Renting A Crane For Your Company's Project

Blog

Whether you are needing it for construction, demolition, or other types of work, there are many situations where a crane can be an essential piece of equipment. In most cases, renting a crane as it is needed will be the most economical solution for a business to meet this requirement.

The Need For A Certified Operator  

A crane is a highly specialized piece of equipment, and this means that a person will need to be specially trained and certified to be able to operate it. For a business that has a licensed crane operator on staff, there are rental services that may allow them to use their own staff member to operate the crane, but this will require submitting proof of certification. If your business does not have this type of staff member, a crane rental provider can offer a certified operator to work the crane on your project site.

Where The Crane Will Be Placed

The location of where the crane will be placed is another important planning consideration. Often, individuals will not appreciate the size of a crane when they are first renting it, and this can lead to them failing to have sufficient clearance for it to operate. Before renting a crane for any project, the area where it is going to be placed should be measured. This can verify that there is enough space for the large base of the crane as well as enough clearance for the crane to be able to swing back and forth.

Maintenance Needs For Long-Term Crane Rentals

Many contractors and other companies will only need to rent the crane for a relatively short period of time. However, there can be times when the crane will need to be rented for significantly longer. In these instances, the maintenance needs of the crane system will need to be considered so that the crane will not fall into disrepair and fail during the rental period. Most crane rental services will have a strict maintenance schedule that will need to be followed, but they may also be able to dispatch a technician to the site to oversee this work. Coordinating with the rental service can allow for any necessary maintenance to be done to the crane while also reducing the disruptions that this may potentially cause. This can avoid the risk of a crane failure in the future while also minimizing potential delays that could impact the project that your firm is overseeing.
