The National Crane 900A Boom Truck
A closer look at the crane behind every Valley Crane Inc. lift — a 26-ton, 75-foot-reach boom truck maintained on a documented schedule and run exclusively by NCCCO certified operators, sized for the residential and light commercial work the Central Valley needs most.
One truck, thoroughly maintained, run by a certified operator
Valley Crane Inc. runs a National Crane 900A boom truck — a mobile crane that combines the lifting unit and the transport vehicle in a single truck, with an NCCCO certified operator included on every job. With a 26-ton lift capacity and a 75-foot maximum reach, it’s sized for the work that makes up the vast majority of residential and light commercial crane requests across the Central Valley: HVAC change-outs, residential placements, sign installs, and light-to-medium construction support.
That combination is also what keeps the truck versatile in tight spaces. It’s nimble enough to work in narrow residential driveways in Fowler, Woodlake, and gated communities that larger cranes can’t access, while still reaching over a house or structure when a job calls for it. Capacity drops off the farther the boom extends, so we always run the numbers on load weight and distance before a job is confirmed — you get an honest answer about what’s possible before we ever show up.
As Valley Crane Inc. grows, we’re investing in additional trucks and specialty attachments, including high-access baskets, so we can take on a wider range of projects without losing the responsive, owner-operated service our customers expect.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
Built for the jobs we run most often
The 900A’s 26-ton capacity and 75-foot reach cover the large majority of the lifts Valley Crane Inc. performs across Fresno and the Central Valley. Here’s a breakdown of the load types it’s sized for.
HVAC Equipment
Rooftop and ground-level package units, condensers, and air handlers for residential and commercial HVAC installs and replacements.
Landscaping & Residential
Boulders, specimen trees, spas, hot tubs, sheds, pergolas, and outdoor kitchen components placed exactly where the design calls for.
Commercial & Construction
Structural steel, roof trusses, framing components, and equipment placement for general contractors and commercial job sites.
Signs & Structures
Monument signs and shade structures set straight, level, and secure on the first attempt.
Equipment that’s ready to work every time it shows up
Documented Maintenance Schedule
The 900A follows a manufacturer-recommended service schedule covering fluids, cables, and structural wear points, so mechanical issues get caught in the shop — not on your driveway.
Pre-Lift Inspection, Every Job
Before every lift, our operator inspects hydraulics, outriggers, rigging, and load charts to confirm the truck is performing exactly as it should for that day’s work.
NCCCO Certified Operator
Every lift is run by an operator certified through the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators, with load calculations and a site walk done before anything leaves the ground.
Sized for the Central Valley, not oversized for it
A bigger crane isn’t automatically a better one for most residential and light commercial jobs — it’s often slower to schedule, harder to position in a normal driveway, and more expensive for work that doesn’t need that much capacity. The 900A’s 26-ton, 75-foot combination is a real competitive advantage for our customers: fewer jobs get turned away for being “too tight,” and fewer customers get told to wait for a bigger, slower-scheduling crane company.
That’s the same reasoning behind how we run the business — one well-maintained, versatile truck, one NCCCO certified operator on every job, and a fleet insured at 100%, backed by a family-owned crew that lives and works in the same Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, Selma, Kerman, Visalia, Hanford, Madera, Tulare, and Kings County communities we serve.
