Does your project need a crane?
When planning a construction or industrial project, you may be considering hiring a crane.
Cranes are a great investment for projects that require lifting or moving heavy loads with precision and efficiency.
Let’s explore how to determine if you need a crane and which type of crane service would best suit your project.
Assessing your project needs
Before deciding on crane hire, it’s crucial to assess your project’s requirements. Here are some factors to consider:
1. Project Scale and complexity
Large-scale projects: These often involve heavy lifting, such as the construction of multi-story buildings, bridges, or industrial facilities. In such cases, heavy crane hire or mobile tower cranes may be necessary.
Small to medium projects: For tasks like residential construction, landscaping, or smaller commercial builds, small crane hire might be more appropriate.
2. Weight and dimensions of loads
Heavy loads: If your project involves large machinery or lifting extremely heavy materials like steel beams and large concrete blocks, heavy crane hire is essential.
Lighter loads: Smaller loads can be managed with small city cranes, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution.
3. Site accessibility
Limited access: If your site has restricted access or confined spaces, mobile tower cranes and city cranes can offer flexibility and manoeuvrability.
Open sites: Larger, more open construction sites can accommodate a wide range of cranes, depending on the specific lifting needs.
4. Duration and frequency of lifting operations
Short-term projects: For projects requiring crane services for a short period, CPA hire allows you to rent the equipment and operate it with your own qualified personnel.
Long-term or complex lifts: CPA contract lifting is ideal for projects needing extended crane use or specialised lifting operations, as it includes the crane, operator, and all necessary planning and supervision.
