Power Line Crane Rental

Crane With Operator for Electrical Network Work

Two metres from an energized line, every movement counts. The difference between a successful operation and an incident comes down to centimetres. You need an operator who knows clearance distances and doesn’t cut corners.

Coordination with Hydro-Québec teams

Work at Height With Respect for Safety Clearances

Work near power lines requires rigorous preparation. De-energization must be confirmed with the electricity provider. Safety perimeters must be established. Clearance distances must be respected even after de-energization. We don’t start until all conditions are met.


Our Grove TMS 760E crane provides the positioning precision required for work at height near conductors. We communicate with your technical teams at every stage to ensure the work is carried out correctly.

FAQ: Crane for Electrical Work

  • Who coordinates with Hydro-Québec for de-energization?

    Coordination with the electricity provider is generally the responsibility of the client or contractor. Once de-energization is confirmed, we can plan our intervention.

  • What clearance distances must be respected?

    Distances vary depending on the voltage of the lines. Our operator is familiar with regulatory requirements and ensures they’re respected at all times. Specify the type of lines involved when you request an estimate.

  • Can you respond to emergencies on the electrical network?

    Yes. We’re available 24 hours a day for urgent situations. Call us directly and we’ll assess how to help you as quickly as possible.
