Crane Truck Services We Provide in Asheville

Building Materials Delivery We coordinate directly with Asheville-area lumber yards, roofing distributors, and masonry suppliers to deliver heavy loads directly to your job site. Our crane-equipped flatbed places bundles exactly where your crew needs them — even on tight urban lots, steep hillside builds, or sites with limited staging room.

Landscaping & Hardscape Supply Delivery From large boulders and pallets of pavers to bulk soil and mature trees, we handle the heavy deliveries that landscape crews and supply businesses need placed precisely. Whether you’re working a residential project in Kenilworth or a commercial installation near the River Arts District, we bring the lifting capability to you.

Precast Concrete Placement Septic tanks, concrete vaults, retaining wall panels, and architectural precast elements require careful handling and accurate placement. Our articulated knuckle boom crane makes precision placement possible for contractors and precast suppliers throughout the Asheville metro area.

Equipment Rental & Machinery Delivery Rental companies and their customers in Asheville rely on us for safe loading, transport, and unloading of small to medium-sized machines and equipment. One vehicle, one operator — no need to coordinate separate haul trucks and lifting equipment.

Utilities & Infrastructure Placement Utility contractors and municipal crews working in Asheville call on us to move and set poles, transformers, cable spools, and vaults. Our crane truck delivers the precision and safety that infrastructure work demands.

Specialty Transport & Oversized Cargo Modular structures, containers, oversized freight — if it doesn’t fit standard delivery parameters and needs a lift, we can handle it. We serve both commercial clients and Asheville-area residents with specialized crane and transport solutions.

Junk Removal of Heavy & Oversized Items We specialize in removing items that standard junk services can’t touch — old structures, vehicles, heavy appliances, scrap, and large debris. If you need smaller bulk debris removal, ask about our dumpster bag service.

Serving Asheville’s Diverse Neighborhoods & Project Types

Asheville is a dense, active market with a mix of downtown commercial construction, residential infill, mountain-view hillside homes, and established neighborhoods with tight street access. We know the city well and regularly work across all of it — from the South Slope and West Asheville to North Asheville, East Asheville, and out toward the Swannanoa Valley.

Asheville’s terrain and zoning create real logistics challenges: steep driveways, narrow alleys, limited crane staging room, and sites where a full-size boom truck simply can’t operate. Our HIAB knuckle boom crane on a 16-foot flatbed is purpose-built for exactly these constraints — compact enough to navigate city environments, capable enough to handle serious loads.

About Up! Up! Lifting

Up! Up! Lifting was founded by Dominic Taverniti, a 10-year resident of Black Mountain, following Hurricane Helene. Witnessing the strain on local logistics and the lack of specialty lifting capability across Western North Carolina firsthand, Dominic put a crane truck into service to meet those needs. We’re locally owned, community-invested, and proud to serve our Asheville neighbors with honesty and hustle.
