How an operated lift works
You don’t rent a machine and figure it out. You hire a lift.
- Step 01
Tell us the load and the site.
The weight or the make and model, where it sits now and where it needs to go. Photos help.
- Step 02
We confirm reach, access and set-up room.
We look at where the truck can park, the ground and any overhead lines.
- Step 03
Our operator makes the pick.
We bring the right crane with an operator who runs it start to finish.

Why Parker
Why Parker.
Insurance
Licensed, bonded and insured.
General liability, umbrella and commercial auto. Ask for a certificate of insurance and we’ll have our agent send it.
Insurance & licensingEquipment
Three knuckle-boom cranes.
A knuckle boom folds and reaches in ways a straight-stick crane can’t. That’s how we work between houses, over fences and under wires that stop other equipment.
Operator
Our operator on every lift.
We don’t rent the crane bare. Our operator will tell you honestly whether a pick is inside the chart.
Since 1937
Family-owned since 1937.
Three generations of the Parker family, and the same straight talk on every job.
Where we work
Valley-wide.
Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, Boise, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Middleton, Emmett and the rest of the Treasure Valley — Ada, Canyon and Gem counties. We’re based at 3214 E Homedale Rd in Caldwell.
Questions
Straight answers.
Short answers to what contractors and homeowners ask us most.
Do you rent the crane without an operator?
No. Every lift comes with our operator. That’s how we keep our insurance clean and your job safe.
Can you lift over my house?
Usually. It depends on the weight, how far the set spot is from where the truck can park, and what’s overhead. Send photos and we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
The weight of the load (or the make and model), where the truck can park, where the load goes, and photos of the path. If the ground is soft or there are power lines nearby, say so.
Do you do emergency work?
Yes — 24/7 emergency response for storm damage and hazard trees. Crane-for-hire jobs are scheduled on weekdays.
Can another tree company hire your crane?
Yes.
