Frequently Asked Questions About Crane Rentals

Choosing a crane for your construction project isn’t always easy — you need to consider factors like size, capacity and safety. Here are answers to common questions to help you decide.

What crane sizes are best for industrial construction projects?

The best crane sizes for industrial construction projects depend on the needs of the job, such as boom configuration, lift radius, site access, working cycle and ground conditions. Riggers Inc. offers hydraulic truck cranes suitable for jobs ranging from small to large.

Our Link-Belt 65 HT delivers smooth operation and can handle loads up to 65 tons, making it ideal for light, technical jobs. For jobs that require strength and maneuverability, the Grove TMS 9000-2 is ideal. It offers up to 175 tons of carry capacity with a six-section MEGAFORM boom that extends up to 169 ft.

What are the key safety considerations for crane operations?

The key safety considerations for cane operations include ground conditions, site planning, load charts, operator expertise, OSHA regulations, safety features, environmental factors, rigging, and equipment maintenance. These factors outline essential instructions for crane operation, adherence to OSHA regulations, and maximum lifting capacities, depending on the boom’s length and the angles at which it moves.

Riggers Inc. takes your safety into consideration. We recommend using our Crane Certified Operators (CCOs) to help provide safe and effective project execution. Our operators are experienced professionals among the best in the industry, setting the bar for safe, cost-conscious and reliable crane services. 

How do I choose the best crane rental for my construction project?

Choosing the best crane rental for your construction project involves considering the loads you’re moving, the space available to maneuver, site conditions and your overall costs. Start by defining your needs — what’s the heaviest and most frequently moved load, and how high are you lifting it? Then, evaluate your site to determine the terrain, site accessibility, obstructions and ground bearing capacity. Keep in mind that the ground needs to be able to support both the load you’re lifting and the crane, including any accessories.

Ensure you calculate the true load with a safety margin to account for unexpected issues. Another key factor is whether you need an operator with the crane or just the crane. Once you have these variables, Riggers Inc. can help recommend the best crane rental for your needs.

How do I calculate the crane capacity I need for my job?

To calculate the crane capacity you need for your job, you must consider more than just the load you’re lifting. Add the weight of the hook block and rigging accessories and your margin for error. Then, measure the lift height and the max radius for all the lift phases and consider the turning force the crane needs to resist. 

Once you have these values, you can compare them to the crane load charts to ensure a safe lifting capacity. Keep in mind that it decreases as the working radius and boom length increase.
