Contract Lift vs. Crane Hire: Choosing the Right Option
Contract Lift vs. Crane Hire: Choosing the Right Option
When planning a lifting operation one of the initial considerations is often whether to proceed with a standard crane hire or a fully managed contract lift service. At Kevin Keogh Crane Services, we provide both solutions and help clients across Ireland choose the most suitable and cost-effective option for their project.
Let’s break down the difference between the two and help you decide which is better for your project.
What Is a Standard Crane Hire?
A standard crane hire is the more straightforward option available, you hire the crane, and you take responsibility for the operation. With a large fleet of cranes available, our crane hire service provides flexibility and potential cost savings for organisations equipped to oversee the lift operation.
Crane Hire is Best for:
Contractors with in-house lifting expertise
Projects with routines and well understood lifting needs.
Budget conscious clients who need to keep in line with their budget.
Standard crane hire presents a lower cost and it can be a better option if you have the expertise to manage the lift. It's important to remember that you will have full liability for vehicle and lifting operations.
At Kevin Keogh Crane, we offer an updated fleet of crane hire in Ireland. Discover our wide range of crane hires or contact us for free expert advice now.
What Is a Contract Lift?
