Bonus: Crane Project Planning Checklist

Use this practical checklist before finalizing your crane rental. Take advantage of this useful list before you confirm the rental or purchase:

  • Determine the maximum load weight and the height of lift
  • Identify condition of the terrain - urban, off-road, muddy, restricted access
  • Decide between stationary type lifts or maneuverable access
  • Check if road access is available, evaluate turning radius of crane, and if site entry is restricted
  • Determine length of use - short term vs long term use
  • Verify that a certified operator is available, and check on local requirements
  • Match the type of crane with the type of work (residential, metro, industrial, port)
  • Check to see if vendor offers maintenance and backup support, and if insured
  • Consider mobilization time from local crane facilities, and distance from location
  • Confirm certification status of the lifting equipment, inspection and load testing documentation
