We offer two rental options: crane rental alone or our complete contract lifting service. When opting for crane rental only, you’ll receive a high-quality crane along with a CPCS-certified operator. However, you will be responsible for the entire lifting process, including the planning and execution. As a crane rental client, you are responsible for ensuring safety protocols, managing ground conditions, and securing insurance. To understand the differences between crane rental only and our contract lifting service, check out our straightforward guide.
