What Is a Mini Crane and When Should You Hire One?

Key considerations

  • access width and setup area
  • ground surface and load path
  • approximate weight, lift height and reach
  • indoor or outdoor conditions
  • dry hire requirements and operator suitability
  • site photos and overhead restrictions
