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.
Building and refurbishment deliveries
For a Torquay refurbishment or building delivery, ask about collecting materials and crane unloading at the project as one service. 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.
Describe the delivery location in full, whether it is near the harbour, in Babbacombe or around the town's outer neighbourhoods. If the materials are being collected from several suppliers, make that part of the enquiry. It allows the transport company to consider the whole job when discussing a vehicle and price.
Equipment for Torquay businesses
Torquay's Lymington Road and Edginswell business locations provide examples of where commercial equipment may need collecting or delivering. For a workshop machine or packaged plant item, include its weight, dimensions and photographs. State whether the equipment will be ready for lifting outside or whether preparation must happen first.
Generators and temporary equipment can require delivery followed by collection after use. If you know both dates, ask for both movements together. Confirm whether installation, connection or movement inside a building is needed separately; road transport and crane unloading should have a clear finishing point.
Marine loads and container moves
For equipment going to a Torquay marine business, describe the item rather than asking generally for a boat lift. An engine on a frame, a crated component and a complete boat have very different transport requirements. A boat enquiry needs the hull dimensions, weight and suitable support arrangements for the operator to check.
Storage containers and portable cabins are another potential Hiab load. Give the unit's size and contents, and show its destination position. Tell the provider if the crane needs reaching further into a yard rather than unloading alongside the vehicle, as that changes the lifting requirement.
