A lot of our work happens where space is limited and everything around the job is still moving. Busy streets, occupied buildings, active construction sites, residential towers, commercial properties, loading docks, rooftops, mechanical rooms, and tight access routes all come with constraints.
That is where Thompson Miller is useful. We look at the building, the equipment, the access path, the schedule, and the real-world headaches before building the plan.
Crane-supported lifts, rooftop placements, and equipment with speed, safety and precision.
Moving heavy, awkward, or sensitive equipment through tight spaces, active job sites, and high-rise building conditions.
The weird stuff: limited staging, occupied buildings, downtown access, high-traffic areas, shutdown windows, and jobs that need a real plan before anyone starts moving equipment.
Some jobs are simple. Some jobs come with tight access, awkward loads, busy buildings, limited staging, active trades, and a schedule that does not leave much room for guessing. We design and execute tailored craning and rigging solutions to overcome to toughest access, weight and safety challenges.
Thompson Miller helps project teams turn those messy constraints into a practical plan. We do not just show up with equipment. We help figure out how the work can actually happen.
We deliver safe, efficient high-rise lifts and rooftop crane installs for the GTA’s most complex commercial and mechanical projects.
We position and secure heavy mechanical systems in challenging spaces using proven techniques and customized equipment setups.

Find answers to common questions about our cranes, capabilities, service areas, and what to expect when planning your lift.
We own nine rooftop derrick cranes, including three large units used for major high-rise projects, and we also bring in mobile cranes when a project calls for them.
We specialize in high-rise rooftop crane installs, tight-space rigging, and heavy equipment moves for commercial and mechanical projects.
We use derrick cranes and other rooftop solutions when street cranes aren’t an option.
Bring us in when the job needs more than equipment. Tight access, occupied buildings, rooftop placements, high-traffic areas, limited staging, awkward loads, and unclear logistics are where Thompson Miller is usually most useful. We’ll review the site, the load, the route, the timing, and the constraints so we can figure out what will actually work. Good fit for:
Send us the messy details. We’ll take a look.
Yes, we often work with mechanical contractors in the spring to replace chillers and other rooftop systems ahead of cooling season.
Yes, this is a core part of our business. We are a reliable craning and rigging partner for several General Contractors in the Greater Toronto Area.
We serve the Greater Toronto Area, including downtown Toronto, surrounding municipalities, and major commercial districts, with a focus on high-rise and large-scale building projects.
Do you still have questions?
That's fine. Send us the messy details. We'll help review the access and requirements, so we can figure out what will actually work from the team that tackles the toughest lifts.
