Help with your crane rental

This post is for the many people who need to rent a mobile crane with an operator from time to time however are unfamiliar with the procedure and feel uneasy doing this. (a mobile crane is any crane that can drive down the road; boom truck, truck crane, all terrain crane, etc).

We have many consumers who implement a crane a couple of times annually or less which is perfectly okay. Sharp Cranes can help all year round.

In the taxi crane rental company we lift a myriad of different things for a broad variety of companies and individuals. It's what we do; we're here to make the procedure easy for you.

Firstly, we're always happy to take a look at your job at no charge. For many projects this is necessary, but for smaller and easier jobs the scope and crane size can often be figured out over the phone or by e-mail.

When you contact us to hire/rent a crane from us at Sharp Cranes there are a couple of basic things we have to know:.

1. What is the things (load) we're raising?

2. Exactly what is the total combined weight of the load to be raised?

3. What is the horizontal range or radius in feet from the center of the load to the center of the crane or edge of the crane? This radius must be measured in two directions; from center of crane to center of load when raising the load at first, as well as the radius for setting the load in its new position. (Depending upon the design and measurements of the crane setup location, these measurements could be affected by crane size.).

4. What are the conditions and dimensions of the crane setup area? This area should be relatively level, must be solid (no fill), and must be large enough for the crane.

5. Are there any wires or other obstructions overhead or in the vicinity that may interfere with the crane or load?

6. Will the load be lifted or put over top of an obstruction or back on the roofing of a structure? If so, we have to know the height of the obstruction/building, the range from the edge of the obstruction/building to the center of the load and the range from the edge of the obstruction/building to the center of the crane.

In the beginning glimpse it might seem like a lot of questions but it's really quite basic.

Again, we're right here to assist, from the dispatcher to the operator our goal is to make lifting easy.
