Truss and Structural Steel Setting in Columbia
From Lexington County's new subdivisions to commercial additions across the Midlands, roof trusses and structural steel go up by crane. An independent local operator sets each piece to your framer's or builder's layout — fast, square, and on schedule.
The details
What Truss and Structural Steel Setting Includes
Truss and steel setting includes placement of roof trusses, floor trusses, beams, and structural steel to your framer or builder's layout, with the operator setting each piece where your crew calls for it. The operator works from your builder's plan and coordinates with the ground crew by radio; your framer handles bracing, fastening, and the building work. Columbia Mobile Crane Pros does not own cranes or employ operators — we connect you with independent local pros, and all work is performed under their own license and insurance.
What Affects the Cost
- Number of pieces and building footprint — a long ranch's truss package is a very different day than a two-story with steel beams.
- Boom reach to the farthest set point — wall height, stories, and how far the crane must reach across the slab determine crane class.
- Site conditions and weather — laydown space for delivered trusses, truck access on new subdivision streets, and standby time if framing or deliveries run behind.

A single-family truss set is often a half-day job; larger homes or commercial steel runs take a full day or more. Schedule around your delivery: trusses should be staged on site before the crane arrives so the operator never stands by waiting on a flatbed.
Have trusses or steel delivered and staged in a clear laydown area, keep your framer and crew on site for the whole set, and confirm the crane can reach the truck or lot — tight new-subdivision streets and overhead lines are the most common snags around Lexington County growth corridors.
