If you are looking for a cost-effective solution when renting a crane, consider Sheedy Crane. Due to the variability of each task, many construction companies choose not to buy their own cranes. Training crane operators, finding storage space for the cranes, and employing regular maintenance costs time and money. Due to this and a few other factors, sometimes it is in a contractor’s best interest to rent a crane, rather than buy a crane. If your considering renting a crane in the near future, there are a few determinants to consider.

1.    Experience of the Operator

An important aspect of crane rental is to ensure that the crane operators are properly screened and trained. All of our operators are NCCO certified and all of our cranes are maintained in our in-house maintenance shop. This can help you save on training costs and maintenance fees. All of our operators have a large amount of experience and can be included in the rental of our cranes. All of our drivers are well-versed in OSHA and NCCO regulatory guidelines.

2.    Type of crane required

At Sheedy Crane, we have an extensive list of cranes for any job type. We carry rough terrain, roof mounted, hydraulic truck, and all-terrain cranes.

Insurance is a necessary part of this business. In the case of an accident in the workplace, having a company that is insured and certified is a must. Regardless of who you choose for a crane rental, make sure to ask about the terms of their policy and what is covered.
