FREQUENTLY ASKED

FAQ: INDUSTRIAL CRANE RENTAL IN TIJUANA

Do you serve US-based companies operating plants in Tijuana?
Yes. Many of our customers are US-based manufacturers, suppliers and contractors with facilities, operations or projects in Tijuana's industrial corridor. We have bilingual project managers who coordinate directly with your engineering, facilities or operations teams in San Diego, Otay Mesa, Los Angeles and Phoenix. Quotes, technical reports and lift plans are available in English.
What crane sizes and types do you offer?
We operate an owned fleet from 8 to 500 tons, including: telescopic cranes (25–200t), Rough Terrain (RT), All Terrain (AT), all-terrain, Hiab truck-mounted cranes, tower cranes, mobile cranes and specialty units (Pato, Titan). For aerial work we also rent boom lifts and scissor lifts up to 35 meters, plus telehandlers for material handling.
How does cross-border coordination work for heavy haul?
For heavy haul that originates or terminates in the US, we coordinate the Mexican side: SICT (Mexican DOT) permits, escort vehicles when needed, route planning, and customs broker handoff at the border. Your US carrier handles the USDOT side. We have working relationships with established US-based heavy haulers and customs brokers in the San Diego area for streamlined handoffs.
Are your operators certified to US standards?
Our operators hold Mexican certifications equivalent to OSHA standards: documented training in rigging, load charts, lift planning and safety protocols (NOM-009-STPS for elevated work). For projects requiring specific compliance documentation, we provide detailed operator credentials and lift plans for your safety team's review.
How much does industrial crane rental cost in Tijuana?
Pricing depends on crane capacity, duration (hour, day, week, month, project), lift complexity, distance and any additional services (3D planning, supervision, rigging). We quote each project individually after reviewing scope. Call +52 646 117 0288 or request a quote via WhatsApp for a free estimate.
Can you handle a full plant assembly or production line installation?
Yes. We've handled full plant moves and production line installations across Tijuana's industrial parks (El Florido, Pacífico, Otay, Nordika). The service includes: pre-installation planning, equipment delivery, rigging, placement, leveling and final positioning. We coordinate with your engineering team on schedule and acceptance milestones.
What documentation can you provide for our compliance team?
We provide: lift plans with load calculations (signed), operator credentials, equipment maintenance records, insurance certificates, risk assessments for critical lifts and post-operation reports. For repeat work with multinational clients, we maintain a documentation package aligned with their internal vendor requirements.
Do you offer 24/7 service for emergencies and unplanned downtime?
Yes. We handle emergency requests and unplanned plant downtime 24/7 in Tijuana and the surrounding area. Response time for in-hours requests is typically same-day; off-hours and weekends depend on equipment availability. For urgent situations call +52 646 117 0288 directly or use WhatsApp.
