydraulic truck crane, the only hydraulic boom crane built capable of running with a derrick and tray. The Liebherr LGD 1550 — converted to US outrigger ANSI specs, a 685 US ton lattice boom on an X-platform outrigger 24-tire carrier that runs circles around crawlers on wind maintenance and refinery shutdowns. We don't do wind erection — we do wind maintenance. Coldfoot operates the world's largest fleet of these machines, with tray-and-derrick systems, heavy and light boom packages, and full luffer/jib systems on the yard.

The Demag TC-2800 — a unique beast, ideally suited to the datacenter and battery-storage build-out, with load charts and mobility that greatly outperform the CC-2800 line. A serious addition to the lineup. The Liebherr LR 1600 — no longer in production, but one of the most versatile crawler systems Liebherr ever built, for the jobs where a crawler is the right answer. The LR-1300SX with luffer — most crane companies run only an SX main or a standard 1300 boom with a light luffer; ours is a very capable machine in a light package for its class.

Tadano and Link-Belt Telecrawlers — the way to go for support work, far surpassing the efficiency of RT cranes on fast-moving sites where experienced project managers look past the typical construction fleet for real productivity. When the project calls for the right tool — not whatever's available — this is where the call gets made.

Heavy
Lift

The cranes that make Coldfoot COLDFOOT. Built for wind turbine maintenance, small modular reactor installations, specialty refinery turnaround lifts, and the projects other companies shy away from. Every unit thoughtfully configured for the special needs within the energy corridor — we looked ahead to the grid demands created by datacenters and invested in the right equipment.

// Engineering Comparison
Three Cranes. One Wind Turbine Lift. One Beats Them All on Mobilization.
89 m hub height · 164,000 lb nacelle · LGD 1550 vs LR 1600 vs TC-2800 — and why all three outperform the LR-1700.1 on truck count.

Configurations
That Win Jobs.

Most yards rent cranes. Coldfoot configures lift solutions. Our depth across accessory systems means we'll show up with the exact rig the lift study requires — not the closest thing in inventory.

001 //
Tray-and-Derrick Packages

Two complete suspended-counterweight (B) systems on the yard. Stacks Liebherr SLDB and SWDB configurations on demand.

002 //
Heavy Lattice Sections

S (heavy) sections up to 77 m each. L (light) sections up to 84 m each. Configure any SL boom length the project calls for.

003 //
2 Million Pounds → 1,300 PSF

A 20'×20' wood-and-steel mat system per outrigger drops a 2,000,000 lb crane-plus-load down to 1,300 PSF ground pressure — well inside the bearing capacity of nearly any field soil in the basin. Soft soils, sand, saturated clay: matted into operating-grade sites without weeks of subgrade work.

004 //
SL2 · SL3 · SL5 Adapters

Full head-adapter inventory — 220.5 kps pulley blocks, no-pulley variants, and extension configurations for specialized rigging.

005 //
Lift Engineering In-House

LICCON-generated lift studies, ground-bearing analysis, and critical-lift documentation. We don't hand off — we engineer the lift.

006 //
SPMT & Heavy Haul

Self-propelled modular transporters for staging components to a single crane setup. Cuts move cycles, saves shifts.

Send the load weight, the radius, the site location, and the schedule. We'll configure the crane, generate the lift study, and quote the job. No fluff, no upsells.
