mini crane hire - Lift Group Heavy Equipment Rentals

At Lift Group - Heavy Equipment Rental Company, our mini crane hire service is designed for projects that need powerful lifting in tight or sensitive spaces. Whether you work in construction, glazing, MEP, or maintenance, a mini crane can save time and reduce risk when access is limited.

Why choose mini crane hire?

Mini cranes deliver big advantages when full-size cranes are impractical:

• Access: operate in narrow alleys, indoor sites, rooftops and stairwells.
• Precision: accurate positioning for delicate loads like glass and HVAC units.
• Lower setup time: faster mobilization and less ground preparation.
• Reduced cost: lower rental and transport costs compared with large cranes.

Services offered by Lift Group

Equipment and attachments

We supply a range of compact cranes and accessories to match job requirements:

• Electric and diesel mini cranes
• Spider cranes for uneven or soft ground
• Vacuum lifters and spreader beams
• Telehandlers and man-lifts for combined tasks

Skilled operators and compliance

All hires include trained operators, full safety checks, and compliance documentation to help meet site regulations and insurance requirements.

How to plan your mini crane hire

1. Assess the site: measure access points, clearances, floor strength and overhead obstacles.
2. Define the lift: load weight, dimensions, and lift radius determine the right model.
3. Schedule logistics: confirm delivery, setup time, and operator availability.
4. Check permits and safety: arrange any required permits and a method statement if needed.

Practical tips

• Provide accurate photos and site plans when requesting a quote—this speeds selection and avoids surprises.
• Consider electric mini cranes for indoor work to reduce fumes and noise.
• Ensure a small clear area for stabilizers; plywood or crane mats can protect finished floors.
• Book operators for a full day if lifts are complex; partial-day bookings can increase costs.
