Choosing The Right Crane For Your Project
When it comes to tackling large-scale construction or infrastructure projects, selecting the right mobile crane is crucial. The right mobile crane can significantly improve the efficiency and safety of your project, whilst helping you meet project deadlines. To assist you in making the right decision, we’ll walk you through the key factors to consider when choosing a mobile crane for your next project.
Mobile cranes are a versatile haulage solution used across multiple industries. They offer excellent mobility across worksites and are used for collecting heavy machinery and vehicles, loading building materials on-site and inspecting raised structures with a personnel cage attachment.
Assessing Your Project Needs
Before diving into mobile crane options, it's essential to evaluate the specific requirements of your project. By analysing these three aspects, you'll be better equipped to make an informed decision on the most suitable mobile crane for your project:
- Load capacity: Determine the maximum weight of the materials you'll be lifting. This will help you determine the minimum load capacity of your mobile crane.
- Reach: Identify the height and distance the crane must extend to complete the task so you can find a mobile crane with the right reach.
- Site accessibility: Evaluate the terrain, space constraints and other site-specific factors that may affect a mobile crane's mobility. Tighter spaces will require smaller machinery.
Exploring Crane Types
There are 2 types of mobile cranes available, each with their own advantages:
- Telescopic boom mobile cranes: Known for their versatility, telescopic boom cranes feature extendable arms that allow for increased reach and height. They are ideal for projects requiring precise lifting and positioning of heavy loads.
- Lattice boom mobile cranes: These cranes have a lattice structure boom, which provides exceptional strength and lifting capacity. They're best suited for large-scale construction projects where heavy loads need to be lifted over long distances.
