Hydraulic Cranes

Hydraulic cranes use a simple design to provide tons of power

Hydraulic cranes are just one type of hydraulic equipment that uses fluid to provide pressure measured in pounds per square inch, or psi. All hydraulic equipment uses an incompressible fluid, such as oil, allowing for a great amount of pressure and a quick release of pressure when the equipment is turned off.

Hydraulic crane manufacturers offer heavy-duty and light equipment for all types of industries and for all kinds of tasks, from moving multiton bridge beams on highway job sites to lifting killer whales out of water tanks for relocation from one zoo to another. When shopping around for industrial hydraulic cranes, be sure to select the right hydraulic crane to perform the job required at the specifications you have determined. Consider the following:

1. Weigh the benefits of buying a new hydraulic crane.

2. Consider buying a used hydraulic crane.

3. Check out rental options for hydraulic cranes.

 

Purchase new hydraulic cranes

Over the years, the performance, sophistication and operating pressures of hydraulic cranes has steadily risen, causing older models to become obsolete or, at the very least, comparatively frustrating to use. Keep your equipment - and your business - popping on all cylinders by purchasing new hydraulic cranes from leading distributors.
Try: Air Technical Industries offers a wide range of hydraulic cranes to choose from, including floor cranes, truck-mounted cranes and more. Request a quote from the company or get a free catalog. For smaller hydraulic cranes, check out A-Z Factory Supply.

Buy a used hydraulic crane

Save money by considering used hydraulic cranes from trusted dealers or individuals. You can often find great deals on hardly used heavy equipment.
Try: Tanner Equipment Co. and Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. are good places to find a good deal on used hydraulic cranes for sale. The Crane Hot Line message board works in the reverse of most classifieds: you can post a message detailing what type of hydraulic crane you’re looking for, and those with a match will contact you.

Rent hydraulic cranes

If hydraulic crane prices just don't fit in the budget right now, explore the many rental options available. Renting is also a great way for your employees to try out a variety of equipment to see what they like before the company invests in a new hydraulic crane.
Try: AmQuip offers rentals on various heavy duty hydraulic crane types, including hydraulic truck cranes, mobile tower cranes, hi-rail cranes and hydraulic floor cranes. Check out Maxim Crane Works for even more rental options on commercial hydraulic cranes.

 

• Be sure to stay on top of hydraulic crane maintenance and repair - it just might save you a ton of time and money down the line.
