CDH Crane Rentals was founded in Lafayette in 2003 and our HQ yard still anchors every job we run across the Gulf South. The Lafayette yard carries the full fleet — from 15-ton boom trucks for HVAC sets in Oil Center high-rises to 500-ton hydraulic cranes for refinery and offshore module work. Dispatch is staffed 24/7, NCCCO-certified operators stage from this yard nightly, and we keep a senior lift planner on call for critical picks.
Over two decades of Acadiana lifts mean we have rigging plans, permit knowledge, and traffic-control relationships dialed in for Lafayette Parish, St. Martin, and Vermilion. We have set chillers on every commercial roof in town, picked oilfield modules at the Port of Iberia, and supported steeple and steel sets from Carencro to Abbeville.
Lafayette is also our parts and maintenance hub. Every crane in the fleet rotates through this yard for OEM-spec service and load-chart re-verification, so the rig that shows up at your jobsite is the one we just inspected.
Cranes available from this yard. Other yards within reach if a specialty pick needs a different rig.
Truck-mounted boom crane for HVAC sets, sign installs, light steel, and rapid-response picks. Road legal, no permit on most picks.
4WD rough-terrain crane for off-road jobsites, refinery yards, and tight industrial pads where a truck crane will not fit.
Hydraulic truck crane for mid-weight commercial, light industrial, and downtown picks where 40T is short and 90T is overkill.
All-terrain crane that drives at highway speed and works off-road on the same day. Most-requested crane in our fleet.
Long-boom all-terrain class for heavy commercial, marine, and refinery picks needing reach plus capacity.
Heavy-lift class for transformer sets, vessel work, structural sets, and critical industrial picks.
Industrial heavy-lift class for refinery turnaround, LNG, marine topside, and substation work.
Large-class all-terrain for LNG modules, refinery vessel sets, and major industrial picks.
Top of the CDH fleet. Engineered heavy lift for refinery vessels, LNG modules, and critical structural picks.
Routine coverage runs roughly 90 miles from yard. We mobilize farther when the project supports it.
Twelve units placed in a single shift over an occupied building with full traffic control on Jefferson.
Critical lift of a 180,000 lb skid from barge to staging yard with engineered rigging and tag-line plan.
Set a 14,000 lb spire on a historic church with a 110-ft radius pick and a permit-route night move.
Dispatch is staffed 24/7. Two-minute call to scope the pick, same-day quote in most cases.
