What is the right crane for my project?
Unlike most construction equipment that utilize movement for tasks like digging or bulldozing, cranes excel in pure lifting and precise placement. Their fixed or rotating booms act as strong arms, offering exceptional stability and exceptional lifting capacity to handle massive building materials, machinery, or prefabricated elements with pinpoint accuracy, making them irreplaceable giants on any construction site.
rentmas offers a selection of fast-erecting and top-slewing cranes, which together make up the family of tower cranes, as well as mobile and truck-mounted cranes catering to various project needs. Browse through a range of lifting capacities, boom reaches, and jib attachments to find the right crane to handle what you need for your project, from light to heavy loads and with precise placement or extensive reach on your construction site. From fast-erecting cranes to top-slewing cranes, mobile cranes to crane trucks, and industrial mobile cranes to mini crawler cranes, rentmas guarantees to find the best machine closest to your project site.
Fast-erecting cranes (a type of tower crane)
- Some typical applications: building construction (especially early stages), precast concrete panel erection, steel erection, HVAC unit installation
- Ideal areas of use: construction sites, especially those that are confined or in initial or developing stages of construction
- What's unique: fast assembly and disassembly – perfect for quickly adapting to changing needs in the early stages of construction on confined sites. Lower lifting capacity than other crane types
- Not suitable for: large-scale projects with large lifting capacity requirements, long-term projects, open areas where frequent relocation is necessary
Top-slewing cranes (a type of tower crane)
- Some typical applications: high-rise building construction, large-scale industrial projects, stadium and bridge construction
- Ideal areas of use: open construction sites for high-rise buildings, massive industrial projects, and large structures like stadiums and bridges
- What’s unique: unrivaled reach and lifting capacity, making them perfect for high-rise buildings and massive projects
- Not suitable for: confined spaces, sites that need constant repositioning, relocating projects, smaller lifting tasks
Mobile cranes
- Some typical applications: general construction projects, bridge construction, loading and unloading of heavy machinery, wind turbine maintenance
- Ideal areas of use: general construction sites, bridge construction zones, open fields for wind turbine maintenance, and spacious industrial facilities
- What’s unique: these cranes come in a wide range of sizes and capacities, making them adaptable to various construction projects. They can easily travel between job sites
- Not suitable for: areas with a considerable number of obstacles, projects where the mobile crane is required to travel a long distance, frequent relocation tasks
Crane trucks
- Some typical applications: construction projects requiring frequent relocation, smaller lifting tasks compared to mobile cranes, delivering and setting prefabricated structures
- Ideal areas of use: areas with limited space for larger cranes – think road construction zones or smaller building sites
- What’s unique: combine the mobility of a truck with the lifting capabilities of a crane. Ideal for projects requiring frequent relocation
- Not suitable for: heavy lifting, projects that require long reaching, off-road conditions
Industrial mobile cranes
- Some typical applications: heavy lifting tasks within factories and industrial facilities, machine installation and maintenance, loading and unloading cargo ships
- Ideal areas of use: industrial buildings, factories, and warehouses
- What’s unique: Designed for heavy lifting within factories and industrial facilities. Their power and stability ensure safe handling of massive objects indoors
- Not suitable for: outdoor lifting, long-distance travel, extreme lifting heights

Mini crawler cranes
- Some typical applications: construction in confined spaces (indoor or outdoor), landscaping projects with uneven terrain, lifting delicate materials requiring precise placement
- Ideal areas of use: basement construction, landscaping projects on uneven terrain, or delicate restoration work
- What’s unique: Compact size compared to other cranes combined with tracks allows them to navigate uneven terrain and maneuver in confined spaces (indoors or outdoors) unreachable with other cranes
- Not suitable for: heavy lifting, long reaches, high-rise construction
