Crane Services in McAllen, Texas
Cortes Contracting Services provides crane lifting and heavy lifting solutions for commercial, construction, signage, billboard, structural, and equipment projects throughout McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley.
Crane & Heavy Lifting Services in McAllen
McAllen is one of the busiest commercial corridors in the Rio Grande Valley — retail centers, medical facilities, distribution yards, and signage along Expressway 83 all depend on lifts that are planned and executed correctly. Cortes Contracting Services (CCS) provides crane lifting services for McAllen-area commercial, construction, signage, billboard, structural, and equipment projects, backed by our own crane fleet and experienced crews.
Because we own and operate our equipment, we can handle the lifting, positioning, and transport stages of a project without waiting on outside crane contractors. Here is a summary of the lifting work we provide for McAllen customers:
- Crane lifting
- Heavy lifting
- Billboard lifting
- Sign lifting
- Structural lifting
- Equipment lifting
- Commercial lifting projects
- Material hauling
- 40 ft gooseneck trailer transport
Every project is reviewed before we commit to it. We confirm the load weight, reach, site conditions, scope of work, and schedule against our equipment and load charts — so your lift is planned around what the job actually requires, not assumed to fit. Share your project details and we'll confirm the right approach and provide a quote.
Billboard & Sign Lifting in the McAllen Area
Billboard and sign work is at the core of what CCS does, and crane service is what makes that work possible. From a monopole going up along a McAllen highway corridor to a large commercial sign being set on a retail or business property, the same cranes that lift our billboard structures are available for sign projects throughout the area.
Our crews can lift, set, remove, and repair billboard structures and commercial signage — and because we also weld and fabricate, we can handle the structural work that often comes with these projects. Explore our billboard services and sign installation pages for the full scope of that work.

Heavy Lifting for McAllen Commercial Projects
Beyond signage, our cranes support heavy-lifting work for commercial and construction customers in and around McAllen — setting metal structures, staging construction materials, placing equipment, and handling structural components. Every lift starts with the load, the reach, and the site, and our crews plan each one before mobilizing.
- Metal structures
- Large signs
- Construction materials
- Equipment placement
- Structural components
- Commercial lifting projects
Not every item can be lifted by every crane. Load weight, dimensions, radius, and site access determine what a lift requires — we confirm feasibility for your specific project before accepting it. Learn more on our heavy lifting page.
Owned Cranes, Not Rented Subcontractors
McAllen lifting projects are handled with our own equipment: a National Crane Series 1800 with a 40-ton maximum rated capacity and 79' main boom, and an Elliott G85 that combines aerial access with crane capability. Supporting equipment — ladder trucks, a skid steer, a dumping trailer, and a 40 ft gooseneck trailer — helps our crews complete projects from delivery through final installation.
Lifting capacity always depends on boom length, load radius, configuration, and setup, and all lifts are performed within manufacturer load-chart requirements.
