Everything You Need To Be Aware Of When Hiring A Crane

The initial question to resolve when thinking about hiring a mobile crane is the form of rental that is required.

Mobile crane Hire is obtainable in a couple of forms and which way you decide on depends on whether you have the vital know-how and insurance policy in place to meet current legislation.

The two different ways are Contract Lift and Hired Crane

Contract Lift is when the crane proprietor is responsible for every component of the lift for example the planning, getting sufficient insurance and providing appropriate crane and staff.

Hire Crane is where the employing company is responsible for the insurance and the organizing of the lift. The mobile crane rental company must provide a correct, safe crane plus a fully certified driver.

But did you know that all lifts involving a crane needs to have:-

1. a risk assessment or method statement carried out prior to any lift,

2. a qualified appointed person in charge of the operation, and

3. sufficient insurance cover for all personnel involved, members of the public, machinery and for the items being lifted.

All rental firms work to the following regulations:-

CPA (Construction Plant Hire Association) Terms and Conditions

Lifting operations and lifting Equipment regulations 1998 (LOLER) and

British Safety standards BS7121 (Safe Use of Cranes)

For the benefit of clients, most businesses will offer method statements, site visits, overall mobile crane consultation and risk assessments. Many customers recognise their deficiencies in these areas and leave the whole Lift to the mobile crane hire company, from the planning stage through to the lift completion, depending on a dedicated team of on site Managers, Operators, Slinger/Banksmen, Appointed Persons and Crane Supervisors.

All crane operators have to be HGV drivers with the necessary CPCS qualifications. These are an amalgamation of the old CITB and CTA qualifications, but all under the one banner of the Construction Plant Competence Scheme).

Crane fleets range from a lifting capacity of 1 tonne to 200 tonnes, which together with fully qualified, professional staff, enables cranes to tackle a wide range of jobs with safety and ease. Widespread use is in the building industry, placement of equipment on commercial roof tops, the removal of fallen trees, recovery of vehicles and even lifting pianos to a 5th floor apartment.
