Rent a crane directly from Thanet Crane Hire in Chelmsford, Essex.
We offer two rental options: crane rental only or our full contract lifting service.
With crane rental only, you’ll have access to a top-quality crane and a CPCS-certified operator. However, you will be responsible for managing the entire lifting process, including planning and execution.
As a crane rental client, you’re accountable for all safety procedures, managing ground conditions, and organising your own insurance.
To learn more about the differences between crane rental only and our contract lifting service, please refer to our simple guide.
