Crane Rental FAQs
Common questions about hiring a crane in India.
What is the cost of crane on rent per day in India?
Crane rental cost depends on crane type and lifting capacity. Hydra crane (5–8 ton pick-and-carry) starts from ₹8,000/day. Mobile crane (30–50 ton) starts from ₹18,000/day. Tower crane (for high-rise construction) starts from ₹25,000/day. Crawler cranes for heavy industrial lifting start from ₹35,000/day. Rates vary by city and project duration.
What is the difference between a hydra crane and a mobile crane?
A hydra crane is a pick-and-carry crane — it can lift and move a load while travelling, ideal for steel erection, beam placement, and pre-cast concrete installation on tight sites. A mobile crane (truck-mounted) has higher lifting capacity (30–500 ton) but cannot travel with load. Use hydra for intra-site material movement; use mobile crane for heavy single lifts.
Is a certified crane operator included in the rental?
Yes. All crane rentals on TransRentals include a certified, experienced crane operator who holds the relevant PESO or factory inspector competency certificate. The operator manages all rigging, load calculations, and safe lift execution. You must provide clear site access and an appropriate lift area.
Does crane rental include rigging equipment?
Basic rigging equipment (wire rope slings, shackles, and hook block) is typically included. For specialized lifts requiring beam spreader bars, chain slings, or load cells, confirm at the time of booking. Always share the lift drawing or load details with the vendor before deployment.
What permits are required for crane operation on public roads?
For cranes operating on public roads or ROW, an over-dimensional cargo (ODC) permit from the state transport authority is required. Escorts and pilot vehicles may be mandated. For cranes operating entirely within private project sites, no road permit is required. TransRentals vendors assist with documentation requirements.
Which crane type is best for high-rise construction?
Tower cranes are the standard for high-rise construction (10+ floors). They are mounted on a fixed base and can climb with the structure. For floors 1–5 and pre-fab element placement, a mobile crane (30–50 ton) is more flexible. For steel structure fabrication yards, a hydra crane is most practical for beam-by-beam placement.
What is the minimum rental period for a crane?
The standard minimum rental is 1 working day (8 hours). Multi-day projects get 5–10% discount on weekly bookings and 15–20% on monthly contracts. Idle standby days (crane on-site but not working) are typically billed at 50–60% of the operating day rate. Confirm standby billing with your vendor at the time of quotation.
How far in advance should I book a crane for a construction project?
For standard hydra and mobile crane bookings, 3–5 days in advance is sufficient. For tower cranes (requiring foundation bolt installation), book 2–3 weeks ahead. During peak construction season (October–February) in Tier-1 cities, large cranes book out fast — plan 1–2 weeks ahead. Emergency crane deployments are available in select cities with 24–48 hours notice.
