Patriot Crane lifts and sets HVAC units across Fresno: rooftop package units, condensers, refrigeration units. Old unit off, new unit on, typically about an hour on site. HVAC contractors and building owners call one number, Rafael answers it himself, and the 40-ton rig shows up when he said it would.
If you have been searching for a crane lift for an AC unit, or an AC unit crane rental with an operator who has done this a hundred times, this is that call. Rooftop unit changeouts are the bread and butter of this operation. His own line for it: one up, one down, about an hour.
A crane that shows up late burns your whole install day. Crew standing around, customer with no AC, roof open in the Fresno heat. Rafael runs it differently, and the HVAC outfits that use him once keep using him.
If the lift is set for 7 a.m., the rig is set up and ready at 7 a.m. He holds the schedule so your installers are swinging wrenches, not watching the gate.
He sets the unit where your installers want it, holds the pick steady while they line up the curb, and stays on the hook until they say it is good. No attitude, no rush job.
He put a camera on the ball so he can watch his own picks. Units come down easy, nothing gets dragged across the membrane, and the roof looks the way he found it, minus the old unit.
"Awesome work, very professional, needed to replace refrigerator unit on the roof, didnt take very long"
"Rafael did an outstanding job removing our two old package units and setting the new ones in place."
"Very good service, a very friendly approach, and excellent attention to detail."

Usually, yes. The rig carries 123 feet of boom, so on most single-story and two-story commercial buildings he can set up in the parking lot or the street and reach the unit from there. Text a picture of the building and he will tell you straight whether it reaches.
All the time. Most of this work is repeat work from HVAC companies that keep his number and call whenever a changeout comes up. Put him on your install calendar and he holds the schedule. Same operator, same rig, every lift.
Three things: the weight of the unit, the height of the roof, and where the crane can set up. That is enough to plan the pick and give you a straight quote. A photo of the unit and the building answers most of it, so text one to (559) 928-6702.
