Common questions

How much does mobile crane hire cost?

A small mobile crane typically costs £250–£500 per day, a medium one £400–£700 and a large one £800–£1,500. A full job typically costs £2,000–£3,500, depending on complexity and duration.

What costs come on top of the crane's day rate?

A trained operator typically adds £25–£50 per hour. Getting the crane to and from your site can add £100–£500, depending on distance.

How far ahead should I book crane hire?

Book at least 2 to 4 weeks before your project starts, especially in peak construction seasons. That leaves time for a site inspection and any permits or road closures.

Can I operate a mobile crane myself?

Not without proper training and certification. UK crane operators typically need a CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) card or equivalent, and hire companies usually provide certified operators.
