What’s Included in a Cork Crane Hire Site Survey?
Cork Crane Hire deploys a dedicated technical team to your site, conducting comprehensive evaluations to identify the most suitable crane, required transport, and essential accessories. This includes detailed assessments of potential obstacles such as road closures, overhead obstructions, access routes, and site-specific limitations that could impact lifting operations.
Under CPA lift conditions, all the above information will be provided without responsibility, although this does not have any impact on the hirer’s responsibility with current codes of practice and legislation.
Our certified team evaluates all critical factors to ensure seamless operations:
🟡 Access & Egress: Safe routes for crane delivery, accounting for narrow roads, low bridges, or weight-restricted paths.
🟡 Overhead Obstructions: Power lines, trees, or structures that could impact lifts.
🟡 Road Closures & Diversions: Permitting needs and traffic management plans.
🟡 Parking Bay Suspensions: Logistical planning for urban sites with limited space.
🟡 Load Analysis: Weight, dimensions, and fragility of goods to determine crane capacity.
🟡 Crane & Accessory Recommendations: Tailored equipment (e.g., Mobile Tower Cranes, All-Terrain Cranes) and rigging requirements.
