Crane size alone does not tell you what can be lifted at your site. Ask the operator to match the load and required reach to a suitable vehicle.
For materials delivered to a Canterbury building project, ask about the complete order and intended unloading point. A suitable Hiab can deliver materials and lift them off the vehicle in the same visit. This is useful where the destination has no forklift, or where materials need placing within the crane’s reach rather than simply arriving at the gate.
Include individual weights, the longest dimensions and any required unloading sequence. Explain whether the supplier loads the vehicle or whether crane assistance is required at collection too. The operator can then assess the truck and crane for the whole job.
For equipment moving from a Canterbury workshop or commercial premises, provide a list of the machine, attachments and loose components. A Hiab may combine crane loading with road transport where the item and working position are suitable. If the machine is still installed, establish who will prepare it for collection before booking.
Give transport dimensions that include any base or frame, alongside reliable weight information. Tell the operator if a separate machinery team is involved at the delivery address so the boundary between delivery and further handling is clear.
Storage containers, portable offices and generators may need delivering to premises in Canterbury or collecting when a project finishes. A quotation can cover a one-way move or delivery and return, provided the two requirements are described separately. Say whether the return date is fixed or still estimated.
For a container, specify its length, weight and contents. For a cabin or generator, include accessories and fitted equipment in the description. Photos of the item and final placement help the provider assess the lifting distance rather than choosing a crane from the load weight alone.
