Make truss day efficient
- Stage the trusses near the setup spot, in setting order, on dunnage.
- Clear the setup: firm, level ground with room for outriggers. New subdivisions in Van Alstyne and Howe are often soft fill; mention it.
- Check overhead lines along the street and lot line; OSHA clearances can push the crane farther back.
- Have the framing crew and bracing ready so the crane never waits.
- Know the heaviest piece: girder trusses and long spans decide crane size.
Builders: group your lots
If you are setting several homes, put every lot, address and date in one request. Grouping picks into one mobilization usually cuts travel and minimums. City pages for Van Alstyne, Howe and Denison cover local conditions.
Machine choice: most residential roofs are a boom truck; heavier steel or long reach calls for a truck crane or, on unpaved sites, a rough-terrain crane. Budget with the crane rental cost guide.

Truss setting crane FAQ
How much does it cost to set roof trusses with a crane?
It depends on the number and weight of trusses, the reach from the setup spot, and how long the framing crew takes per pick. Many residential packages are a half-day to a day of operated boom truck or small crane time. Operated boom trucks on one published North Texas rate sheet start at $155/hour with a 3-hour minimum (typical, not a quote).
Boom truck or crane for trusses?
A boom truck sets most homes, barndominiums and small commercial roofs when it can park close. Long-span trusses, heavy girder trusses or a setup across a wide lot can need a larger hydraulic crane. See crane vs. boom truck.
Do I need my framing crew ready when the crane arrives?
Yes. The crane bills by the hour, so have the crew, the bracing plan and the trusses staged and sorted in setting order before the crane arrives.
Can a crane set trusses on several lots in one day?
Often. Builders with several homes in a subdivision can save travel and minimum charges by grouping lots. Say so in your request.
