SB 58 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Mobile Crane Amendments

SB 58 requires property owners using mobile cranes for concrete tilt-up construction on private projects to obtain a soil assessment report if crane loads exceed 3,500 pounds per square foot. If the report shows the soil cannot support the crane, owners must install a structural pad for safe operation. The bill creates a legal presumption of negligence in lawsuits if owners fail to follow these requirements. It applies to private construction sites and takes effect May 7, 2025.
