Generator Placement After Storms
Crane placement of generators and temporary power equipment to support recovery when the grid is down.
Urgent situation? We are on call 24/7.
When the grid is down after a storm, temporary and standby generators keep critical facilities, businesses, and recovery operations running — but the larger units need a crane to place them safely.
Elevate can lift and set generators and temporary power equipment onto pads and platforms during recovery, coordinating with your electrical contractor for the connections.

We complete the lift, confirm the result, and leave the site clear.
If there is an immediate threat to life, fire, gas leak, or active electrical danger, call 911 and the appropriate utility authority first. Do not enter floodwater, approach downed lines, or stand near unstable structures.
- If life is at risk, call 911 and the utility first — then call us
- Stay clear of downed power lines, floodwater, and unstable structures
- Keep people and pets away from suspended loads and active recovery zones
- If safe, photograph the damage and note the exact location
- Share a GPS pin and gate/access details so we can reach the site
- Do not attempt to move heavy or unstable objects yourself
We can work alongside restoration contractors, roofing and demolition crews, adjusters, and property owners, and can support documentation needs during recovery. We do not guarantee insurance coverage or approval — but we can coordinate with your team and provide photos and details of the work performed.

Do you connect the generator?
No — we lift and place the unit; a licensed electrical contractor makes the connections. We coordinate timing with them.
Can you place a large generator on a rooftop or platform?
Often, yes — it depends on weight, reach, and set-up room. Send the unit details and location and we will confirm.
