Precision Lifting in the Sky with High-Reach Cranes
Albemarle Crane Service uses high-capacity cranes for large-scale or hard-to-reach lifts, operated by our skilled team. Our extended-reach cranes are designed to move heavy loads, including large trees, construction materials, and equipment, with surgical precision.
Traditional methods often require dangerous climbing or manual lifting. Our crane-based approach transforms the process entirely. With a lifting capacity of up to 100 tons and booms extending over 140 feet, we can safely secure, lift, and position loads even in tight or challenging spaces without impacting your property.
3X Faster. 10X Safer. Total Precision.

3 Cranes
Our 26-ton Altec, 55-ton National, and 100-ton Link-Belt cranes give us a range of lift options for jobs of every size. From precision residential lifts to heavy commercial work, we match the right crane to the job.
4 Loaders
Our loaders move debris, logs, and materials quickly across the job site. They cut hauling time, protect your lawn and driveway from repeated foot traffic, and keep the site clean as the work progresses.
2 Bucket Trucks
Our bucket trucks give operators a stable, elevated platform for trimming, lifting, and positioning loads at height. With hydraulic booms extending over 75 feet, they handle high-up work that doesn’t require full crane capacity.

Bucket Trucks
Elevated Reach. Exact Control. Zero Risk.
Albemarle Crane Service uses specialized bucket trucks to provide a stable, controlled aerial platform for lifts and elevated work. Unlike traditional climbing or manual rigging, our bucket trucks let our team work safely without depending on the strength of a tree, a structure, or scaffolding.
With hydraulic booms extending over 75 feet, we can position our operators next to elevated loads, trim limbs, or maneuver equipment with surgical precision. This reduces risk to both our team and your property.
5X Faster. 10X Safer. Total Precision.
Why Bucket Trucks Matter
- Up to 60% less time on-site for faster project completion.
- Reduced physical risk by eliminating climber fatigue.
- Stable platforms for total control over every lift or cut.
- Surgical precision on every branch, load, or section.
- Safe operation in no-fall zones near homes and structures.
- Built for OBX conditions, tight lots, and coastal trees.
The Result You Can Expect
When professional equipment meets a skilled crew, the difference shows on every job. Faster timelines, safer lifts, and less impact on the property below.
Faster Project Completion
Crane lifts move heavy loads in a fraction of the time traditional methods take, getting your project finished quickly and on budget.
Maximum Lift Capacity
Our 100-ton Link-Belt mobile crane handles the largest residential and commercial lifts on the Outer Banks, including in tight or sensitive spaces.
Of Vertical Reach
Booms extending over 140 feet let us reach trees, equipment, and loads that other crews simply can’t get to safely from the ground.
What Sets Our Fleet Apart
Plenty of crews rent equipment by the day or subcontract their crane work. We don’t. Every crane, bucket truck, and loader in our fleet is owned, maintained, and operated by our own team. That means faster scheduling, lower cost, and full accountability on every lift.
Built for Complex Jobs
Our cranes let us tackle the most complicated work on the Outer Banks. Trees over rooflines, equipment in confined spaces, lifts near power lines, and storm-damaged limbs over garages. Wherever traditional methods fall short, our crane-based approach delivers the power and precision needed to do it safely.
Residential, Commercial & Storm Work
From a backyard oak removal to a multi-day commercial lift, our equipment handles jobs of every size across the Outer Banks. Homeowners count on us for hazardous trees and storm cleanup. Contractors and commercial clients count on us for heavy lifts that keep projects on schedule. Same fleet, same standards, scaled to fit the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big of a job can your cranes handle?
With our 100-ton Link-Belt 86100 mobile crane and 140-foot main boom, we can safely handle nearly any residential or commercial lift on the Outer Banks. For smaller jobs, our 26-ton Altec and 55-ton National cranes give us the flexibility to match the right crane to the work.
Can your cranes reach trees in my backyard?
In most cases, yes. With booms reaching over 140 feet, we can often lift trees out of backyards without ever driving into the lawn. We confirm access during the on-site estimate.
