Published 2025 rate sheets put a boom truck with an operator at $155 to $225 an hour and a 50 to 60 ton crane at $225 to $275. Most companies bill a 4-hour minimum. See crane rental cost.
Minnesota requires a certificate from a nationally recognized, accredited program to operate a crane of 5 tons or more on a construction site, renewed every five years. The state does not issue its own crane license.
