Selecting the Right Mobile Crane for Your Project

Choosing the appropriate mobile crane involves careful consideration of multiple factors that will impact both project success and safety. At Parker's Crane Service, our experienced team helps clients navigate these decisions to ensure optimal equipment selection. Our blog on the Five Types of Cranes for Construction goes into more depth on the subject. 

Critical Selection Factors

Load Requirements: The weight and dimensions of materials being lifted represent the primary selection criteria. Consider both the maximum load weight and the radius at which lifting operations will occur, as crane capacity decreases with increased boom extension and reach.

Site Conditions: Ground conditions significantly impact crane selection and setup requirements. Soft soil, slopes, and confined spaces all influence which crane types can operate safely and effectively. Our team conducts thorough site evaluations to identify potential challenges and recommend appropriate solutions.

Access Requirements: Consider how the crane will reach the job site and position for operations. Some locations may require compact cranes that can navigate tight spaces, while others may benefit from larger cranes with extended reach capabilities.

Project Duration: Short-term projects often benefit from quick-setup truck cranes, while longer-duration projects might justify the enhanced capabilities of all-terrain or specialized equipment.
