Lift Minicranes has a massive choice of electric and battery powered cranes available to hire.

Our equipment includes mini, crawler and floor cranes, all of which provide different benefits. Let’s explore the key benefits of hiring these types of cranes and why Lift Minicranes is a reputable choice for crane hire.

When it comes to selecting the right crane for your project, it’s crucial to consider a number of factors, including:

• The specific tasks at hand
• The environment
• The unique advantages each crane type offers

Mini cranes: a compact and affordable solution.

Mini cranes are increasingly popular in the construction and logistics sectors due to their small size, impressive manoeuvrability and versatility. They are often used for working in tight spaces where larger cranes are impractical or impossible to deploy.

Key benefits of these types of cranes include:

• A compact design. Mini cranes are ideal for operating in confined spaces like indoor spaces, courtyards or construction sites in a city like London. Their compact size allows them to fit through narrow passages or even doorways.
• Mini cranes are incredibly versatile. They are capable of handling a variety of jobs, from lifting heavy materials in construction to installing glass or other materials in tight spots. Their versatility makes them an excellent choice for industries ranging from construction to manufacturing.
• A high lifting capacity. Despite their small size, mini cranes can handle substantial loads, often lifting weights of up to several tonnes. This capability makes them ideal for tasks that require strength in small spaces.

We offer both electric and battery powered options.

These are ideal for indoor environments where exhaust fumes from petrol or diesel engines would be harmful or prohibited. These options are also quieter and more environmentally friendly.

Crawler cranes: Ideal for challenging terrains.

Crawler cranes are heavy-duty machines equipped with tracks (similar to those found on tanks), which give them exceptional stability and mobility, even on uneven or rough terrain. These cranes are typically larger than mini cranes and are suited for more demanding tasks on construction sites.

Benefits of crawler cranes include:

• Excellent mobility on tricky terrains. Crawler cranes are perfect for working on uneven or rough ground. The tracks give them better balance and traction than wheeled cranes, making them ideal for jobs in challenging environments such as muddy, sandy, or rocky construction sites.
• A high lifting capacity. Crawler cranes are capable of lifting very heavy loads, often ranging from 50 to 300 tonnes or more, depending on the model. This makes them indispensable for large construction projects, such as building bridges, skyscrapers, or industrial structures.
• They’re suitable for all weathers and conditions. The robust nature of crawler cranes allows them to operate in a variety of weather conditions, whether it’s rain, snow, or extreme heat. This flexibility makes them a reliable choice for long - term projects, where consistency and stability are key.

Floor cranes ideal for indoor tasks.

Floor cranes, often referred to as workshop cranes, are lightweight and designed for indoor use. They are commonly used in warehouses, workshops, and small construction projects where precision and ease of movement are more important than lifting capacity.
