Construction runs on lifting — steel erection, precast setting, formwork, rebar, mechanical and roof-top placement all depend on the right crane arriving at the right hour. Kranes supplies mobile, tower, crawler and boom-truck cranes to general contractors and trades, operated or bare, sized to the heaviest pick at radius and the realities of a live site. Tell us the lift schedule and the access, and we quote the crane, rigging and certified operation to keep the build moving.
A construction project is really a sequence of lifts, and each phase calls for a different crane. Foundations and early structure suit a rough-terrain or all-terrain crane that moves on raw ground; steel erection and precast setting lean on mobile and crawler cranes sized to the heaviest pick at radius; a tall or long-duration build is planned around a tower crane that holds hook height for months. Boom trucks handle the steady stream of medium picks — rooftop units, material loads and trade deliveries — between the big lifts.
Construction crane rental works because the fleet flexes to the schedule instead of forcing the schedule to a single machine. Kranes puts mobile, tower, crawler and boom-truck cranes on site, operated or bare, and swaps classes as the build moves from groundworks to structure to finishing. General contractors and trades get one supplier for the whole project, which keeps coordination, billing and certification under a single point of contact rather than chasing several rental desks.
Every quote starts from the lift, not a catalogue. Tell Kranes the heaviest pick and its radius, the lift height, the access and the dates, and we return the right capacity class, the rigging and the certified operation to match a live, congested site. Mobilisation, ground protection and permit support are coordinated so the crane arrives ready to work on the day the schedule needs it, for a single pick, a phase or the full build.
On a construction site the safety case carries the project, so every machine and operator is certified and documented to CSA and provincial standards. Kranes keeps service and parts behind the fleet through the rental, so a breakdown does not become a stalled trade and a missed pour. Share the lift schedule and the site constraints, and we quote the crane, rigging and crew to keep steel rising and concrete moving across Canada.
