londoneye Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Could anyone please help me with some information on crane hire - rough cost to be expected per day -i am researching on internet too of course, but any personal experiences would be useful. Apart from cost, are there any other particular factors i should be taking into consideration when doing research please?the crane is for removing a-frames from a roof.

Wozza Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Crane costs vary according to the weight that they can lift. When I used to hire cranes in UK not so long ago, we used to guesstimate hire costs at £1per ton per hour. i.e. 50t crane is £50 per hour. The closer you can get the crane to the job, the smaller the crane required - a 100t crane can probably only lift 10t with its gib fully extended. If you have any underground pipes / cables etc, make sure crane feet are well padded before he starts lifting - driver should carry pads, but if you know of a hazard, tell them and they will bring larger pads to spread the weight more.However, I have no experience of crane hire in France! Hope this helps anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
