Cranes are used in lots of different industries – construction, engineering, transport etc. They have so many uses and if you are not already using them in your business, this could potentially represent a health and safety breach. This is because it is much safer for your employees to carry out lifting operations using a crane or a piece of lifting equipment, rather than doing it manually and risking hurting themselves.
There is a misconception that you need to have lots of space and an enormous site in order to make use of cranes. Portable cranes can be taken anywhere and jib cranes can be installed permanently in smaller, tighter spaces. You can also get mounted cranes that can be used on vehicles. This is perfect for transportation as materials can be safely loaded and unloaded from a van or lorry. Choosing a crane for your industry might just be easier than you think.
