Cranes are among the most adaptable and valuable pieces of heavy equipment. Cranes are one of the industry’s backbones, utilized for everything from construction support to air conditioning installation to dredging the channels that lead into Lake Michigan. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with models to suit any job that we throw at them. We offer crane services to West Michigan contractors. Our team offers crane services for West Michigan but we also offer dredging services, seawall installation, excavation services, pile driving, dock installation, and more. Our cranes and all of our equipment are very well maintained to allow us to provide superior service to all of West Michigan.
It may be tempting for some firms to simply purchase a crane, but this is rarely the best option unless you are a very large committed construction contractor. Otherwise, employing a crane rental company to do the heavy lifting is the best choice.
When You Need A Crane, Here Are Some Good Reasons to Hire Crane Rental Companies
Cranes are expensive. While it is every man’s dream to own a crane, it simply isn’t justifiable for many businesses. Crane maintenance can be costly. But, you also need to consider the logistic of it.
Simply said, unless you are consistently operating an owned crane all year, it is unlikely that you would ever see a positive ROI on the investment. Crane prices begin in the six figures and soon rise into the millions. Furthermore, they must be licensed, insured, and maintained, and you must pair them with competent operators who must also be licensed and insured.
Hiring a rental crane makes significantly more economical sense in almost any case, whether short-term or long-term.
Don’t be concerned about the logistics.
Transporting a crane to its intended job site is frequently a logistical nightmare for those that aren’t prepared. This is especially true for larger cranes that are excessive loads on the highway. When you hire a crane rental company, we handle all of the logistics for you. The crane just arrives at your location when you need it.
Trained Operators
For whatever reasons people don’t tend to think about the operator. You cannot just go out and buy a crane, even if you do have the money, and start operating it. You need trained and licensed operators. Cranes are very destructive pieces of equipment when they are not operated properly. When you rent a crane from Viking Marine Construction, it will come with an operator. This operator will understand the ins and outs of any construction job that would need a crane. We offer land clearing services, dig basements, help with road maintenance as well as offer our marine construction services to municipalities, businesses, and personal needs as well.
Your crane rental firm not only provides the machine, but also the operators and riggers who know how to use it safely. These are special abilities that you may not have on staff but are critical in ensuring a safe workplace.
