Mobile Cranes

Get the right mobile crane for your delivery or construction fleet
By Christine Emmick Mobile cranes no doubt add to the construction and delivery options you can provide to your customers. Whether you want to add to your company's delivery capabilities with one of the many configurations of heavy duty mobile cranes, or expand your installation capabilities by getting an industrial mobile crane, you provide better, more comprehensive service to your customers.

When you look for mobile cranes for sale, you not only want to look for quality and functionality, you also want to choose the right acquisition method and financing options so your company's expenditures keep in check. Here are some acquisition options available:

1. Purchase new mobile cranes: This allows you to own the equipment, but you also must pay for all maintenance costs.
2. Purchase used mobile cranes: This allows you to cut some initial overhead costs, but be sure you have cash reserve for larger repair bills.
3. Lease mobile cranes: This allows for low steady overhead costs, but you build no equity in the equipment.
   

Find the best mobile crane prices when you buy new mobile cranes

No matter if you are looking for truck cranes small enough to make neighborhood rooftop deliveries, or mobile container cranes to move dockside freight, you want the most reliable equipment for the best price. New crane dealers also want you to get years of great service from their product, and often include incentives to help you in your purchasing decision.
Try:  Champion Crane & Tractor and Bigge Equipment are two excellent sources for your new mobile and truck crane needs. They have strong customer service and a sales staff ready to meet your company's specific needs.

Locate the best selection of used mobile crane sales

When you buy used, you want mobile cranes with low hours that were well maintained. To find this selection, you need to look at trusted mobile crane sales or find listings of individual sellers you can trust.
Try:  Machinery Trader offers excellent descriptions and sales information to potential buyers of their listings. EC21 has a communication link directly on their listings so you can contact their listing providers quickly and easily.

Determine when to rent or lease your mobile crane

Many crane dealers also have renting and leasing options available, or you could select a business lease financing company to address your needs. When your company is not equipped to handle mechanical failure or general maintenance of your mobile crane equipment, renting or leasing may be your best option.
Try:  Harbour Capital Corporation specializes in financing your next business purchase. They have an easy online application and lease any equipment used for business. For short term use, finding a mobile crane to rent at RentalSite is the best option. You may want to rent a few different mobile cranes first to determine the best investment to make in a purchase situation.

• Develop a personal relationship with your mobile crane sales staff and be sure to let them know what additions you may consider adding to your fleet in the future. If a problem arises with your equipment, the sales staff that knows you is more likely to put your needs first.
