Crane & Boom Lift Services in Fort Collins
Our crane operators utilize specialized heavy crane rigging and 60ft articulating boom lifts to safely lift and remove massive trees in confined urban backyards without touching lawns or roofs.
Zero-Impact Urban Logging & Tight Space Rigging
When a large tree dies or decays near a house, felling is impossible. Our crane-assisted tree removal process cuts the tree into controlled sections, securing each piece with specialized rigging before a crane lifts it up and over the house into our loading zone. This process ensures zero impact on lawns, gardens, and surrounding homes.
NoCo Services provides professional structural work, high-quality finishes, and detailed cleanups across all jobs. We prioritize worker safety and client satisfaction on every home project.

Our 4-Step Removal Process
We deploy standard safety practices and rigging science to ensure zero-incident extractions on every property:
Hazard Assessment
We inspect wood density, structural lean, proximity to structures, and look up municipal easement rules for necessary permits.
Rigging Setup
Using static lines, blocks, and pulleys, our climbers establish controlled lowering zones, ensuring limbs bypass ground structures.
Sectional Cutting
Climbers and crane hooks lift and drop wood sections in high-risk zones, slowly dissecting the tree from the top canopy down.
Clean & Grind
We process limbs through commercial chippers, clean the grounds completely, and offer stump grinding services to clear your land.

Frequently asked questions about our heavy rigging & aerial access ops services in Northern Colorado:
Crane removal eliminates the need to drop heavy logs onto the ground, which prevents lawn damage and eliminates the risk of logs sliding into structures.
We do not drive the crane onto lawns. We park on the street or driveway, laying outrigger pads, and reach over structures to lift sections from the yard.
Our primary bucket trucks provide up to 60 feet of vertical aerial reach, letting our climbers access high crowns safely.
Yes. All crane operations are coordinated by trained crane operators and riggers to ensure total safety compliance.
Most crane projects are completed in 3 to 6 hours, which is much faster than climbing and sectioning manually.
If street blockage is required, NoCo Services coordinates with city traffic engineering to obtain street permits and place proper barricades.
