Stevenson Crane Rental La Grange IL: Crane Rental, Service, Rigging & Heavy Haul for the Western Suburbs
Stevenson Crane Rental in La Grange, IL puts one of the largest lifting fleets in the Midwest within a 20-to-25-minute mobilization of every job site in La Grange and the western suburbs. Our Bolingbrook headquarters sits roughly 15 miles southwest of La Grange, straight up I-55 to the I-294 corridor with more than 150 cranes and 600-plus lifting assets ready to dispatch. Family-owned since 1989, Stevenson Crane is the lifting expert La Grange contractors, facilities managers, and municipalities call when the pick has to happen on schedule and the village is watching.
Crane Rental in La Grange, IL: Bare Rental or Fully Operated
Stevenson Crane rents cranes in La Grange two ways: bare rental for qualified crews and fully operated rental with certified IUOE Local 150 operators who work these suburbs every week. Rough-terrain cranes from 30 to 160 tons, all-terrain cranes from 60 to 600 tons, truck cranes from 30 to 120 tons, carrydecks from 8 to 25 tons for indoor and tight-access picks, and crawler cranes to 880 tons for structural and infrastructure work. On a La Grange lot squeezed between a parkway tree and a neighbor’s fence, having the right size crane, not just a crane, is what keeps your pick on time and your crew billable.
Crane Service and Lifting Support in La Grange and the Western Suburbs
Stevenson is more than a crane rental yard. We provide crane service, OEM parts, in-shop and on-site maintenance, engineered lift planning, rigging, and permit support for jobs across La Grange, Oak Brook, Hinsdale, and Downers Grove. Each western-suburb village runs its own street-closure and right-of-way process; give us the site address and we’ll tell you what’s required and how much lead time to build in so nobody is standing around on pick day waiting on an inspector.

From La Grange we dispatch daily to Oak Brook, Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Burr Ridge, Westmont, Darien, and Elmhurst, plus La Grange Park, Western Springs, Brookfield, Countryside, Clarendon Hills, Willowbrook, Lisle, Oak Park, Berwyn, and Cicero. Chicago’s West Side is about 13 miles east of La Grange and inside the same service window.

Why La Grange Contractors Choose Stevenson Crane Rental
A 150-crane fleet means the right machine is available when you need it, not two weeks from now. Every crane is inspected and maintained before it leaves the yard, so you get fewer on-site delays and full OSHA and ANSI compliance. Dispatch answers 24/7 for emergency picks, weekend windows, and after-hours rooftop swaps. And because crane rental, rigging, and heavy haul all live under one roof, one call to Stevenson covers the entire move.

Storm Cleanup Equipment for Tree Removal | Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana
After the Derecho: Equipment Built for Storm Cleanup Across Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana
On the morning of August 11, a derecho tore across northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana with straight-line winds of 70 to 120 mph. The National Weather Service confirmed multiple tornadoes in the south suburbs, and the hardest-hit areas Will County, southern Cook County, and Lake and Porter counties in Indiana are right in our backyard. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses lost power. Trees came down on homes, roadways, and utility lines, and a second round of severe storms rolled through the very next day.
For many of our neighbors and customers across the south suburbs and NWI, the storm is over but the cleanup is just beginning.
Storm-Damaged Trees Are Not Ordinary Tree Work
Downed and damaged trees after a wind event like this are some of the most dangerous material a crew can handle. Trunks and limbs are under unpredictable tension. Hangers and split leaders can release without warning. Root balls can shift. And much of the worst damage sits exactly where you don’t want people working tangled in power lines, leaning over structures, or blocking access roads that emergency and utility crews need open.
Traditional cleanup puts climbers and ground crews directly in that danger zone. There’s a better way.
The Woodcracker CS Smart: Cut, Grip, and Place From a Safe Distance
The Woodcracker CS Smart tree shear attachment, paired with a Manitou MRT rotating telehandler, was built for exactly this kind of work. Instead of sending a crew member up into a compromised tree, the operator grips the tree first, makes a clean, controlled cut, and places the material safely on the ground all from the cab.
Why this setup matters for storm response:
Controlled cutting and placement. The Woodcracker grips the tree before it cuts, so storm-damaged limbs and leaning trunks never free-fall. Material goes where the operator puts it — not where gravity decides.
Fewer people in the drop zone. With cutting handled remotely from the machine, fewer crew members are needed near the hazard. On a job site full of tension-loaded wood, that’s the single biggest safety win.
360° rotation and long reach. The MRT’s continuously rotating turret lets operators cut and place debris without repositioning the base machine — critical in tight residential streets, along utility corridors, and on rough or debris-covered ground.
One machine, multiple jobs. Lift, cut, grip, and clear with a single unit instead of mobilizing a crane, a telehandler, and separate forestry equipment. That means faster response and lower cost when time matters most.
Whether you’re a tree service company facing a backlog of storm calls, a municipality clearing roadways, a utility contractor restoring corridors, or a property manager with damage on site we can help you get the right equipment on the ground fast.
Clear the Path Safely
Storm cleanup will continue across the region for weeks. If your crews are heading into storm-damaged trees, do it with equipment designed to keep them out of harm’s way. Stevenson Crane does not provide tree cutting, trimming or tree removal services.

What Can a 900 Ton Crane Really Do? Meet the Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1
The 900 ton Liebherr crane gives Stevenson Crane the power to take on some of the largest and most complex lifts in the industry.
The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 combines high lifting capacity, long reach, and all terrain mobility. Because of that, it can support major industrial, infrastructure, energy, utility, and construction projects.
However, a crane this large is only one part of the solution. Every successful heavy lift also depends on planning, site conditions, rigging, experienced operators, and the right crane setup.
How Large Is the Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1?
The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 is a nine axle all terrain mobile crane built for demanding heavy lifts and long reach.
Depending on the setup, the crane can provide:
• 900 ton class lifting capacity
• Nine axle all terrain mobility
• 171 foot telescopic boom
• Lattice jib options for added reach
• Nearly 500 feet of available hoist height
• Large counterweight setups for demanding lift plans
In addition, the crane can be configured for the needs of each project. Therefore, lift radius, boom length, counterweight, ground conditions, and site access all play an important role in the final lift plan.
What Is a 900 Ton Crane Used For?
A 900 ton crane is used for projects that require major lifting power, long reach, or a combination of both.
Common applications include:
• Large industrial equipment
• Power generation equipment
• Transformers
• Major structural components
• Infrastructure projects
• Plant shutdowns
• Energy projects
• Complex construction lifts
Still, load weight is only one part of the lift plan.
The team also needs to know how far the crane must reach, how high the load must travel, what obstacles are in the way, and how much space is available for setup.
As a result, choosing the right crane always starts with the full project details.
Why Choose an All Terrain Crane?
An all terrain crane combines major lifting power with jobsite mobility.
The LTM 1750-9.1 can travel to the project and then be configured for the specific lift. In addition, its boom and jib options make it a strong choice for projects that require height, reach, heavy lifting power, or all three.
For customers searching for Chicago crane rentals, Stevenson can help review the project requirements before the final crane setup is selected.
Does Stevenson Provide More Than Crane Rental?
Yes.
Stevenson can support the full lifting process with services that include:
• Crane rental
• Experienced operators
• Lift planning
• Rigging support
• Engineering support
• Site review
• GPR scanning
• Traffic control planning
• Permit support
• Project management
Because every lift is different, customers do not need to know the exact crane model before calling.
Instead, share the load weight, project location, lift radius, height requirements, site access, ground conditions, schedule, and rigging needs.
Then, our team can help determine the right lifting plan.
Need a 900 Ton Crane for Your Next Project?
From daily crane rental needs to major heavy lift projects, Stevenson has the equipment, experience, and planning support to keep the work moving.
The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 adds serious lifting power to an already strong crane fleet.
Heavy load. Long reach. Tight site. Critical schedule. Bring us the challenge.

FAQ Section
The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 is a large nine-axle all-terrain mobile crane designed for major heavy-lift projects requiring significant lifting capacity, reach, and mobility.
Yes. In the U.S. market, the Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 is commonly described as a 900-ton-class mobile crane.
A 900-ton crane may be used for large industrial equipment, infrastructure projects, power-generation components, transformers, structural work, energy projects, and complex lifts involving heavy loads or long lifting radii.
Depending on its configuration, the LTM 1750-9.1 can achieve nearly 500 feet of hoist height using available boom and jib combinations.
Stevenson supports heavy-lift and crane rental projects throughout Chicago, Chicagoland, Northwest Indiana, the Midwest, and other project locations based on job requirements.
Stevenson Crane Named Authorized Landoll Equipment Dealer
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bolingbrook, Illinois, January 27, 2026
Stevenson Crane Service, Inc. is now an authorized dealer for Landoll Companies’ equipment. This designation expands Stevenson Crane’s ability to support customers with purpose built solutions for narrow aisle, tight space, and precision lifting environments.

Precision Telehandlers for Industrial Applications
Landoll precision telehandlers extend these capabilities beyond warehouse environments. They support industrial and rigging applications where controlled lifting and accurate load placement matter most. The Bendi, Drexel, and precision telehandler product lines align closely with the access and precision challenges Stevenson Crane encounters daily on customer projects.
Expanded Support for Existing Customers
As an authorized Landoll dealer, Stevenson Crane can better support customers who already rely on the company for cranes, rigging, machinery moving, and heavy lifting. Many of these customers also require specialized equipment inside warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and confined industrial spaces. Stevenson Crane can now support projects from internal material movement and storage optimization through final placement and installation.
Local Support with Integrated Capabilities
Stevenson Crane will support Landoll equipment with local inventory, application expertise, and service coverage across Chicagoland and Northern Illinois. When combined with Stevenson Crane’s fleet of cranes, telehandlers, aerial equipment, and rigging services, customers benefit from a more integrated and single source approach to lifting and placement challenges.

What Are Rigging and Machinery Moving Services?
Rigging and machinery moving refers to the process of safely lifting, transporting, and installing industrial equipment. These operations often include cranes, forklifts, gantries, and custom rigging systems designed to move oversized or delicate loads.

Choosing the Right Machinery Movers
When selecting a provider for rigging and machinery moving in Illinois, ask the following:

- Do they own and maintain their own lifting and transport equipment?
- Can they provide turnkey project management from start to finish?
At Stevenson Crane, the answer to each is a resounding “yes.” With over 30 years of experience and a proven safety record, we deliver efficient, safe, and cost-effective relocation services across the Midwest.

While Maeda and UNIC offer competitive models, Jekko’s lineup is packed with industry-leading features and advantages that set it apart:
1. Advanced Technology
Jekko cranes are equipped with the latest in lifting technology. Features such as wireless remote control, intelligent stability systems, and multi-position outriggers make Jekko cranes more efficient and user-friendly than many competitor models, such as Maeda’s MC285 or UNIC’s URW-295. Jekko cranes allow operators to control the crane remotely with precision, reducing the time and effort required for setup and operation. Additionally, these advanced features enhance safety, giving operators better control over the crane in challenging environments.
2. Eco-Friendly Solutions
Jekko places a strong emphasis on sustainability with their electric-powered mini pickers, such as the MPK06 and MPK10. These zero-emission models are perfect for indoor jobs or environmentally regulated sites where diesel engines would be inappropriate. While some competitors like Maeda offer a limited selection of electric cranes, Jekko leads the way with more versatile and powerful eco-friendly models, making them a preferred choice for businesses that prioritize both performance and environmental responsibility.
3. Compact Yet Powerful
In comparison to competitors, Jekko’s mini cranes are known for their exceptional power-to-size ratio. For example, the Jekko SPX532 delivers a 3.2-ton capacity in an ultra-compact design, outperforming similarly sized cranes from UNIC or Maeda in both lifting capacity and maneuverability. Jekko’s ability to provide powerful cranes in compact forms means operators can handle more challenging tasks in smaller spaces without sacrificing performance.
4. User-Friendly Features
One of the standout qualities of Jekko cranes is their user-friendly design. With features like easy-to-use joystick controls, customizable operational settings, and advanced lifting modes, Jekko cranes simplify the operator’s job. The JF series mini crawler cranes offer unparalleled versatility with their articulating booms, which allow for greater flexibility in tight spaces. These features make Jekko cranes faster and safer to deploy, giving them a significant advantage over Maeda and UNIC, which may require more manual adjustments and longer setup times.
5. Versatility Across Applications
Jekko’s range of mini cranes, spider cranes, and mini crawlers is designed to meet a wide variety of applications, from indoor lifts in factories and warehouses to outdoor construction sites and urban environments. For example, the JF545 offers a 15.5-ton lifting capacity with an articulating boom, making it ideal for projects that demand both power and precision in confined spaces. In comparison, the Maeda MK1033 and UNIC URW-706 are similarly intended for versatile applications, but they lack the wide range of configurations and flexibility offered by Jekko cranes.
