The Benefits of Mobile Crane Hire

Nick Sampson • 14 September 2023

Mobile cranes provide a solution to many obstacles you may face on the construction site. They offer a more practical crane option than installing one on the site. Whether you choose to hire a mobile crane or buy one, they are a great piece of equipment to have.

 

Here are the benefits of mobile crane hire:



What is mobile crane hire?

Mobile cranes are cranes that can be moved from one location to another. They are often used on construction sites, where they can be used to lift heavy objects. Mobile cranes come in a variety of sizes and types and can be powered by diesel or electricity. You can choose to hire mobile cranes from a plant hire company. This can help you save some money, while still having quality equipment.


The benefits of hiring mobile cranes

Here are some reasons you may choose to hire your mobile crane.


Reliable

Mobile cranes are smaller than standard cranes but they are still very strong. Their smaller size allows them to fit into smaller sites much easier. They have a solid and compact frame which means they are highly adaptable in comparison to bigger cranes. They offer adequate strength for most projects, making them a crane you can rely on.


Size

As they are much smaller than standard cranes, it allows them to fit into much smaller spaces, or down smaller roads or pathways. This means they can tackle jobs that standard cranes wouldn’t be able to. Mobile cranes are way more adaptable and perfect for many different sizes of jobs.


Cost-effective

By hiring a mobile crane, you can save your business money. Buying machinery such as mobile cranes can be costly, and businesses aren’t always in a position to invest in machinery such as this. Furthermore, if you only require the mobile crane for one job, it’s not worth buying. Hiring gives you a more cost-effective alternative that helps you save some money.


Faster set-up times

Mobile cranes are designed to be efficient and they require a much shorter setup time than bigger cranes. This helps ensure that workers' time is not wasted setting up the crane, but can actually be spent getting the job done.
