Hiring a crane can seem complex, especially if it’s your first lifting project. We’ve answered some of the most common questions about crane hire, HIAB lifting and the quotation process to help you better understand what’s involved before getting in touch.
A HIAB crane is a lorry-mounted hydraulic crane that combines transport and lifting in a single vehicle.
Unlike a traditional mobile crane, a HIAB can deliver heavy items to the site and then unload and position them without requiring separate transport and lifting equipment.
HIAB cranes are commonly used for shipping containers, construction materials, machinery and other heavy loads where efficient delivery and placement are required.
For straightforward lifting projects, we can often provide a quotation based on the information you supply. However, for larger or more complex lifts, a site visit may be recommended.
A site assessment allows us to evaluate access, lifting distances, overhead obstacles and any other factors that could affect the operation, helping ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the lift.
Not every project requires a crane, but if you’re moving, lifting or positioning heavy, oversized or awkward items, professional crane hire is often the safest and most efficient solution.
Crane hire is commonly used for placing shipping containers, lifting machinery, moving construction materials and handling loads that can’t be moved manually or with standard equipment.
If you’re unsure whether your project requires a crane, our team can assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable lifting solution.
This depends on the nature of the project. Some lifts can be quoted at a fixed price, while others are priced based on the estimated time required, the complexity of the lift and the level of planning involved.
Once we understand your project requirements, we’ll provide a clear quotation so you know exactly what’s included before any work begins.
In many cases, yes. Modern lorry-mounted cranes and HIABs are designed to work in a wide range of environments, including sites with limited access.
However, every location is different, so factors such as road access, overhead obstructions, working space and ground conditions will need to be assessed before confirming the lift.
To provide an accurate quotation, we’ll need some basic information about your project. This typically includes:
For more complex projects, we may recommend a site visit to assess access and lifting requirements before providing a final quotation.
