Crane Truck Services Across the Lower Mainland & Fraser Valley

A crane truck combines a transport truck with a mounted hydraulic crane, allowing the same vehicle to load, transport, unload and place freight. HIAB is a well-known loader-crane brand, while “picker truck” is another commonly used name for this type of vehicle.

Y2K’s crane trucks can transport and lift a wide range of freight, including:

• Rooftop HVAC units
• Generators and transformers
• Machinery and industrial equipment
• Lumber and building materials
• Steel, rebar and fabricated metal
• Stone, masonry and precast concrete products
• Palletized freight
• Office and storage containers
• Oversized, overlength and irregularly shaped loads
• Non-containerized freight travelling to or from ports and terminals

If your shipment is not listed, contact Y2K. Our dispatch team can review its specifications and determine whether it can be handled by our crane-truck fleet or coordinated through our freight-brokerage network.

Yes. Y2K can load your freight at the pickup location, transport it and use the truck-mounted crane to unload and place it at the destination.

This provides one coordinated transportation service and can eliminate the need to arrange separate loading or unloading equipment. Final placement depends on the shipment, required reach, available crane capacity, site access and safe truck positioning.

Y2K has crane-truck options offering:

• A maximum boom reach of 100 feet
• Lifting capacities of up to 48,000 pounds
• Freight capacities of up to 120,000 pounds

These are maximum capabilities across Y2K’s available equipment. The actual lifting capacity at a particular reach depends on the selected truck, load weight, boom position, required placement and job-site conditions. Provide the shipment’s weight and dimensions, along with the required lifting height and horizontal placement distance, so our dispatch team can confirm the appropriate crane truck.

Yes. Y2K can transport, lift and place rooftop HVAC units, generators, transformers, machinery and other heavy equipment at commercial properties, construction sites, industrial facilities and private residences.

Available equipment includes a 20,000-pound spreader bar, pallet forks and a 5,000-pound winch, depending on the shipment and job requirements.

Y2K regularly provides crane-truck, picker-truck and HIAB services across Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, the Tri-Cities, Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Service to Whistler, Squamish, Hope, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan and other destinations throughout British Columbia may also be arranged depending on the shipment, equipment and placement requirements. For longer-distance transportation within BC or across North America, Y2K can coordinate additional equipment and coverage through its freight-brokerage network.

Yes. Urgent, after-hours, weekend and hot-shot crane-truck services are available upon request and subject to truck and operator availability.

Booking in advance provides the best opportunity to secure the appropriate crane truck. However, customers with urgent requirements should still contact dispatch because Y2K will work to find an available solution. All HIAB jobs are subject to a four-hour minimum.
