Cranes are great for lifting large loads, but there are many different types, each with their own advantages for particular tasks. Selecting the right crane will have a huge impact on the work you’re undertaking and the first decision you’ll need to make is tower or mobile crane hire.

Take a look at the key benefits of tower cranes and mobile cranes to help you make the right choice:

Tower crane hire

Tower cranes are the largest cranes in the world and tower crane hire is an excellent choice for jobs that require reach to extreme heights without sacrificing safety.

They surpass the lifting capabilities of any other crane on the market and are often used to construct high-rise buildings. Fixed into position, tower cranes provide excellent stability and can withstand the toughest conditions.

By opting for tower crane hire, you avoid the need to pay for expensive repairs and ongoing maintenance costs. It also means that you can rent a new model every time, ensuring that you are benefiting from the very latest lifting technology whilst still keeping your costs to an absolute minimum.

Mobile crane hire

Mobile cranes are spectacular pieces of machinery. One of the biggest benefits of mobile crane hire is that the equipment is portable. Cranes aren’t confined to one place and are easily moved from one location to the next.

Busy sites and cities with numerous obstructions usually benefit from mobile cranes as they are incredibly compact and can be manoeuvred into tight spaces – even on the smallest of sites. Their compact size doesn’t impact on their strength or versatility though – meaning lifts can still be completed safely.
