Common Questions

BESS Crane FAQ

What size crane is needed for BESS container placement? +
Battery module containers typically weigh 30,000–80,000 lbs. All-terrain cranes in the 100–350T class are commonly used depending on pick radius, site access, and stacking configuration. Our team specifies the right crane based on container weight, placement sequence, and ground-bearing conditions.
Do you provide PE-stamped lift plans for BESS projects? +
Yes. All critical lifts on BESS projects receive PE-stamped lift plans — including container placement, transformer picks, and tandem lift operations. This is a standard requirement from BESS EPCs and is included in our project scope.
Are you prequalified for EPC-managed BESS construction? +
Yes. Apex Crane Service is prequalified through ISNetworld and Avetta. Our operators are NCCCO-certified and our safety record meets the standards required for utility-scale battery storage project work.
Can you handle both renewable and BESS crane work on a co-located project? +
Yes. For co-located renewable + storage projects, we can scope and perform both the renewable crane work and BESS crane work on a single mobilization — reducing crane move costs and simplifying contractor coordination.
