NIGP 76513: Cranes, Truck Mounted Type, Heavy Duty

NIGP 76513 Cranes, Truck Mounted Type, Heavy Duty (Item) covers truck-mounted and trailer-mounted cranes that state and local governments procure for operational lifting, maintenance, infrastructure repair, and emergency response. Recent solicitations show active procurement across both rental contracts for on-demand crane services with operators and purchase contracts for new integrated crane-equipped vehicles. The County of Orange is soliciting crane rental services with certified operators in five size categories (14-ton through 90-ton hydraulic cranes) to support stormwater lift station maintenance, HVAC installation, and miscellaneous municipal lifting; Gainesville Regional Utilities seeks annual crane rental contracts for 15- to 300-plus-ton capacity equipment to support utility construction and emergency operations; and the Missouri Department of Transportation has posted multiple IFBs for new 2027 Freightliner tandem flatbed trucks equipped with integrated IMT 3220RCS knuckle boom cranes for district maintenance operations. Issuing bodies include county public works departments, municipal utilities, state transportation agencies, and city water utilities. Jurisdictions are also purchasing specialized crane-equipped trucks for landfill and fleet operations, as seen in Ada County's acquisition of a Ford F-550 service truck with IMT hydraulic crane and the City of Cumming's procurement of a 2026 Ford F-600 crane service truck.

Geographic activity clusters in California (Santa Clara County, City of West Sacramento), Florida (Gainesville, Key West, Leon County FDOT), Georgia (Chatham County, City of Cumming), and Missouri (MoDOT St. Louis District), with additional opportunities in Texas, Maryland, and Idaho.
