CraneGenius surfaces crane-ready projects by reading the full signal trail around industrial and construction activity. Permits are one signal among 70+ others, including utility activity, procurement signals, labor indicators, financial disclosures, and project movement data. The result is earlier positioning, better timing, and more qualified conversations before the market crowds in.
Live in the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and UAE.
If you own, lead, or drive growth at a crane company and need more qualified project conversations, this is for you.

This is our internal intelligence platform, CAPEX LAYER. It reads the full industrial and construction signal trail in real time, including permits, project movement, utility signals, procurement activity, labor indicators, financial disclosures, and other early demand markers. What you see in your weekly brief is the output. This is the engine behind it.
It is working for you 24/7, converting that layered intelligence into signal-scored opportunities, live briefs, and outreach sequences.
This platform runs 24/7 across 36+ cities, reading signal layers across industrial and construction markets, scoring opportunities, and routing the highest-value situations to your team before competitors are positioned.
Your weekly brief is the summary. This is the machine behind it — and it is what your $2,500/mo buys you access to.
We read the broader signal trail across industrial and construction markets and surface the jobs where your equipment fits, the timing matters, and the buyer is moving before the market fully reacts.
We reach out to GCs at the permit address using your name and your credentials. Every message references the specific job at the specific address. GCs respond because it is relevant, not because it is a pitch.
At Tier 2 and above, we run the full sales motion with you -- qualifying replies, preparing your proposal strategy, and helping move the opportunity to signed work. You close it. We make sure it gets there.
The pipeline compounds. The longer we work your market, the sharper the targeting gets. Month 3 outperforms Month 1 because we know which GCs respond, which permits move, and which jobs fit your fleet.
Most crane companies start with the $2,500/month intelligence subscription. That is where you get the signal feed, the weekly brief, and the contacts to win work before anyone else calls.
Winning work is not about activity. It is about knowing which project to call on, when the GC is ready to talk, and how to position your fleet against the job. That is what this system is built to deliver.
Hiring a salesperson is infrastructure, not a shortcut.
You carry salary before they generate a dollar. You provide direction while they ramp. You cover benefits, phone, travel, and tools whether the pipeline moves or not.
What most owners actually want is not a salesperson. They want the right projects showing up at the right time, with someone already in the conversation. That is what this system is built to deliver.

The Core Difference
A salesperson needs direction.
This approach gives you timing and fit.
Timing determines who wins the job.
// Your market. Your signal feed. Your weekly brief.
Your market. Your signal feed. Your weekly brief. Everything you need to find the right jobs before anyone else calls.
Primary Outcome
You see the right jobs before competitors do.
You spend less time chasing cold leads and more time on high-probability work.
You improve utilization without adding headcount.
You win more because you show up earlier, with the right pitch, to the right GC.
What This Tier Delivers
The done-with-you ramp gets you your first jobs in 90 days. After that, you own the motion. We own the signal.
// One company per market. When it is gone, it is gone.
Add a second territory at the same rate.
While you hold your territory, your competitors cannot buy it. The moment you cancel, that changes.
Operator Track members receive a monthly signal brief built around the work you want, the full Operator Track course, and a private community focused on moving from $1M to $2M+ revenue without hiring a sales team.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
This tier is exclusively for operators who: Own or operate 1 to 3 cranes or pieces of equipment. Have no dedicated salesperson or sales staff. Generate under $2 million in annual revenue. If your business does not meet these criteria, your account will not be activated. We enforce this because our platform is 100% return-on-investment focused.
If you are already on a CraneGenius platform plan, the Operator Track is not the right tier for you. Platform subscribers have access to all signal data directly. Contact us to review your current plan.
The Operator Track is built for one purpose: to help you grow from where you are to where you want to be. From one crane to a fleet. From doing your own sales to having a team. From under $2M to the revenue level that requires real infrastructure.
MONTHLY SIGNAL REPORT
Built around your submitted request
$500 value
OPERATOR TRACK COURSE
Full five-module Operator Track course
$997 value
PRIVATE COMMUNITY
Private operator community — ongoing access
Ongoing
Total value: $1,497+ per month
$500 per month for 90 days
After 90 days, continued access requires a one-year partner commitment. If you complete the 90 days and decide not to continue, the course and your first three signal reports are yours to keep.
Already past $2M or have a sales team? Book a call.
David Lee walks through Tier 1–3, deferred monthly fees until your first qualified opportunity, one market per partner, and the $2,500 activation.
Targeting is not marketing.
Targeting means identifying projects where:
The timeline is under pressure
The schedule is slipping
The scope is changing
The project needs help quickly
These conditions create urgency.
Urgency creates opportunity.
Hiring a salesperson is not just salary.
It is infrastructure.
Typical first-year costs include:
Salary or draw
Commission
Phone and technology
Vehicle or travel
Insurance
Benefits
Training and ramp time
Management oversight
Many owners carry these costs for months before results become consistent.
Instead of hiring and managing a salesperson, you get:
Targeted opportunities
Professional deal support
Faster time to revenue
No ramp period
No payroll overhead
No long-term commitment
You are not choosing between services.
You are choosing between overhead and outcomes.
This program is limited to a small number of crane companies each year due to the level of direct involvement required.
Capacity constraint: limited Founder Program slots.
This engagement is for select partners and is offered by invitation only. Scope is defined privately and accepted only after fit is confirmed.
Market mapping, competitive audit, signal source identification, and buyer persona validation. We establish the real opportunity before any build begins.
Pipeline infrastructure, outreach sequences, lead capture, and the revenue architecture. We build to a testable state within the first 30 days.
Active outbound, conversion optimization, retainer close, and first revenue event. We measure, iterate, and eliminate what doesn't convert.
Market expansion, team hire, system documentation, and fundraising readiness if applicable. The system operates without founder dependency.
CraneGenius is powered by CapEx Layer and built specifically to help crane companies win more work.
