Macsalvors Crane Hire

Updated: Apr 19, 2024



Cranes are an absolute essential within many industries, helping out with a wide array of lifting, lowering and moving tasks. Most prominent within the construction sector, the expansive number of different crane types means that any task is catered for, be it the relocation of a heavy vessel, moving several smaller yet heavy objects, or accurately lowering a platform to ground-level.


Despite the universal appeal of these large machines, many outfits may be missing out by wrongly assuming the expense of acquiring a fleet. Read ahead and let Macsalvors (Plant Hire) Ltd take you through the absolute basics of crane hire - there could be savings to be made.

The Task At Hand

As alluded to, there are a particular group of tasks and applications that a crane is likely appropriate for, but the variance in hireable machines means that a large array of jobs can benefit from crane acquisition. For those smaller-scale tasks, a mobile crane will allow you to get much closer to objects than for example a large construction crane which will be set in place.


Why Hire?

Renting construction equipment is nothing new, allowing you to effectively dodge the costs of outright acquiring these notoriously expensive machines. Many organisations are turning to equipment hire as a cost-effective and all-round more beneficial alternative to permanent purchases, and there are plenty of positives besides the financial savings. When using our crane rental service, you won’t need to worry about repair work later down the line - because we will ensure our cranes are in a fantastic condition before supplying them to your site, servicing any unexpected issues on the job site so you can carry on the construction process without obstacles.


Still not convinced about hiring? We’re relied upon locally and nationally by plenty of recognisable firms, so you can relax in the knowledge that the assets you hire are properly maintained, tested and certified. We work to strict terms and conditions, providing peace of mind that our equipment is safe and properly approved. We ensure that it is safe to operate and is in proper functioning condition for your project. Regardless of the kind of crane, we carry out extensive inspection of the condition of our entire fleet ensuring tip top condition.

It should never be hard to find a quality company to meet your requirements. and armed with all the information you need, making an informed decision should be simple.
