How To Choose A Mobile Crane Hire Company To Suit You

N SAMPSON • Mar 26, 2024

Mobile cranes are typically mounted onto specially designed trucks, where this design allows the crane to be transported to various locations and worksites. As a result, mobile cranes are the perfect choice for lifting in tight spaces, where a standard, fixed crane may be too bulky to get the job done. 


These cranes can be hired from professional companies to provide additional flexibility, which can be the perfect solution for short term projects or construction jobs dealing with restrictive budgets. Hire contracts may include insurance, delivery costs or machinery operators, depending on the options available from individual companies.


Today there are numerous mobile crane hire companies offering competing services, which can make it difficult to find the best team to work with. Fortunately, we’ve outlined our top tips for choosing the right crane hire company for your project, where this should help you to narrow down your options in a logical manner. Read on to find out more about how to make your selection.


Crane Hire Opportunities

A key factor to consider when hiring a crane is to make sure that the company in question offers the equipment that you need. Each company will have their own unique selection of cranes available, where different models may be free to hire at various times. Speak to the hire team directly to find out what your options are. 


Online Reviews 

Reading online reviews or taking in person recommendations is a great way to find the best crane hire company for you. Find an impartial review site where customers express how they feel about the company in an unbiased manner, or ask other industry experts in your area if they can suggest a well known hire company to work with.


Budget Restrictions

Ultimately your final crane hire decision will be dictated by your budget for the project, where the bottom line is the guiding principle when it comes to securing new contracts. Compare quotes from different companies to find the best price, where you should take note of whether your machinery will be delivered or insured at an extra cost.

A colourful static caravan in a field

Owning a static caravan is great, making family holidays easy and giving you a weekend escape to enjoy year-round. However, after a while, you may get bored of having your caravan in the same location and want to switch it up. This means you’ll have to consider heavy haulage transport and how to safely get your static caravan to its new and exciting location. While it is a challenge logistically, with the right heavy haulage transport company, it is easy. Here’s what you need to know about moving your static caravan. Preparation The first thing you need to do to prepare for your move is to evaluate the size, weight, and condition of your static caravan to decide which transportation is required and how much it will cost. You’ll next need to plan the destination and ensure you have a plot that is ready to receive the caravan. You should check access routes, ground conditions and if there is space for manoeuvring and placement. Depending on where you are moving the caravan you may need to check with local authorities for any permits or permissions required for moving the caravan. Select a heavy haulage transporter When seeking a quality heavy haulage company, look for companies with experience in moving static caravans, lodges or twin units. You can check their reviews and testimonials and ask about insurance coverage. If you are unsure which to choose, ask for quotes and make sure they include all potential costs including escort vehicles and additional equipment. They will need heavy-duty tow trucks and flatbed trailers. Costs and insurance To determine the cost of the move, will be dependent on the distance travelled, the size and the weight of the caravan as well as any other special transportation requirements. You will also need to make sure you have transport insurance to cover your caravan. This might be provided by the heavy haulage company but you should still check the liability insurance to see which damages are covered during the move. Review your static caravan insurance policy to ensure it covers the caravan during the relocation process. For heavy haulage transport, you can trust, use Nick Sampson . We offer a range of heavy haulage including crane transport and other plant haulage. To discuss your requirements and get a quote for your heavy haulage transport, get in touch with our team today.
