What is a small crane?
They're smaller versions of our current crane lineup – compact and versatile. These cranes are perfect for city jobs, especially in tight spaces or areas with limited access. They're ideal for lifting lighter loads, like roof trusses and AHUs, with precision.
Another great thing about our tailored BJW Crane Hire service is that our cranes are suitable to operate on all terrains and can even be used inside buildings! Each is speedy on the road and smooth to manoeuvre with 4x4 all-wheel drive and steering.
As part of our CPA contract lift and services for projects in the city, we supply cranes that are appropriately certified and have been tested and maintained to meet CPA (Construction Plant Hire Association) regulations and BS7121 standards. We also offer competent crane operators who will make sure the crane is always operated correctly and safely.
The safety of our customers and clients is of the utmost importance to us at BJW. That's why, no matter how big or small the load, our team is always 100% professional and draws on their vast experience to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Cranes are great for lifting and transporting heavy objects, but they each have their own features and benefits.
Small cranes are perfect for smaller construction sites, where space is limited and a larger crane simply will not fit.
Thanks to their compact footprint and heavy lifting power, they are suitable for all terrains. Whilst they are mostly used in built-up areas in the city, small crane hire is a great choice for lifting or moving relatively light loads from A to B indoors.

Spider cranes are named after their four outriggers, which resemble the legs of a spider. These unique and specialised machines are tailored for tasks that larger cranes can't handle efficiently or access easily.
Mini spider cranes are mobile and compact and can be folded into a cuboid shape, making them convenient for transportation into narrow spaces. Once on-site, the legs can be extended to widen the crane's centre of gravity, enhancing its lifting capacity beyond what you'd expect from its size.
