In a nutshell, the design of a city crane allows it to be more maneuverable in tight access areas while still being able to have significant reach and lifting capacity. This makes them one of the most widely used cranes in urban environments
Crane Kingz are a premium service provider of mobile crane hire in Sydney and our 20T mobile city crane is perfect for all the material handling tasks we will talk about in this article.
Cranes come in all different shapes and sizes and are used continuously in industries of all kinds. Put simply, if men cannot lift it then a crane of some description is a requirement to get the job done.
Lets discuss some of the benefits of hiring a city crane
Cost Effective
In many instances, a jobsite may require a crane for unloading or positioning that may only take a matter of minutes to hours or the whole day. This is where the real financial benefit of a hiring a mobile city crane comes in as hiring a crane for a day is cheaper than having to setup a stationary crane for longer periods and only using it occasionally.
When a city crane gets hired, an operator and dogman is supplied with the hire, which saves the job site the cost of hiring full-time qualified staff on their team to operate a crane.
Superior Access
Hell yeah, that’s what mobile city cranes are all about … getting into tight spaces and getting the job done.
If you take for example our 20T Tadano city crane, it has a swing radius of around 6 metres which allows us to get into urban alleyways and other tight access spaces. Most city cranes to also handle rough terrain, having large all terrain tyres and all wheel drive configurations.
Mobility
Having wheels and a drivers seat means that a city crane can get to your job site faster in many cases than having to load the crane on a float and truck it to your location.
This also saves the extra cost of loading and unloading time and paying the truck driver.
Safe and Efficient
When we talk about heavy lifting and material handling tasks there is always inherent risk which can only be mitigated by appropriately trained operator.
When you hire a city crane the operators come as part of the deal so you can lean on their experience to ensure a safe lift.
The experience of the operators not only ensures a safe lift, but their ability to see the process and plan a safe lift sequence can be a huge timesaver as well
Before you hire a city crane consider this..
