Hydra on Rent
8T to 14T | Operator Included

Hydra crane rental rates depend on tonnage capacity. 8-ton hydra: ₹6,000/day. 10-ton hydra: ₹7,500/day. 12-ton hydra: ₹9,000/day. 14-ton hydra: ₹10,500/day. Rates include the certified operator but typically exclude diesel fuel (charged at actuals). Rates may vary by city and vendor availability.

A hydra crane (pick & carry crane) is self-propelled on rubber tyres and can move across a site while carrying a load — making it ideal for within-site material movement. A mobile crane has a longer boom and higher lifting capacity, but requires full outrigger setup and cannot travel while lifting. For construction sites and factory yards, a hydra is faster to deploy and more versatile for day-to-day lifting tasks.

Hydra cranes are available in 8-ton, 10-ton, 12-ton, and 14-ton capacities in India. The lifting capacity is at minimum radius (close to the machine). At extended boom radius, lifting capacity reduces significantly — always consult the rated capacity chart provided by the operator. For lifts above 14 tons or at greater height, a mobile crane or tower crane is required.

Yes, all hydra crane rentals on TransRentals include a certified and experienced operator. The operator is responsible for safe rigging, load assessment, and machine operation. You must provide clear site access, a level working surface, and details of the load weight and lift path before the machine arrives. The operator has the right to refuse unsafe lifts.

Yes — this is one of the key advantages of a hydra over a fixed or mobile crane. A hydra can enter factory sheds and warehouse buildings provided there is adequate door height clearance (typically 4.5–5 metres for the boom in stowed position) and the floor load-bearing capacity can support the machine weight (18–22 tonnes). Confirm floor specs and doorway dimensions before booking.

The minimum booking period is typically 1 working day (8 hours). Half-day (4-hour) bookings may be available at some vendors, usually charged at 60–70% of the daily rate. Weekly and monthly hydra rentals at construction sites attract discounts of 15–25% over the daily rate. Confirm availability for your duration when requesting a quote.

A standard 8-ton hydra crane requires approximately 3–4 metres of clearance on all sides at the working radius. The machine itself is typically 2.5–3 metres wide. For 12–14 ton models, slightly more space is needed for outrigger deployment. The lift area must be level — operating on slopes greater than 3° is not recommended. The operator will assess site conditions on arrival.

For construction sites, the crane must have a valid Third Party Inspection (TPI) certificate and the operator must hold a valid competency certificate from the Inspector of Factories or PESO. For road or public area operations, a road permit from the local municipal authority or NHAI may be required. TransRentals vendors provide machines with valid TPI certificates — confirm before booking.
