Why Mobile Cranes Are Perfect For Rural Projects

With 90% of Devon’s land area being rural, the sometimes hazardous natural terrain may seem the first and greatest barrier to overcome when beginning the planning of your local construction project. But with the use of mobile cranes, this stage of the process can be an afterthought rather than a cause for anxiety.

A mobile crane is a type of crane which can be transported across several worksites, capable of lifting weights between the 45 and 180 tonne range. Though smaller in size than its more immobile counterparts, this style of crane available for hire through Nick Sampson offers a more agile solution that is well-suited to rural projects specifically.



Elimination Of Ground Preparation

Through the use of outriggers and counterweights, mobile cranes can stabilise themselves when lifting within their weight range without the need for pre-existing foundations, as would be the case with a conventional crane. This means that mobile crane hire options circumvent the associated time and costs of building foundations, allowing you to start on the project at hand sooner and with reduced spending overall.

Accessibility

Nick Sampson’s mobile cranes feature models that range from six to ten wheels: in each case, their mobility is a defining feature that allows for the same range of movement of a car or van within the job site. Second to money and time-saving benefits, this aspect of mobile cranes is what makes them just so useful in more testy areas like sloped woodlands, where conventional cranes will struggle.

Uses In Devon’s Farms

Having worked exclusively in Devon and the nearby counties of Cornwall and Somerset since its founding in 1987, the learned benefits of mobile crane hire in the local business landscape are what inform Nick Sampson’s firsthand understanding of their use. In the case of the many local farming and agricultural sites, for example, we provide a service that is matched to the local economy through a service that meets the specific needs of a farmsite.

Versatility

As a construction project progresses, unforeseen circumstances may lead to you needing to relocate. It may also be the case that your job is completed in a shorter timeframe than expected. In either case, it’s better to have a mobile crane than a static one. No matter how your project unfolds, a mobile crane will always be better equipped to adapt to the changing requirements than one with immobile foundations.
