Renting a crane can help cut overall expenses in your project and ease the burden of buying, storing, and maintaining a crane. However, for you to hire the right crane and get the most from it, you need to consider several things.

 

Here are a few factors to consider before hiring a crane service.

Project Needs

What does your project require? Different kinds of projects require different types of cranes and equipment. You should also be aware that some machines are better suited for certain places and you can use them to lift various types of materials and equipment.

 

When choosing a crane, take into account terrain, structure height, weather conditions, and the weight of the materials that you want to move. If you aren’t sure how to figure out these factors, speak with a professional for assistance.

Capability and Experience

You need someone who knows what they’re doing. Hire someone with a solid reputation, long-term experience, and highly trained staff. Check out their crane inventory, inquire about the brand, capability, maintenance, and performance. Always ensure that all contractors are licensed and insured.

Operator Skills

Operating cranes is not a job for amateurs. Find out if the rental company has certified operators, and ask what type of training their operators undergo to ensure your job is completed safely and professionally.

Insurance

When hiring a crane, it is the responsibility of the leasing company to provide you with the safety requirements you will need. Ask about their insurance status and documents. Review the rental contract and understand what you are liable for in case of an accident.

Hiring Terms and Costs

Make sure that you go over your rental contract before signing to ensure that it clearly outlines the charges and terms of payment. For example, if the job halts or the equipment is incapable of handling the project it was hired for, what is the next step? When you choose the right company, they will go over what payment package will work best for your project.
