About Littleton
Littleton is a city south of Denver that serves as the county seat of Arapahoe County, with a historic downtown and surrounding suburban neighborhoods.
Regional considerations
Wind along the Front Range, especially near the foothills, can affect crane operations, and lifts are postponed when conditions exceed limits. Altitude does not change crane load charts, but weather windows and ground conditions after snowmelt matter.
