Mobile Crane Hire Rates and Quote Guide

What determines your mobile crane hire quote?

Our mobile crane hire range is 8–500 tons, with equipment suitability and availability confirmed for each job. Request a quote for your site, lifting requirements and expected hire duration.

Crane selection needs more than the load weight. Send the dimensions, required placement location and site access details so our team can assess the lifting arrangement.

The prices below are estimates, not fixed quotes. The final price depends on travel distance, the scope of work, hire duration and site requirements. Send your job details so we can confirm the applicable charges in a written quote before booking.

  • Crane suitability for the load and placement requirements.
  • Site location and access arrangements.
  • Expected hire duration and number of lifts.
  • Additional loading, transport or rigging services.

For service information, see our mobile crane hire page. Include any machine moving or rigging requirements in your enquiry.

If you need a truck to carry cargo as well as a crane to load or unload it, compare our crane trucks and truck hire rates. A crane truck and a mobile crane serve different job requirements.

Answers to help you plan

Mobile crane hire cost questions

How much does it cost to hire a mobile crane for a day?

A mobile crane quote depends on the crane required, travel, setup, lifting time and job scope. The published information is a starting point; send the load weight, lift location and placement details for a written quote that identifies the included work.

Is hiring the smallest crane always the cheapest option?

The suitable crane is determined by the lift and site, not just its nominal capacity or advertised rate. Reach, setup space and access can change what equipment is required. An unsuitable crane can leave a job unable to proceed, so suitability should be established before comparing prices.

What costs should I check when comparing crane hire quotes?

Compare the scope as well as the price: travel, setup, time allowed, crew, rigging, permits where applicable and any waiting or additional-time terms. Ask each provider to state inclusions clearly. Two quotes for different scopes are not a like-for-like comparison.

Does a bigger crane rating mean it can lift that weight anywhere?

No. A crane's maximum rating does not apply at every radius, boom configuration or site setup. The actual lift must be checked against the appropriate equipment information and conditions. Send the pickup and landing positions as well as the load weight when requesting a quote.

Can I use the online crane calculator as a confirmed lifting plan?

Use the calculator only as an enquiry aid. It does not replace equipment selection and assessment of the actual load, configuration and site. Ask our team to confirm suitability and the quote before you book equipment or arrange the lift.

How can I help you prepare an accurate mobile crane quote?

Provide reliable load weight and dimensions, lifting-point details if known, site address, photos, pickup and landing positions, access and preferred working window. Flag missing information early so the team can identify what is still needed before confirming the job.
