Are you searching for a crane for rent or sale? If so, here are the important considerations to keep in mind:
Choose a crane company that complies with industry safety rules and standards. The largest crane companies worldwide understand the most common cause of crane related fatalities. Hence, they follow industry standards when manufacturing and operating cranes and other heavy machinery.
Rent or buy a crane from a company with insurance to cover you for all damages, such as a worker’s injury during the crane operation. Don’t risk renting or buying a crane without insurance coverage from a reputable insurance company. So, ask for proof of insurance.
Deal with a crane rental service or a crane company that’s known for many years in the industry. You can ask the representative about the company’s past projects and clients to determine its specialties.
Don’t forget to confirm whether the crane service company is available on your preferred days to avoid project delays or temporary shutdown. If you’d like to rent the crane for multiple days, ask about the availability of the equipment for that entire time frame. Ensure that the crane operator’s schedule coincides with yours when booking a rental service.
