Truss setting crane cost in Kansas City
Trusses are light but there are a lot of them. The cost is mostly time: how many picks and how fast the framing crew sets them.

A boom truck for most houses and additions. A bigger crane for long-span commercial trusses or when the truck can't get close.
What moves the price
Truss count, how ready the crew is and how close the delivery truck can park. A half-day minimum is common.

Hourly rates for boom trucks and small cranes run roughly $150 to $350 in the guides. A house set is often a half day. Numbers come from national guides (BigRentz, PICKHVAC), not KC quotes.
Save money
Have the walls braced, the crew on site and the trusses delivered where the crane can reach them without moving.
