How Mini Cranes Assist with Utility Installation and Maintenance Projects
At Preston Hire, we’re proud of the flexibility our specialised heavy equipment fleet offers and the variety of industries we service. Our mini cranes, for instance, are compact powerhouses capable of carrying out a wide range of applications. Their versatility, precision, and significant load capacities have long made them the perfect choice for utility installation and maintenance projects. With their ability to perform heavy lifts in limited working areas, Preston Hire’s mini cranes make short work of tasks like maintenance on power lines or telecom towers.
Allow us to share how mini cranes benefit the electrical and telecommunications industries.
Electrical industry
Increased efficiency, better access, and improved safety are among the benefits gained when hiring a compact crane for power line or power station work. While power line maintenance is critical to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity, it can be a dangerous and difficult endeavour to position staff and materials close enough for work to be undertaken. Our small cranes have been designed with safety first in mind and come equipped with a range of features to help safeguard workers. Overload protection, anti-tipping mechanisms, and automatic shutdown systems are among the exemplary safety technologies built into our machines.
Likewise, the safety features of our fleet can help reduce the risk of accidents on power station and substations installation or repair projects. At these sites, where power lines can be all over the place, the computerized working range restriction feature of our mini cranes prevents booms from connecting with power lines. Coupled with their exceptional precision and manoeuvrability, the risk of accidents is greatly reduced on site. And with loading capacities up to an impressive 8090kg, you can be sure that Preston Hire has a mini crane perfectly suited to your needs.
Telecommunications industry
From television broadcasting to Wi-Fi and 5G, telecom infrastructure like cellular towers and antennas are essential in our modern world. However, communication towers are often built in enclosures with limited space, presenting a challenge to installation and maintenance works. Our highly manoeuvrable and compact mini cranes can easily navigate narrow cellular site locations when new equipment installation or maintenance works need to be undertaken. Our small cranes are perfectly suited to setting tower sections, control buildings, and antenna equipment. We recognise that telecom providers often need a crane at multiple sites within a short period of time. You can count on us to provide tailor-made solutions for all your material handling and lifting requirements for the telecommunications industry.
