50 to 120-ton mobile cranes with experienced operators for telecom, solar, industrial, construction, tree service, and residential projects. Serving a 3-hour radius from the St. Louis metro — Missouri, Southern Illinois, and surrounding states.

Our Fleet

Three mobile cranes ready for your next project, operated by experienced and certified professionals.

50
Ton

Manitex 50155

Compact footprint for tight job sites. Ideal for antenna swaps, equipment placement, pool sets, lighter construction lifts, and residential work. Goes where bigger iron can't.

60
Ton

Boom Truck

Our workhorse for tree service support and mid-range lifts. The go-to crane for tree removal, pool sets, shelter and cabinet placements, and general construction. The reach and capacity to handle the bulk of everyday crane work.

120
Ton

Terex Demag AC 100-4L

All-terrain heavy-lift capability for major projects. Tower section erection, solar inverter and transformer setting, industrial equipment placement, steel erection support, and large-scale construction lifts. This is the crane that handles the big stuff.

Mobilization & Transport

VMC mobilizes on our own tractor trailers — both day cabs for regional work and sleeper trucks for longer hauls. We also carry an 80-foot expandable pole trailer with rear steer for transporting long steel, poles, and tower sections. No third-party trucking, no schedule gaps waiting on a hauler.

Industries & Applications

Experienced operators and the right crane for every job.

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal

VMC provides crane-assisted tree removal services for tree service companies across the greater St. Louis area, mid-Missouri, Southern Illinois, and surrounding regions. Our 60-ton boom truck is purpose-deployed for tree work, and our operators know how to work safely and efficiently alongside climbing crews. Whether it's a hazardous takedown in a tight residential yard or clearing storm damage, we bring the lift capacity your crew needs to get trees down safely and quickly.

We also handle emergency storm response tree work with crane support available on short notice.

Crane Service for Pool Installation

Both our 50-ton and 60-ton cranes handle fiberglass and concrete pool sets regularly for pool contractors and homeowners throughout Missouri and Illinois. Tight backyards, decks, fences, limited access — we make it work. Our operators have set pools in some of the most challenging residential sites in the region and we work directly with pool contractors to plan access routes and lift logistics ahead of delivery day.

Industrial & Plant Crane Services

VMC provides crane services for recycling facilities, concrete batch plants, and manufacturing operations. We do a significant volume of recurring industrial plant work — heavy equipment setting, equipment swaps, plant maintenance lifts, and rigging. Our 120-ton Terex Demag handles the heavy iron while the 50 and 60-ton cranes cover lighter plant lifts and tight-access work inside operating facilities.

If your plant needs a piece of equipment set, replaced, or moved, we have the cranes and the experience to do it safely and on schedule.

Solar Field Crane Services

Our 120-ton all-terrain crane is built for the heavy, repetitive lifts utility-scale solar fields require. We provide crane and operator for inverter offloading and setting, transformer sets, switchgear placement, and substation equipment. VMC is equipped for multi-week setting campaigns with consistent daily production. We mobilize on our own trucks directly from our Villa Ridge yard.

Telecommunications Crane Services

Tower work is where VMC started and it remains our core. Antenna installations, tower section erection, shelter sets, generator placements, rooftop equipment, and emergency deployments. We've been lifting on towers since day one and our operators understand the precision and rigging these structures demand.
