# Cranes, Outdoor

Facilities & Operations has restrictions on where cranes and heavy apparatus may be used on campus. Additionally, depending on the location, a permit may need to be obtained from the City of Ann Arbor. Areas where cranes are needed should be scheduled through an F&O project planner or coordinator.

Departments needing the assistance of cranes or lifts should complete a work order at [requests.fo.umich.edu](https://requests.fo.umich.edu).
