Best Crane Selection Guide – How to Choose the Right Crane

7 Things You Should Consider in Crane Selection Guide

1. Capacity

The capacity of the crane selected by you will depend on the weight that the crane needs to lift. It is generally better to select a crane capacity which is slightly higher than your maximum requirement.

2. Lifting Height

The lifting height of the crane will depend on the dimensions of your building as well the height to which the load will be lifted. Our expert design team can study your drawings and recommend the right lifting height of the crane you choose.

3. Span

The span will depend on the area you want the crane to cover to transport the load as well as the building dimensions where the crane will be installed.

4. Travelling Length

The travelling length is determined by the building dimensions and the electrical points available for the crane.

5. Application

Environmental Factors determine the type of crane that needs to be selected. For example, if the crane is being used in a highly corrosive (hazardous) area, then we generally recommend a flame proof crane.

6. Usage

How often the crane is used will determine the class of the crane. For example, if the crane will be used the whole day, then we recommend selecting a class IV crane.

7. Budget

The above points determine the basic specifications of the crane selection guide. Every crane will come with the basic safety measures. However, there are various accessories that can be added on to a crane for ease of use, extra safety etc. What one wants to add to the basic crane depends on the budget available.
