A Quick Guide To Mobile Crane Hire

N SAMPSON • 15 December 2022

Mobile cranes represent an incredibly powerful yet extremely lifting option for a range of projects. If you acquire a larger crane from a crane hire company, it will need to be installed in a single fixed location, something that can be problematic if you require the crane to be used in multiple locations on the construction site. Mobile cranes are an adaptable lifting solution as they can be moved around to different places with ease, creating excellent flexibility that results in the job being completed more quickly and with more efficiency. Read on to find out more about mobile crane hire and the ways in which they can improve a variety of lifting-based projects.


What is a mobile crane?

A mobile crane is an industrial piece of equipment which can easily transport cargo and other building materials. They can lift a huge amount of material, as mobile cranes available to hire at Nick Sampson Mechanical Engineering Services Ltd can lift up to 160 tonnes. They are manoeuvrable and available from a crane hire company in a range of sizes and heights, perfectly fitting the needs of your construction project in a cost-effective and easy way.


The benefits of mobile crane hire:

A mobile crane can be transported with ease and is quick to assemble once it has arrived. It is an adaptable and safe option, that has numerous benefits for you and your project:


Reliability

Although of a smaller size, mobile cranes are incredibly strong but can still fit into smaller construction sites very well. The solid and compact frame in their design means that they are more adaptable than big cranes, and for most projects are of adequate strength and lifting capabilities.


Size

Mobile cranes have incredible flexibility by virtue of their size and can fit into compact areas. For busy locations with restricted space, this can be ideal. They can even be used inside buildings, making them an ideal solution for internal and external projects.


Cost-effective

Mobile cranes can be used for a variety of tasks, meaning that you don’t require a variety of cranes to complete separate jobs within a single construction site. This can keep your project on a good budget as you’ll be spending less, and you don't require the costly permits that are required to operate larger cranes.


Set-Up Times

Mobile cranes can be set up in a much quicker time frame than larger cranes, improving the speed and efficiency of the task at hand. The speedy set-up times of mobile cranes mean that the worker's time isn’t wasted and the project can be completed in an effective manner.
