Hurricane Response — Gulf Coast
Hurricane crane & rigging response in Louisiana
From Lake Charles and Acadiana to New Orleans and the coastal parishes, Louisiana's Gulf Coast is repeatedly in the path of major hurricanes. Elevate is prepared to mobilize crane and rigging support for storm-damaged structures, trees, and marina recovery work across the region.

Hurricane response is performed with the same Manitex 50128 SHL 50-ton crane Elevate runs every day, subject to load-chart limits and safe working conditions. Elevate does not advertise capacity beyond that crane's rated ability — call with the specifics of what needs to move and we'll tell you what's possible.
No active storm campaign is running for Louisiana right now. When one is, it will appear at /hurricane-response with storm-specific details.
