Mini Crane Hire for Construction & Building Projects

Our specialised mini crane, the ilift, is a highly valuable asset for builders and construction companies due to its ability to lift and carry heavy loads of over one-ton, whilst managing to operate smoothly and safely in small spaces.

If you are struggling to get materials or equipment to a hard-to-reach spot, or your construction project is confined to a tight site area, the ilift is the perfect solution for you.

What is more, our mini crane is ideal for a wide range of projects, from small residential builds to large-scale commercial developments. It can be used for a wide range of construction and building tasks, including moving materials, lifting heavy equipment, and placing pre-fabricated components.

What benefits does mini crane hire provide construction companies?

One of the key advantages of using the ilift in construction and building contexts is its versatility. With a variety of attachments and special equipment available, the ilift can be adapted to meet the specific needs of a construction project. This can include slinging loads, using a fly jib or hoist rope, and utilising a special boom crane to reach tight spaces.

Another advantage of the ilift is its compact size and ability to navigate restricted access sites, making it a great choice for projects that take place in tight or congested spaces. With its size of only 1 metre wide, it can easily access and maneuver in tight spaces, which can be particularly useful in urban areas or when working on renovations.

Additionally, the tracked base of the ilift ensures excellent stability and minimum ground damage. It offers a reliable equipment for any project, and its quality build and safety features provide confidence for builders and construction teams during working operations. Overall, the ilift is the ideal tool for transporting heavy loads and equipment on all types of construction sites, both large and small.

All of these advantages illustrate why mini crane hire is a valuable service for builders or contractors looking to maximise safety and efficiency on site.
