Nick Sampson • Dec 13, 2023

Mobile cranes are an interesting machinery variant, ideal for an array of situations in 2024 and beyond. More navigable and situationally flexible than traditional crane machines, these utilities are fantastic for internal projects, smaller sites, or situations in which larger cranes would be inaccessible or impossible to use. Due to the variation in use for these cranes, it’s important to take a look through assorted situations and case studies, giving you extra perspective on how these hireable options can be used, and the advantages of acquiring them on a temporary basis for assorted tasks.


Construction Jobs

The construction trade involves the transport of numerous materials and items to very particular sites, making mobile cranes invaluable. Able to function in nearly every environment with safety and efficiency, mobile cranes are particularly useful in the infamously dangerous construction trade. Mobile cranes offer excellent versatility and manoeuvrability, making them the perfect choice, while hiring can save money too.


Working In The Maritime Industry

The maritime industry includes a wide array of roles involving marine operations, and when concerning ships, smaller boats and larger vessels, adaptable mobile cranes are a fantastic option. More specifically, shipping crates or cargo storage containers sometimes need moving around a site, and to get these bulky objects into place, smaller and more accurate mobile Nick Sampson cranes are crucial.


Budget-Sensitive Projects

Projects hinging on a particular budget or relying on a specific amount being spent on machinery can certainly benefit from hire - with outright purchasing such complex systems often proving costly. A project may have a particular maximum cost due to senior stakeholders or project managers deciding so, and in this instance, temporarily acquiring the necessary utilities is a great idea.


Tasks In The Oil And Gas Profession

If you operate within the oil or gas industry, you may use mobile cranes on a daily basis for everything from easy rigging to maintaining strict and specific safety standards. You will likely need equipment that meets or exceeds rigorous performance standards, and at Nick Sampson, mobile cranes in our inventory are certified for operation in such oil & gas applications.


Particular Interior Maintenance

Smaller and notably more nimble to navigate than their fully-sized counterparts, mobile cranes can be set up and fitted within some interiors, allowing for heavy lifting with minimal initial exertion.
