5 Things to Consider When Renting a Crane for Construction Projects
Types of Cranes
Each type of crane is uniquely designed to perform specific tasks. Here's a look at some of the different types of cranes and their uses:
Hydraulic truck mount:
This mount is ideal for high mobility and versatility. It is suitable for bridge and building construction projects. Because it is compact, it ensures easy maneuverability.
Crawler crane
It is track-based for stability on various terrains and is ideal for projects with narrow or limited access.
All-terrain (AT) crane:
It is excellent for various terrains, including gravel, mud, snow, and paved roads. It is capable of highway-speed travel and handling much heavier loads, and generally has higher capacity than hydraulic truck mounts.
Boom truck
This compact and versatile truck is excellent for precise lifting in urban settings. It features a flat deck for easy setup and highway travel.
Rough terrain (RT) crane:
It is designed for rough or uneven terrain and offers an extended boom length for greater flexibility and reach.

Things to Consider When Renting a Crane
As the construction industry grows, selecting the right crane is crucial. Here are essential factors to consider:
Qualified crane operators: Choose qualified operators who are red-seal certified. You can also choose registered apprentices with experience in various projects.
Height and lift radius required: Consider the crane's reach because the height and horizontal distance you need will affect the crane size.
Lift capacity required: Assess the load's weight to determine the appropriate crane size because incorrect weight assessments can lead to delays.
Job site terrain: Different terrains and weather conditions impact crane efficiency and safety. So, choose a crane suited to your site's specifics.
Cost of renting a crane: Factor in the size, type, and rental duration of the crane. You can work with an experienced company to maximize crane use and manage costs effectively.
