What Crane Do You Need?
Every lifting project is different, so choosing the right crane depends on the load weight, lifting height, working radius, ground conditions, and available access. Matching the crane to your site helps improve efficiency and supports a safe lifting operation.
Spider cranes are ideal for restricted access and indoor lifting, while pick and carry cranes suit projects where loads need to be moved across site. Rough terrain and crawler cranes perform well on soft or uneven ground, with mini cranes providing a compact solution where space is limited.
Tell us about your project and we’ll recommend the most suitable crane before your hire begins.

Frequently Asked Questions: Crane Hire in Crowborough, East Sussex
Do I need a lift plan for a small lifting project?
Yes. Every lifting operation should be properly planned regardless of its size. Lift planning helps identify risks, confirm the correct crane selection, and support a safe lifting operation.
Can a crane access restricted or sloping sites?
In many cases, yes. The most suitable crane depends on your site access, ground conditions, lifting requirements, and available working space. We’ll recommend the best machine for your project before delivery.
What's the difference between operated and non-operated crane hire?
Operated hire includes a CPCS-certified operator who carries out the lifting operation. Non-operated hire supplies the crane only, with your own qualified operator responsible for operating the machine and preparing the required documentation.
How do I know which crane I need for my project?
The right crane depends on the load being lifted, the required lifting height and radius, site access, available working space and the conditions where the crane will be positioned. These factors determine the crane type and capacity needed for the lift.
Give our Crowborough team details of the load, lifting position and site conditions and we can help recommend the most suitable crane for your project.
The British Standards Institution (BSI) publishes BS 7121, the UK code of practice for the safe use of cranes, which includes guidance on crane selection and the planning of lifting operations.
