Preparing a crane rental enquiry

From load details to site access

Start with the load

Describe the item, its dimensions and its known weight. Where more than one item must be moved, list them separately and indicate the sequence. A drawing or supplier data sheet can give the rental team a clearer reference.

Describe both ends of the move

Mark the pickup and placement points on a sketch. Explain how a vehicle reaches the site and where the work takes place relative to gates, buildings and other activities.

Give the team a schedule

Include the site location, proposed date and delivery window. Identify the person who can answer follow-up questions. Equipment selection and the lifting plan need a project-specific technical review.
